cisco 2960 switch

Posted by: French Rooster on 23 May 2017

i received the 2960 switch today. After 2/3 hours run, vs my netgear gs105/tp ps, i can say that generally there is a little improvement on dynamics, decay and edge of drums and percussions. But the netgear /tp ps is a little nicier sounding, more soft and less forward, but not enough to say i prefer it , perhaps on some tracks.

So which one do you prefer?

i decided to keep the cisco, for the little more dynamic sound. But if my music was only vocal and acoustic gentle jazz, i would keep the netgear with tp ps.  The best would  be certainly the cisco with a good linear ps as tp ps or uptone, but the cisco can't take a linear ps.  So i had to make a choice...   As for switch alone, without additional ps, the cisco is definitely better.
