My Gemini arrived early last week with an Alpha Ground Cable and Ethernet tail. The Alpha and tail were utilized to ground my router to the Gemini which brought immediate and amazing results. The degree to which this relatively simple addition positively affected my system is difficult to comprehend and explain. This is even more striking given the fact a segmented Altaira hub system was already in place on the “traditional” audio gear. Most, including myself before last week, do not consider the network components linked to their audio systems to be an extension of it. Powering my router, switch, and Add-Powr Symphony I/O device through Gemini and grounding the router and I/O as well has brought another level of transparency, focus and expansion to the soundstage. (The switch is grounded through the SG hub) I posted a much more detailed reaction (on an audio forum ) too voluminous to copy here.
The Gemini is an amazing component and an unbelievable bargain especially when packaged with the Venom HC v2. I can only bear witness to its use in the “network closet” application, but it is a home run there. Thanks for your time and attention. I realize the Gemini is a somewhat ‘niche’ piece obviously overshadowed by the reference level distributors, but when used to its potential, it’s right there with them. It does for my network gear what my Denali does for the rest of the system. The more people learn about it, the more units you will sell. It’s as simple as that.
