Hard to generalize, since different cables should be made differently for different applications and different goals. If you tell me specifically what you are trying to do, I might be able to make some suggestions. For some general ideas, thoug...

[quote user="Vance"] Romy, it takes several months for those blackgate caps to fully calm down…. [/quote]
Actually I take more like several decades and then 5 years after you each time shut down the unit for 5 minutes. I am known to be not a huge fu...

Actually your point on 75 ohm cables is a good one. I had our lab guys look at the various 75 ohm cables we had to check how accurate a load they presented. Various designer bnc-bnc cables were checked and a surprising number did not represent 75 ohm...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]The most interesting in who of it is the question: what relation
cable impedance has to do with actual sound? It is easy to take number of cable
and to measure how close they are to 75R. It is very easy if the cable that

Hello RomyI had a friend pick up the Expressive from the seller for me. I am a little disapointed in the physical apperance as there are a few scratches and the seller thinks I a crazy for saying so.I haven't tried it yet as my friend still has...

I have absolutely no assumption how those cables sound but the write up about them is absolutely idiotic.

I have no dog in this fight, in fact I have even no opinion on the subject. However, the subject is kind of fascinating and ridicules at the same time.
The guys who sell digital audio and all of those NAS storages f...

Paul, thank you for your input. I think it is better to keep with AN UK cables then. :-)...

Got the AES/EBU to S/PDIF adaptor and it turned out to work very nice. I do not have “audiophile-approved” better AES/EBU cables but among those cables that I have the S/PDIF Synapses + the adaptor sound more interesting then the native AES/EBU + non...

I've been thinking about how I am going to wire these Bass Cannons as well as the horns on the horn stack. For some time now I have preferred ribbon/foil speaker cables for the relatively low sensitivity speakers I have been using. The reason I bel...

If you read my site or talk to me then you know that I am very much not a proponent to dummy idea of balancing specific problems of playback system by using specific complimentary cables. I always tend to use individually neutral components with ...

In this cable thread there are some ideas about materials and construction of cables. My most recent attempt for good-sounding shielded phono cables are from Bud Purvine, using his specialty Litz wire construction, Vampire 800C connectors, and unblea...

Here we go, I will be telling you that I am looking or that I have found the “best” cable to use for bass channel? Sound like a stupid thing to tell you and sound like a stupid thing to read at my site. Still, I will be obnoxious enough to insist...

I reticently picked a new DAC and ADC processors. Not that I needed but they were the brand that I for years was trying to test but never had a chance, now I do. The processors use AES/EBU connectors. So, not I need to find reasonably sounding AES/EB...

Considering the employments I would like to make in my installation after the floor will be done and the system is re-assembled I am very much thinking about some kind of new cable management solution. I have 21 powered components in my playback syst...

... as I also found something VERY similar, Roman... the truth is in the sentence "... bass-shy in full range..." as a full-range cable is equalized for 20-20khz and - you'll agree on this - the ULF frequencies of your system aren't so common, around...

we replaced the AMR DP-777 DAC with New CEC DA 3.0 DAC (30k$) to test between three digital cables because we could not believe digital cables could have huge difference .The connection between CEC TL 1 and CEC DA 3.0 could be 4 Link (clock data ... ...

Me being exuberant about the new ULF capacity does not necessarily mean that ULF contribution is right and proper, let me to explain. There is a musical event that has it sonic representation. This sonic representation better or worst was captured by...

Just think back a couple of years where you read about claims of difference in the sound of cables and wondered if it could be true. Well, in many cases it isn't and those posting document the BS by making claims that simply do not describe what cabl...

Armen, your notion that pricy cables might cost nothing and that it is a bad thing is absolutely bogus in my view. I do not have need to argue this point but I think you might view into the subject deeper. Higher cost is paid for assurance to ha...

Amir, it is funny to hear that you like $4,600 Purist but would prefer $10 Belkin SPDIF. The Synapse is basically an effective low pass filter, albeit this seems to help many systems. Like I said up the thread, I have not concerned myself with SPDIF...

Dear drdna, would you please give us some info about your cables, as I'm tired of seeing $10000000000000 cables which in fact the cost of material is $0.00000000001!Armen...

After the Dominus fluid refilling the cables sound bright as it was brand new but this brightness burns away much faster than when a cable was new, approximately twice faster. Over the years I was asking Jim to introduce replenishment kits, some kind...

I do not defend Amir’s
observations and I also do not take his comments seriously. I have no idea what
he is taking about ground loop,
not sure that he has an idea BUT I do
agree that separation of power cables from
each other after the generato...
