BNC Cable is RG6 the best?

antigrunge2,
Thanks for that link.

Thanks. I tried to find it, but was unsuccessful.

Well I had a Valhalla 1.5M that I use with my Tascam to record HI-Rez music, so that is the one I tried, but I ordered a 1 meter length.

It cost more than the clock! But I feel Valhalla cables will hold there value better than others mentioned and it is a very good audio sonic match with the clock!

BTW, the Valhalla is directional and I was surprised that the arrow should point towards the EtherRegen from the clock. It sounded better that way and was confirmed by the clock manufacturer.

So, after demoing a Nordost Valhalla 1 BNC cable, I was quite impressed with it over the stock BNC. So, I bought it.
Hard to believe that a cable for a clock could improve the sound quality so much.

ozzy

Does anyone else have a BNC cable preference that can be used with the AfterDark clock?

Just got an email from Chris at VH.

The BNC's add $250 to the bulk wire price. That's why the large price difference. That sure seems like a lot for 2 BNC's.

ozzy

The only thing I am not sure of is, the VH uses stranded wire.

yoby,
Glad you corrected that, I almost started taking it apart! LOL!

BTW, I am confused on the VH Pulsar. At there website it says it is about $319 but on aa it is listed for $99. Perhaps the aa does not include the BNC fittings? I have a message out to VH to clarify.

yoby,
Thanks for the info. Originally I did communicate with the person you referred to and wanted to try a unit and perhaps do a review. He was more inclined to sell units than audition them, So, I then asked to buy one. He stopped answering emails, phone calls or even messages sent through this forum system. (I think he was having trouble obtaining more units and had a backlog of pre-purchased units). I shouldn’t say never, he eventually messaged me back weeks later after I gave up hope and then bought the clock direct from AfterDark in Hong Kong. BTW, It was delivered in 5 days! So he is off my list. (No soup for him?)

I have a very hi-end, powerful 12v Linear power supply that I connected to the clock. So I think I’m all set with that.
Also, I do have a dc cable from Ghent Audio.

But, I may try a SR fuse in it after I complete the BNC cable search.

audiojedi,
I have not been able to locate a Black Cat cable but I can buy the  Apogee Wyde Eye. It looks to be purple, is that correct?
It comes in many lengths even one foot long!

ozzy

kijanki,
I could go 1.5M but the AfterDark clock and the EtherRegen are very close together and that would mean a lot of cable drooping.

audiojedi,
I'll take a look at the Black Cat Silverstar.

Since, I have the RG-6 cable already terminated with a BNC I'm going to try that first. I still wonder what the clock transfers. Is it audio signal???

ozzy

Sorry slip up, wrong decimal point.
.5 Meter (or 1/2" Meter). I suppose I could go to 1 meter if it matters.

ozzy

kijank,
I would probably be looking at a .05M finished cable.

antigrunge2,
Thanks for that info. I'll check it out.
