Esoteric Clocks Owners / and cables

A questions to owners of Esoteric clocks and what BNC cables they are using to connect to their players. I am using Nirvana Digital Cables top of their line up - and was wondering do these 75ohm cables make a real sonic difference ???...as they are not carrying audio signals ???? Now, I was suprised to hear a difference when a went to a real good power cord on my clock ....but what about these cables ??? Your thoughts on this question and also what brands you are using and why. Many thanks.

Hi, I don't have Esoteric gear (used to have a dv-50s), but do have a separate clock with my dCS Scarlatti set up. I have tried 3 clock cables. Stock, Cardas Lightning 15, and Purist Audio Designs Proteus Provectus Praesto. All bnc to bnc.

The differences are clearly audible. As you step up, it seems to let your clock to more of what it's already doing along the lines of focus, definition, presentation of information.

To me, it's worth the money here!

on a scale of 1 -10...stock cables being 1. Cardas being 2 or 3. Purist Proteus Provectus Praesto being like 8 or 9. It was significantly better than the other two.

It also seems to breakin...but not as dramatic as signal cables.

Since you're all wired with Purist already...I think you have to go this path. I've also asked Purist if they can build a Proteus Provectus Firewire for my dCS Scarlatti...I bet that's another crucial cable...maybe if some else asks ;-)
