Ethernet Cable


New component rack ordered and need longer ethernet cable.  Been out of the market so what cables should I consider?  Currently using AQ Vodka.

@joecasey,

Ethernet cable is probably the most controversial cable in HiFi. Many here (cable naysayers) chime in shortly stating off the shelf Belkin cable is just as good as AQ Vodka....it’s digital bits, 1’s and 0’s blah blah. 

My personal favorite is Purist Audio Design CAT7. Very neutral, detailed and smooth sounding cable for the money.

@david_ten,

Thank you for your recommendation on Oyaide Neo Cable. I just ordered the cable from eBay seller, let’s have another shootout 😉
@david_ten,

I have received my Oyaide IS-707 RJ Cable today. Right off the bat, nice build quality, flexible and high quality locking connectors seen only on uber-expensive cables. I will allow burn-in time between now and the weekend before I sit down for some critical listening / camparison. 

Cheers!
David,

If you are referring to connectors, SoTM cable already has those. But the darn cable is quite stiff, nevertheless it is still my reference cable 😄
@joecasey,

I agree, Supra is a fabulous sounding cable and an excellent value. The Oyaide IS-707 RJ Cable was good but once you hear Supra, there is no way you can go back to IS-707.
