Ethernet cables
I’m of the opinion given what I’ve read that Ethernet cables, along with everything else in the streaming chain, can make a significant difference in ultimate streaming performance (please those who think it’s just 1s and 0s please stay out of this). Due to this I bought a Wireworld Starlight 8 Ethernet cable because it seems much better than generic cables but certainly far short of the higher $$$ Ethernet cables (the WW platinum would be an obvious case in point). My question is, with the Starlight 8 how much good can I expect over lower-priced or generic Ethernet cables and how much more performance can I expect from stepping up to better Ethernet cables? Please be specific if you’ve directly A/Bed the Starlight 8 versus better cables as that’d be very useful and helpful info. Thanks!
Resurrecting a 1yr old thread. "Ethernet Cables". ----- Ask: Are you folks still of the belief a better ethernet cable truly helps the sound of Zeros (0s) and Ones (1s)? And, if so why? Any new updates to share as to what you are you hearing, comparatively? What does a poor quality design ethernet cable sound like compared to a really good one - can someone describe real differences? |
Will do. Might as well, and its low cost enough too. What’s funny is I’ve completely gone up/down the stack, multiple times, and all other cables too, ridiculously so. And, yet, the ONE thing I never did much more with was to attempt to upgrade my Ethernet cable to my streamer beyond a $15 hospital level grade cable. I won’t go crazy, but might give it the next cost level [or two-up] a try. What the heck, will try it. :). Is there a 2m Black color Ethernet cable under $100 that you guys really like? |
