Jstropp,
Please name names! |
Hey, U Byte! Oh yeah, U Byte 2! Well I'm thinking about going one box. It's the only solution for this insanity. |
I love threads that last 7 years! |
It seems Paleriders opinion is that all digital cables sound the same and (I assume ignorant) people are just pretending they sound different.
Palerider, what digital cables have you tried and between what equipment before you arrived at your opinion?
Is it unreasonable to ask what experience you've had on which you base your opinion? |
I am asking your experience with digital cables since you seem to know quite a bit about them as well as peoples perceptions of them. Surely your opinions must be based on something. Very simple Palerider. |
Original post on 12-01-00: Why do digital cables sound different? After much discussion, may I venture that, as of 07-02-09, the question has not been answered?
Could it be possible that no one knows? 8^) |
This thread started 12/01/00. I love it!!! |
I'm not making ANY statements or claims about digital cables although I've listened to and owned quite a few including a number of very highly thought of cables.
You're making statements and expressing opinions on both digital cables and peoples perceptions of them. I don't think it's unreasonable to ask what you're basing your opinions on, is it? Simply put, what is your experience with digital cables? Is that just too crazy a question to ask?
I put more value in posts that state: Here's the cables I've listened to with such and such equipment, here's what I heard and here's what I think. That I can accept. Such opinions have some value to many of us.
Blanket statements with no reference point are pretty much meaningless. Nuff said! |
Palerider,
Why do you assume no one here has used AT&T digital cables?
And why do you consider it better than other digital interconnects?
You keep making statements with no supporting information. |
I have never used Toslink but I have used glass cables and found sonic differences even in these. |
So may I assume that the less jitter a digital cable induces the "better" that cable will "sound"?
Is this induced jitter measurable from cable to cable? Could an absolute "best" be established using the lowest jitter criteria. And if this is true, why are so many digital cables (100s or more) available?
Or, is this purely a theoretical discussion? |
I don't necessarily need the "best" but it seems that if the level of induced jitter is the primary criteria for judging digital cables and if this can be measured then these cables should much easier to select. Unlike other cables there would be much less subjective opinion to deal with and things could be simpler with less trial and error.
Digital cable reviews could read; 20 cables tested, here's the 3 with lowest jitter. Then the only things to choose would be termination and color. Maybe wishful thinking. 8^) |
Once again, this thread rears its ugly head! Some threads never die. Let the fun begin. 8^) |
I have to admit it, I love this thread!!! |
Gentlemen, this thread is nearing 14 years old! Shall we bake a cake? |
