After 24 hours on both the ViaBlue and the Belden I'll say that the Sablon is the most enjoyable cable. I'll put 150 hours on each and report again. The Belden is very intriguing in that it is certainly the most direct and immediate sounding. I'm hoping the bottom end opens up, there is more harmonic complexity overall, and the top end gets tamed down. As of right now it is the most fatiguing of the three cables.
ghentaudio Ethernet cable review-wow-90 bucks
I had been reviewing ethernet cables threads on AG and noticed a couple of members recommending ghentaudio as a reasonable and valuable upgrade. I am not a flat earther so I was open to spending up to $1000 for a cable in a cable shootout from the cable company. I had been using the ethernet cable that was shipped with my dCS Bartok. I decided to order the Belden CAT6 with Metz ends from ghentaudio. I'm listening to it right now and it is significantly better than my standard cable. I will not be looking for another ethernet cable for a while for sure. The biggest gain is in the depth of image, good improvement! Its sonically slightly more detailed, and musical. These improvements are not huge, but they are audible to me. I would also mention that its very well made and the steel ends are impressive, however I don't really care how it looks, its how it sounds. Thanks to whoever clued me in to this cable. To the bit non-believers, it's 90 bucks, give it try, I think you will be glad you did. This was 90 bucks well spent. BTW it took 25 days to get to me, so you might want the upgraded shipping.
