ETHERNET CABLES

just let it go @nonoise you will be annoying the ASR crowd and wasting your time. Looks like ASR site may have been down for maintenance or they all just took a wrong exit. 

@samgar2 I believe you had asked a question to get educated, take your system to the next level, explore and learn.
You have a variety of opinions here with some that are based on theories and some based on personal experience and objective listening within one’s system. I believe it’s easy to discern which is which. Don’t let anyone stun your learning process. This never got anyone anywhere.

Well put, thanks!

@nonoise the irony with your name…. Lol.

but to your comment, there are literally people in this post saying that they went from muddled mess with 44/16 streaming and voila new cable and its pristine 44/16 streaming.

and there is an extremely low chance that you are introducing any noise in your house, and again, this noise doesn’t leak anywhere into any component with modern equipment. Ethernet today is way too robust.

No one is calling anyone crazy, however, it helps to learn a bit how your brain works when you are talking about something that is physically impossible to make any difference. Your brain is influenced in many ways, and if you are not careful, it is easy to “hear” a difference with any change, confirmation bias is a huge issue for the untrained.
