AudioQuest Vodka vs Purist Audio Ethernet Cable

AQ Vodka was my choice after going through a variety of ethernet cables, haven't heard the Purist, although I've run a number of Purist cables in system over the years. Sure the Purist is nice, but haven't felt the need to change since AQ Vodka.

What’s the rest of your system?  Until you get into a much higher end systems, a CAT cable should be the last cable to even think about replacing. Yes, I’m sure there is a difference, but even OCD Mikey said the Cat cable made the least difference!

@curiousjim I am finishing up building my system now. The Ethernet is one of the last things to get.

DH Labs Reunion ethernet is very good and not real expensive. It is well shielded and uses quality connectors. Downside is it is stiff to work with in tight spaces.

Save your money. Any CAT cable that meets its specs will deliver those 1’s and 0’s perfectly! To believe otherwise is to be a science/engineering denier! Let the rock throwing begin!
