| Suggestions on Ethernet cables for Accuphase digital separates.. @garebear the purpose the cable will serve in your setup is an interface between an SACD transport and a DAC. 1. It’s most likely a really short run. 2. You don’t have to deal with garbage associated with routers, switches and the wall wart power ... | |
| Suggestions on Ethernet cables for Accuphase digital separates.. They do! And it’s very good and not very expensive. | |

| Suggestions on Ethernet cables for Accuphase digital separates.. @garebear cat 7 or cat 8 doesn’t matter. RJ45 connections are standard. What matters is they don’t all sound the same and even if someone with the exact same components gives you a recommendation it will not guarantee your results with the same ca... | |
| Ethernet cables @garrettc Shielding can help reduce RMI interference. The wires themselves are twisted pairs to reduce interference. True for “copper” Ethernet cables, false for fiber optic. There are streamers made today that accept this type of connection ... | |
| power cord for pass 250.8 Not if you have your speakers 25ft apart and one if em is jammed into a corner with a ginormous sectional in front of it. A stock power cord will do just fine. | |
| Ethernet cables @lugsytl47 I call 🐂 💩 unless you conducted controlled blind testing, I don’t believe you. I suggest sending your fridge to Amir at ASR to see if his measurements confirm your confirmation bias induced findings. | |
