| Update from Nordost Heimdall to Frey speaker cable mgrif104 "There are easily measurable differences in conductance, inductance and capacitance among cables. My point is... so do you trust measurement data more than reviews/comments (made by influencers/paid trolls) you find on the internet or i... | |
| Ethernet cables invalid Thanks for the info. Who are those big name cable manufacturers? | |
| Update from Nordost Heimdall to Frey speaker cable mgrif104 "There are easily measurable differences in conductance, inductance and capacitance among cables." Easily measurable? I do that in my lab but don’t find it easy at all. Those are the electrical characteristics of an audio cable along wi... | |
| Ethernet cables lalitk "cable manufacturers don’t required to include measurements to sell cables and it will still perform as intended. " Yes they are required to present measurement data. If you buy a data cable on amazon or a pair speaker cables from some ma... | |

| The molecular level explanation of "cable burn-in" cleeds Thank you. clustrocasual Did you get paid to write the story or what's the purpose? Bizarre... it seems you're desperate to prove 'cable burn-in' is real what for? What really grabbed my attention was " I saw CalTech guys talking about ... | |
| Ethernet cables soix I'm being truthful and, as an electrical engineer, i know a thing or two about cable/wire electronics and that's how i contribute to this thread. "It’s really sad and pathetic." so you resort to name calling. I will give you an example. A ... | |
| Best USB cable upgrade for around $1000 Looking at your posts, you have been overly negative about other people’s investments into high end cabling, so why even contribute to this thread? I’m being truthful and that’s how i contribute. Even the OP requested suggestions near $1K. Yes, ... | |
| Best USB cable upgrade for around $1000 Synergistic Research SRX USB (very expensive) and the FTA Sinope, which pops up under $1K on the used market. Only the sky is the limit. I don't know this seller... and i've had it. Confucius days you can save money when you have money | |
| Ethernet cables " I can’t cite a single source that would explain it all." of course i already knew it. I know the IEEE very well our team has submitted our research manuscripts to them a few times. I can’t really find "digital signal waves are analog". So could... | |
| Ethernet cables wesheadley Well Put! Just one problem though. They (cable sellers) are not cable manufacturers. Just like us they buy digital/data cables on amazon/ebay under $10/pc and add jacket (and heat shrink tubing) in someone’s garage or warehouse and sel... | |
