Great. I am very interested in this!

Well Al, Rob and others here is an update on the Belden as a digital cable. After 124 hours of burn in the Belden is very good. The Sablon and Belden are very, very close in my particular rig. I would say the Sablon has a tad more upper end air......

Sorry Richard as I just saw this after reading your Agon email. All 4 wires are in one Tech flex netting per side. I twisted two positive WE runs and then separately twisted two negative WE runs. I then twisted the double runs and placed in Tech F... 
I want to use the Tidal music service but my dac
Thank you Mitch2 for the post. I bet the unit is awesome! I unfortunately cannot spend that kind of money and am looking at spending up to perhaps $2500 tops. I like $1000 - $1500 even more! I won't rip CDs as I just don't want to go there at all....

Ha! Yes very sorry. Meant 16 gauge. Some have purchased 14 and 16 is the one that is proven!

Yes purchase only from the ebayer you mentioned. Get the 14 gauge stranded only. Can be black or red from the seller. Get ready for a big positive surprise! Oh my!

Peter, the converter you listed is very inexpensive and while I wanted to stay away from one the price makes it a possible consideration. I wonder how it compares to an Offramp and other much more costly ones.

I don't want to use a computer and don't have one for this application. I need a less complicated, one box solution. I want to avoid a converter also if possible. Thanks Agoners. 
Need Advice on a Low End CD Player Giant Killer
Paul at TRL is a great guy. You are referring to one thread on another site that is full of immature, child like posters. No reason and reasonableness in those couple of posters. No worries.He may not want to do it, but just call him and ask. I ac...

Well said Al and the explaination was perfect! I will compare the 52 ohm Belden to the 75 ohm Sablon once the Belden has more time on it. I did notice a slight loss of detail initially and perhaps this is the reason. I had assumed it was due to la...

Well, RCA connectors do not conform to the "strict" 75 ohm adherence that we read about as being so important in digital. We also read to never use twisted wire as a digital cable, but my Sablon is twisted wire, not coax, and it sounded far better...

Meant to say the Belden sounds better.....

Al, help me with your last post. My current Sablon is 75 ohm and this sounds better thus far. 52 ohm vs 75? Not much difference and you seem to be saying it is a poor match!

I have not tried the WE wire for IC's, but may well do that. I bet they would have the same great bass as they do when used for speaker cables.

Mitch2, understand your thoughts but simply want to point out all connectors have a sound. I don't use binding post either as they also hurt the sound. I just use them as a clamp to hold the wires. That is the best connection.
