Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
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.

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... 
Looking for really fine cables at really low price
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...

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.

Well an update on the mighty Belden cable with Switchcraft connectors used as a digital cable. The cable only has 10 hours on it thus far. It replaced an outstanding Sablon Audio Panatela pure silver twisted wire digital cable in natural fibers. I...

Mitch2, I am an avid DIY builder with gear and wire. I know you want to use the better connectors, I get it, but please use the same Switchcraft connectors that usually come with these Use the same exact build, connecting the shield on both ends e...

But the best part is still ahead of you. The Belden ic matched with this WE wire takes it up to a whole new realm. The combo is unbeatable and unmatched in my experience as well as the experience of many others.

I know. I had to discard all of my previous knowledge, experience and assumptions with this magic wire.
