| Blackness - how quiet does it need to be? Jitter in playback of digital source is basically noise proportional to amplitude of the signal and not detectable without signal. | |
| Don't read you'll be sorry "If it is indeed Rockefeller, it's still a huge bargain at the price, right?"Not really. This "factory" most likely makes whole line of fake cables including fake Rockefeller. | |
| Don't read you'll be sorry On Audioquest website there is theory-education sub-section "Do No Harm". Audioquest explains that silver plated copper is used mostly at high frequency video or digital applications but they use it for subwoofer cables. It sounds like PSS is pure... | |
| Don't read you'll be sorry Silver coated copper is not uncommon. For instance DH Labs Q10 (my brother cables) use high quality copper silver coated:http://www.silversonic.com/docs/products/Q10.html | |
| Are my CAT5 and router my weak link? Al, Thank you. I often tend to think in absolute terms while boundaries in reality are not that sharp. Tubeking sugested that shielding might compromise twist density making it worse instead of better. It is easy enough to compare since Ethernet c... | |
| Don't read you'll be sorry I suspect that once some people see $8500 cable for $380 they cannot resist and the fact that it is made in China makes whole thing believable. Of course there is also placebo effect - if you believe that it is K2 it will sound like one. | |
| Don't read you'll be sorry Manitunc, Asuuming that this wire is Rockefeller. It could be another layer of deception since we're dealing with dishonest people. Bezels, wrapping and connectors are most likely very cheap. | |
| Are my CAT5 and router my weak link? Bryon, Your case might be different. Perhaps Ethernet cable was in close proximity to analog wiring (interconnect or speaker) or I'm just plain wrong about it (I was wrong once in 1960). Audio is not exact science and I'm just trying to understand... | |
| Are my CAT5 and router my weak link? If I understand it correctly Ethernet cable connects computer to wireless router. If that's the case then it is in some distance from the DAC that has built in wireless receiver eliminating capacitive coupling and leaving electromagnetic radiation... | |
| Are my CAT5 and router my weak link? Jeffatus, Time jitter is the only thing that affects sound of digital transmission. Wireless or Ethernet data is just that - a data. It means it is being sent in packets without timing. Bad Ethernet cable or wireless router can cause disruption is... | |
| Don't read you'll be sorry Marakanetz, Perhaps AQ cares if design is stolen. I'm not sure what provider means. I don't believe AQ sells original cables with 95% discount. It is like with bootleg DVDs, I wouldn't buy it but many people do. | |
| SB Touch to Metrum Octave: toslink, coax RCA, BNC? It wasn't Octave, just short coax between CDP and DAC without changing female socket. I used Canare coax and connectors but there is a lot of different choices. Quality of shielding is extremely important. Buy or build either very short <12" or... | |
| Don't read you'll be sorry Audioquest manufactures cables in China for a long time (10 years?). They moved production there, cut prices and changed names of the cables to stay competitive. Python IC, for instance, became King Cobra (half of the price). I suspect that big po... | |
| SB Touch to Metrum Octave: toslink, coax RCA, BNC? I used Canare 75ohm RCA plugs. | |
| Another cheater plug thread Elizabeth, Plane crashing or bus driving into your home does not depend on you and is therefore not worth discussing. Driving without seat-belts or good brakes is dangerous no matter how small chance of accident is. Similarly, leaving one metal ca... |
