| 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... | |
| Ypsilon BC-1 Balanced Transformers - $3600? http://www.lundahl.se/sidor/line_in.html | |
| Don't read you'll be sorry Original Audioqeuest K2s are fine cables, I'm sure, but reading 210 reviews at: http://www.amazon.com/AudioQuest-K2-terminated-speaker-cable/product-reviews/B000J36XR2/ref=cm_cr_dp_see_all_btm?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&sortBy=bySubmissionDa... | |
| SB Touch to Metrum Octave: toslink, coax RCA, BNC? There are 75ohm RCA plugs. Good coax should be better than glass Toslink but I'm sure you'll find people with exactly opposite experience. It is system dependent. Coax is sensitive to impedance mismatch and ambient electrical noise. Toslink does n... | |
| File format, software and settings? Mike, When you use network (wireless or not) music is delivered in packets without timing and timing is recreated by network device. Computer type or speed, amount of memory, program used for playback, type of hard disk, storage format etc. don't ... | |
| Determining exact power being sent to your speaker Vineman55, average music power delivered to speakers is only few percent of peak power (unless you listen to sinewaves) It is because average loudness you listen to (half of peak loudness) requires only 1/10 of peak power. In addition music has ga... |
