| Cables for Aurender N150 I use a Zavfino USB but my only comparison is the stock/cheap USB that came with my DAC, but, they make great cables at very competitive prices. Construction appears similar to DH Labs. Having said that, I was recently challenged by an AG thread ... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations I have Zavfino Nova's $390 for a 2.5m pair. OCC copper. (my system is posted in virtual systems for reference) They will make a 10ft but it will be a custom non-returnable item. Best bargain in cables IMO (and many others here agree). | |
| Value of a premium Ethernet cable @lalitk No, thank you! I'm not willing to spend a lot on digital at the moment after buying new speakers and amp in the last 2 months so to end up with a nice sonic upgrade for $130 is indeed a great outcome. | |
| Value of a premium Ethernet cable @tksteingraber I’ve got a good DAC and entry level streamer and I am going straight from a Cox Panoramic modem. An optical switch or other audio-grade switch/filter and/or a very good streamer might render the Ethernet cable less important. | |
| Value of a premium Ethernet cable From Pangea Any of our cables that have directional requirements have an arrow on one of the terminations pieces. That one is the side for output. If there’s no arrow, there’s no direction. | |
| Value of a premium Ethernet cable @lollipopguild @tonywinga @deep_333 I tried the Pangea Premier SE and the AQ Cinnamon this weekend. I was using a Blue Jeans (Belken) Cat 6 ($20). I also had a closer listen to WiFi. I REALLY wanted to send the AQ back, so if there was any bi... | |
| Can anyone explain what a power tube does inside an amplifier, eg kt88. And no I can’t | |

| Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD @dcevans Cool, glad you got something out this. Backbert and Zesto look really interesting, the Zesto looks gorgeous. I’ve bookmarked these, thx! | |
| Value of a premium Ethernet cable @lollipopguild Interesting video and I read the white paper, thanks for sharing. I am not one that believes digital music is just 1s and 0s arriving at the DAC. As an example, my BS Node 130 sounded obviously better with an LPS upgrade, which is ... | |
| Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD @bgross Not at all - useful info. At some point in the future I may move to separates: tube pre-amp and SS power-amp. | |
| Value of a premium Ethernet cable a sine wave in a digital file *the digital representation of a sine wave in a digital file | |
| Value of a premium Ethernet cable Well regarded members of this forum have stated adamantly that digital audio is a true stream of data, and not a bit checked/error corrected file sent over TCP/IP in packets. This confused me so I contacted BlueSound. Digital audio is transmitted... | |
| Value of a premium Ethernet cable @antigrunge2 The interference messes with the shape of the sine wave thereby changing both amplitude and midpoint This is impossible if we are discussing only the transfer of a digital file from the source (e.g. Qobuz) to the streamer. The di... | |
| Value of a premium Ethernet cable @antigrunge2 If you think there is a sine wave in the data being transmitted to the streamer, then go nuts on cables. I said nothing about clocking. |
