| Most Important, Unloved Cable... @almarg +1 I agree it is most likely the faulty poorly designed boutique equipment used by the evangelists here. Knowing what Jinjuku has stated technically about Ethernet (all that buffering of digital bits) then the ONLY conclusion is that "unin... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... @jinjuku The silence of the evangelists in response to your $2000 challenge is absolutely deafening. Any rational person has to ask, "how real can these claimed audible effects be if the evangelists refuse to pocket easy money and dismiss the oppo... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Lignite-based power plants with Cat 6 work well. If you have harsh or glaring sound then it might be bituminous coal at the power station which burns with a white flame and needs cat 7 to sound smoother. | |
| Recording Studio sound Vs. Audiophile system I have not had the experience but at home I have used similar gear to the main monitors used by many studios/artists ...Doug Sax, Pink Floyd, Sting, Jack White, Mark Knopfler, Coldplay, Rolling Stones, Diana Krall, Tom Petty, Telarc etc. Etc.I wou... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... @jinjuku. But the golden eared gurus who review and advise the masses are able to hear the difference in the quality of the coal burning at the coal-fired electric power station from 50 miles away - so why not Ethernet cables?I suspect most of us ... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... @jinjuku The OP just "knows" he is right and you are wrong. It has nothing to do with ears and everything to do with a closed mindset. I maintain it is faulty boutique equipment and incorrect setups that account for all the weird and amazing "audi... | |
| Benchmark Dac3 XLR is always better than cheap crap RCA. However if you are lucky and using limited equipment (more gear = higher probability of ground loops) and short runs then RCA can sound just as good. I have both DAC1 and DAC2 from Benchmark. Just curious ... | |

| Most Important, Unloved Cable... @jinjuku Amazing to see that that those from the school of you can’t dismiss all manner of tin foil hat tweaks "unless you have actually tried them you can’t have an opinion" - apparently will not test their own assertions!!!Frankly it is laughabl... | |
| What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers?? My speaker cables cost more than your price range and were purchased new but honestly they make absolutely no difference at all to the sound. Extremely solid and the highest quality robust connection is all I have observed from using industrial/mi... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... @charles1dad +1 You and Don are right. This thread is so diverse - thanks to all the wisdom displayed here and some great contributions. Perhaps the thread could be expanded even further! How about My Little Pony? Anyone have a favorite from a aud... | |
| Does anyone notice a reduction in sound quality when a tuner is part of ther audio chain? Yes for sure better gear will help. RCA connections share ground. XLR is a better option.Glad to see you don’t buy into the idea that your gear is so resolving that simply the proximity of the tuner will affect it. There are many tin toilers here ... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... @douglas_schroeder So let me get this straight. Audio gear that is 100% totally sensitive and completely transparent to the audio signal (music) with zero distortion or coloration or any artifacts from power, Ethernet cables or other external non... | |
| Most Important, Unloved Cable... Bill,I think the point is that we can hear differences. Fortunately I have a setup that does not emphasize minute differences in wires or the digital source or power cord or whatever extraneous. All the focus, accuracy and precision is on the sour... | |
