    (UK) Quality Digital Coaxial Right->Left cable?

    One thing I've noticed with my MA-15D's is that the left speaker doesn't quite have the oomph of the right speaker (the heavy one that has all the tuning stuff). Did a bit of googling, and a common reason is that the supplied cable needed to be replaced. Saw mentions of things like shielding...

    Optical or Coax, Cheap or Expensive?

    Hi Folks. I’m currently connecting my Node Streamer to RME ADI-2 using an inexpensive optical cable bought from Amazon (FosPower). I'm wondering (1) whether optical sounds better or Coax? (2) upgrading my cable to a more expensive version (i.e AudioQuest cable) would result in improving the...

    RCA cables gone bad?

    Recommendations for `3.5 to 2x 2.5` cable for headphones (E-MU Rosewood)

    Hi ASR, I've recently snapped my very flimsy cables for my pairs of E-MU Rosewood. Does anyone know of any good brand (ship to US) that has braided/snap resistant cables that will work? I've attached the picture of my snapped cable below (middle connector) :) Also, do the notches on either end...

    Looking for advice on a headphone cable carrying microphone signal.

    I am looking to find some bare cable (no attached connectors) to repair my Audio Technica ATH-G1. What I am having trouble with is finding a 4-5 conductor cable that is close to 4mm and has a silicone outer insulation. From my understanding even though the current cable has 6 conductors (5 that...

    9" XLR Interconnect Pairs and HD 5xx/6xx 4 Pin XLR Cables

    Hi Y'all, I got hooked on the headphone audio bug and have been a lurker here for a while, just made an account recently. Some of my DIY audio cables and my setup research definitely has had me coming back to ASR. I am decidedly objective, numbers are what matter most to me * <10% THD is...
