cables

Hi Guys, Sorry for the dumb question, but how to choose cables for the speakers? I read couple of threads here, but could find a simple answer :D. I ended up with Lintons 85 and Leak as an amp, but now need to connect them. Do I need to bother or just choose any cable ? I don't know what...

This is a very interesting video Adam Savage YouTube channel used a CT scanner to look inside an Apple thunderbolt cable and compared the engineering with an Amazon Basics and an even cheaper cable. And crazy as it might seem I can totally see how Apple can justify the cost of the cable...

Hi, I have an unorthodox setup. I have my computer connected over HDMI ARC to the NAD T748 receiver. Using the receivers RCA pre-outs I connect it with 3m 2xRCA to 3.5mm jack cables to two pairs of KEF LSX speakers for 4.1 surround (Awaiting one LS50 anniversary for center channel). I have...

Hello everyone, I'm not very tech-savvy, so I'm turning to the forum :) I'd like to connect a Windows PC and a PC with Daphile to the Topping D90SE DAC, which has USB and I2S inputs. I found this interface https://www.smsl-audio.com/portal/product/detail/id/808.html sold by Amazon.pl and this...

Hi! New to the forum but been producing for many years as a hobby. Just recently started focusing more on improving my overall sound quality and have a kinda new beginners question. Finally was able to buy an apartment with an extra spare room so Im now planning this to be my little home...

An interesting look into a field where the subtleties of cable design really do make a large difference. There's a bit around 14 minutes in where he compares the frequency response of a well engineered cable and a more generic cable after being twisted around. Not only is it interesting that the...

I'll be up front and totally honest here,I am a cable denier.Just so you know where my vote is going. Does it matter if I use zip cord for speaker cables?

Hi all, want to ask which of the Mogami cable best for usb cable (DAC)?

Archimago tested various RCA cables for their noise performance, and came to the conclusion that it doesn't matter: https://archimago.blogspot.com/2013/05/measurements-analogue-rca-interconnects.html I somewhat had a hard time finding information via the search function here if shielded cables...

Hi all, I'm going to knock together some interconnects and just wanted to double check as to the reasons one would choose one of these cables over the other. I'm almost positive the real world differences especially in such a short length of cable will be practically nothing and I imagine even...

To use my Sony IER-Z1R with plain 3.5mm sources when I need to, for convenience, I am getting a 4.4mm female to 3.5mm male adapter. Between option 1 and option 2, is there likely to be any difference in audio quality? I obviously don't expect an adapter to add to the quality, but I am concerned...

Hello! New member here, although I’ve been lurking long enough to have gained some valuable knowledge. One thing I learned about is the Adam Audio T5V. I was curious, so I bought a pair from my local Guitar Center, and I must say, I am VERY impressed. To me, one of their biggest virtues is that...

Hi Folks, Within the latest speaker-cables yack ("yet another kabels conversation") mostly filled with typical fluff, a rather intriguing piece of data was posted. An ASR member @Balle Clorin presented his old FR (frequency response) measurements of various commercial speaker cables. The...

So I ended up buying an amp with two 1/4" audio jacks for headphones balanced connection. I have standard cables for HD6xx and K712 pro with the 1/8" jack plus 1/4" adapter. Kindly advice if there are separate "balanced cables" which I would need to buy separately for these two HP's, or would I...

After James Randi passed away a few years ago, the idea of a $1 million cable challenge vanished with him. Until now! In what can only be surmised as amazing showmanship, Dr. Tist of First Run Copper cables has decided to bring the challenge back, but with a twist. Instead of challenging the...

Hi, I am new to Hi-Fi audio and I have decided to spend some savings and build a mid-range system for LPs. These are the components that I plan to put together (please if you have different suggestions feel free to comment): Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO DALI OBERON 7 Cambridge Audio CXA81...

My current short IEM cable is a DIY affair incorporating these 2-pin connectors by Eidolic (a new Shenzhen hifi mfg?) to re-terminate a stock cable whose IEM-side connectors failed. Turns out the polymer surrounding the pins (called PEEK) has a really high melting point. Usually soldering...
