Hello I need to try out some cable options? Why? I have to my greatest shock, discovered that cables do make a difference, with IEMs. In particular, some of the stock cables, provided with budget IEMs i.e KZ, seem to cancel out the bass, leaving a rather tinny response. I have no clue why, but...

I used to be of the camp that felt "A shiny purple HDMI cable costing $500 must be better than this dull black one which I can get for $10" (I live in Singapore, pricing reflects local reality). And then I discovered this forum, and after some experimentation, my thought process was changed. I...

I've searched the forum several different ways and I couldn't really find anything. Do we not have a thread/list of custom cable manufactures somewhere on the site? To be clear I'm not talking about snake oil garbage, I'm talking about companies that uses industry standard cable and connectors...

Hello, this is my first post on the forum (having lurked about on here for a number of years and thank you all for all the highly informative posts!). So a quick preamble: For many years I have happily accepted that aside from build quality there is very little or nothing about audio cables...

I stumbled on a video series by someone ( Reviews by Wave Theory ) who claims to be a Scientist with dual PhD in Physics and STEM. Each video is fairly long and his 4 videos released putting forward his argument are over 140 min in total. If anyone here has watched his videos on the subject...

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...

Found a good store for DIY. https://www.lautsprechershop.de/intro_m_en.htm

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...
