May 22, 2019 · Basically I’d love a recommendation for a hdmi type i2s cable that is inexpensive but still a step above your vanilla generic cable. I’m definitely trying to avoid the $300 or more audiophile cables bandied about.

Jul 20, 2024 · Try the purist audio hdmi cable at under $300. I use it and it replaced the over $700 tubulus concentus cable without missing a beat. It does require a couple hundred hours of break-in. A bit bright at first and nicely rounded after break-in.

Apr 2, 2020 · Copper and silver are the best conductors of electricity and the preferred metals for audio cables. 4. Cable signal direction. You might hear this phrase tossed around quite a bit. It’s the notion that a cable has an established signal direction, the direction in which it was initially used, and that this signal direction should not be reversed.

Oct 23, 2015 · Beyond the quality of the cable, which is a given, as these cables and interconnects are awesome quality, James the founder is a great guy. Goes above and beyond even when he does not have to and that means the world in this day of disposable customer care. The cable looks, feels and works just like a top tier cable at a fraction of the cost.

Apr 25, 2024 · The cable I am reviewing here is the 8-wire Cyclone, which Musicteck sells for $1399. A 4-wire version is also available for $899. Cyclone is an OCC copper-based cable that also embeds a silver/ copper core.

Apr 6, 2023 · We are most of us familiar with the Transparent Audio brand. I have had a few of Transparent's cables. They have proven to be a very organic, natural, good-sounding cable to me. A week ago, I got onto Transparent’s site to place an …

Jul 16, 2012 · I run a very detailed system with a Wyred 4 Sound Dac 2, Wyred 4 Sound STI500 and Magnepan 1.7s. The Morrow cables replaced the JW Audio Cryo $10 per foot speaker cables. The Morrows are MUCH BETTER. They do not have any of the very slight harshness I heard with the JW Audio cables and are a little more refined as they should be at 5X the price.

Oct 23, 2017 · I exchanged a standard CAT 7 cable on one leg of the connection with Audioquest's Forest Ethernet cable. There was a small but clearly audible improvement. From the reviews on the Web I conclude that the top cable by Audioquest (Diamond) would give the biggest improvement of all Audioquest Ethernet cables.

Aug 29, 2003 · Just like "burning-in" cables. No one has been able to explain why a cable changes in sound over time from burn-in, but they always do. There are no moving parts in a cable, so it isn't that the cable gets "trained" to sound better over time, like parting your hair to one side for years, then switching it to another direction.
