Supra Cat 8 Ethernet cable

HI All

I recently purchased a Supra Cat 8 ethernet cable to replace the stock cable to my bluesound node 2i after hearing rave reviews of the Supras.  However, the Supra sounded rather bright and clinical in my system. Plus side it has a lot of details,  sounds very clear and bass prodution was pretty good but just sounded very forward and bright over my stock ethernet cable.   Am using Klipsch 6000 f speakers,  an XTZ power amp and a Freya + preamp.

I have not run in the Supra fully yet, about 7 hours. Will it get better over time? Has anyone who has used Supra to your node 2i felt the same. Or do you have a different opinion? Appreciate your views.

@audioman58  Wow thats a long time for burn in. Am hoping for some smoothening with my Supras now with some burn in as I look for alternatives.

@audphile1  Thanks for sharing. At least there is a ray of hope for me.  Good to hear it worked well in your system. Will run it in since I already bought it.

Been using it for a while. Better than stock cable that came with the computer. No brightness problems.

I would probably blame the speaker more than the cable but that's just me 🤔

Youhave to remember you are only using roughly 5 volts .

you can have your amplifier off ,just put your digital playing on repeat, or if streaming just put a bunch of music on and let play burnin willbe much quicker  this way .
