Interconnects/Cables of your choice, and why?


This can include the following: 

----------------------------------------

- Balanced interconnects 

- RCA interconnects 

- TOSLINK Cables 

- SPDIF (Coax) Cables

- Ethernet Cables 

- USB Cables (USB-A)

- USB Type C (data-line cables)

-  HDMI Cables 

 

I’ll share what I use too, later on. Once this discussion post receives some responses. Let’s talk about cables for knowledge transfer and making the right purchasing decisions. Sometimes it's just fluff, other times it's the real deal.

OP I’ve not heard of any of the cables you’re using.  What’s the rest of the equipment in your system?

@soix 

I'd suggest trying them out. I have found that intent, rather than cost is a stronger determinant of good sound with cables.

May post more later about my system(s). I'd also like to write about them in detail, so that's rather time consuming. We'll see. Your interest is appreciated and happy listening... if you want to chat more about cables; let's talk on this discussion post. 

I may be mistaken, but I suspect the OP was referring to interconnect cable typology and not brands.

Hi Kevin. Thanks for attempting to clarify, so that I could confirm. 

Cable topology and geometry is obviously very important. It could be telling us the brand name/model and/or additional information. Better if we can learn more from eachother.

For example, I have found Neumann RCA cables from the 1960s (mil-spec also) to be very transparent; but John's wire shop is a cut above. 

So many good cables to choose now. Remember expensive cables does not mean they will match your system? Invest your time in auditioning. No shortcut on cables.You have to try them.

The chord company- music speaker cable . Still haven't heard better so they are safe for now.

Usb , Shunyata sigma usb .. same here, still haven't.....

Xlr,  made all of them myself from elec silver wire and untreated cotton tubes neutrik silver connectors . Have heard better but it's a ridiculous amount of money getting there . 

Power cables vary depending upon equipment.
