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.

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. |
@jayctoy Big +1, and it’s great that there are more and more reputable direct sellers with generous trial periods ranging from entry level like Pine Tree Audio up to higher-end offerings from Snake River Audio and everything in between that facilitate auditioning almost all levels of cables at home. |
@thesummit, a few years ago during the pandemic, and we all can recall how much fun that was, I was able to take the time to put together a system that gave me the sound signature that I still enjoy to this day. It starts at the wall outlet with an AudioQuest power cable designed by Garth Powell for a AQ Niagara power conditioner that I plug the linear power supplies for my Chord TT2 DAC, Mscaler, and a ROON Nucleus music streamer, into. I picked every interconnect and cable because of their synergy with the components that I use and for their sound quality to my ears only. |
