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.

Single ended interconnects between my dac to preamp and preamp to amp are Black Cat Silverstar 88. Unfortunately, they are no longer available.

Silversmith Audio Fidelium speaker cables. 

Acoustic Zen mc2 digital coaxial cable. 

Graham Slee CuSat50 interconnect elsewhere. 

Just bought a Veritas Optimus 50 hdmi/I2s cable.  So far, it's sounding quite good. 

I like silver.

Audioquest Wel speaker and interconnects.

Zenwave D4 interconnects and Coax

Power AQ Dragons and SRA Signature

Ethernet Amazon essentials

- Balanced interconnects - Nordost Tyr 2 nice balance of air, details, and relaxed presentation 

- RCA interconnects - can’t use RCAs with my amp

- TOSLINK Cables - N/A

- SPDIF (Coax) Cables - N/A

- Ethernet Cables - Wireworld Starlight 10 Twinax and Audience Hidden Treasure have a full fleshed out sound while remaining laid back and realistic 

- USB Cables (USB-A) - N/A

- USB Type C (data-line cables) - N/A

-  HDMI Cables - amazon basics - TV sound is not as critical to me
