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.

- 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

No worries! Great photos and happy listening. Seems like you invested a lot of time in your set up... it shows and appears to be worth it!

Analog signal cables may make a difference, but cables in general are boring.
