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.

I always had a mix of different brands in my system and was never satisfied. Decided to end the madness and got a full loom of Cardas. Never felt the desire to change since then.

Zenwave cables are very resolving in my system. I really like what they do for the overall presentation. Superb.

Cardas Parsec RCA because I can hear more realism.

Cardas Clear USB because I can hear more realism.

Mogami 2549 XLR at 25' run because I can hear less noise into my active crossover.

- Balanced interconnects - Wireworld Gold Eclipse 8, WW is very neutral and transparent, this was the best I could afford.

 Ethernet Cables -Cat 8 for long runs, final between Switch and Aurender is Revelation Audio Labs-the best I’ve heard that is revealing and not sibilant.

- USB Cables (USB-A)-Audience Front row reserve-it bettered my AQ Diamond and had more fuller body.

Speaker cables-Silversmith Fidelium, my jaw dropped when I heard them.

Power Cables-From Streamer to power amp is all Snake River Audio Signature series. Legacy Speakers are powered by DH Labs Redwave Signature. Switch is powered by Wireworld Silver Electra 7. This had created a dynamic sound, with a broad soundstage and full pleasing sound. 

Clock Cables -Snake River Takashaka neutral, clean and never harsh

I2s Cable -Revelation Audio Labs

I can listen to my system at 75-85 Db for several hours with no fatigue.
