| Talk to me about CAT 6 in wall cable @daveyf Don’t be surprised by the higher cost difference between Cat 6 and Cat 6a. Most music infrastructure devices will never use the full speed capabilities of 10G with Cat 6a cable. I’d be surprised if they even use 100 MB. I work in IT and... | |
| Talk to me about CAT 6 in wall cable Speaking of hard to replace, I’m having a new home built. The builder only uses cat6 cable for ethernet but here’s the rub, they do not allow any subcontractors, other than their own prior to drywall, to run cable plus I even gave them a detailed... | |
| Talk to me about CAT 6 in wall cable Understand the bandwidth and speed capabilities of each cable type. https://www.cablify.ca/speeds-of-cat5e-cat6-cat6a-cat7-and-cat8-cables-compared/ One more tidbit, if your going to use PoE++ or PoE+++ then cat6a might be better. PoE means Powe... | |
| He Who Hesitates… I'm not a cable denier but at > $1900, I can't imagine how it would make that much of a a significant increase in SQ at that price, so I'd pass! If you have the money, it's your choice. | |
| 2026 best deal in audiophile class D stereo amp? Take a look at Buckeye Hypex or PURIFI class D amps at very reasonable pricing. I have a Hypex NCx500 3-Channel amp which has a lot of power, dead silent, and very accurate. They drive Arendal 1528 speaker models. The cases are not going to win ... | |
| Was anyone else caught out by this? My wife uses it everyday. As Andy Devine, Andy's Gang, would say, "Plunk your magic twanger froggy!". | |
| Advice on a good Digital Coax Cable to run between my Transport and DAC? Since my DDC (Pi2Design) and DAC (Chord Qutest) both have BNC S/PDIF connections, I built my own using VH Audio Pulsar AG coax crimped with Trompeter UPL2000-D(1, 7, or 24) BNC connectors. You can use BNC to RCA adapters but you won't maintain a ... | |

| Sonically -Cardas the difference between the CLEAR Loudspeaker cable ,and CLEAR BEYOND Has anyone compared Pangea Audio’s, SE RCA’s and XL XLR’s which use Cardas grade one copper, to any of the Cardas models? If yes, how did they compare? | |

| We Need To Talk About Ones And Zeroes What are digital signals? They're really not 0's and 1's. They're nothing more than an analog representation, voltage differences, of a 1 and a 0. Any significant change in the voltages impacts what the voltages represent, let alone their timing... | |
| DDC or Better Streamer? This is just a suggestion. Take a look at Pi 2 Design's Pi2AES or Mercury streamer/DDC's. See review below. https://goldensound.audio/2022/06/03/pi2design-mercury-streamer-server-measurements/ | |
| Amps.. Is Odyssey worth it? I’ve had my Khartago mono blocks for 15 years and they still sound great. | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers Yes, bits are perfect but the timing of their arrival at the DAC isn't. It's mostly about being in the right place at the right time as our ears are very sensitive to the timing. |
