One question about coax interconnects... if I want to use BNC plugs, does that mean the RCA output-input plugs have to be changed too?

I was hoping BNC plugs would "fit in" RCA plugs anyway xD or is it the other way around? Cables using RCA to fit into BNC plugs... or do both sides need to be BNC

Genius. Pure genius.

First of all, how much do you know about analogue signal transmission? How did you conclude that only digital data is affected by the aforementioned attributes? (inductance and capacitance are key considerations in speaker/headphone/interconnect cable design.. among other things) Have you experimented with cables making a statement as bold (literally ) as that?



I honestly doubt that. Mankind simply hasn't discovered everything yet.

what that test proved was that cables and pre-conceived perceptions don't match, not *necessarily* that differences cannot be heard =P not to mention that when differences were heard ... well better material =/= better sound for each person.

What they should have included was a 4th option: they're all the same! *I'm sure someone else already suggested that on head-fi*

If flac is lossy, we will hear the difference in the form of artifacts, not clipping. Apparently playback from HDDs isn't always a good thing >.>

Its called OCC (ohno continuous cast), people do it for silver too =P how can it be "secret" anyway? Most cable companies don't exactly own entire factories dedicated to producing ultra-pure raw material - they buy large amounts of it from the people who are producing the raw material.

Does anyone know why Cryogenic treatment improves the sound? Even cable freaks aren't going to be so quick to back up this claim. OCC copper isn't THAT expensive btw, and a number of boutique cable makers don't even use bother using OCC copper. More importantly, Empire23 was comparing belden cables of equal purity with so called "high end" offerings, not OFC belden vs OCC copper.



Math and physics can tell you how good/bad a cable is though... its just that certain "objectivists" claim that all cables are the same, yada yada.

What are you going to use that cable for wor? You have a balanced headphone that uses 4 pin XLR but you only have a headphone amp that uses 1/4'' plugs?

Umm.... can I ask for some help from you sifus? My SRM-1 mk2 amp needs to be rewired to work with 117V before I ship to USA, but I can't do it myself (even though I have the instructions). Is anyone willing to help?

Of course I'll also bribe anyone who helps with my AKG K340 and a stax setup (for auditioning only lah) >_>

Actually... why would the cabling business be forced to stop after he goes back? Its not like he has to COD all of the time... pos laju lah

Maybe I should just poslaju my K340 to you for the recable

.... recable SHE-9500 with the 7N UPOCC silver??? siao, even the 24AWG wire costs USD10.50 per meter

.. though when I think about it, it might be interesting to have a pair of ksc-75s with that kind of cable...
