The Great Head-Case Cable Debate

Featured Replies

It isn't a real cable debate until someone gets banned garroted with 12-gauge speaker wire.

Also not volunteering.

I can't imagine going back to unwieldy commercial cables. I can wrap my cables around two fingers and they weigh next to nothing.

Yeah, well I can wrap my cables around one finger. And they won't give you cancer like the ones made by that SuckItALO guy. :D

Regarding cables, all I can say is I bought my Heartland Cables RCA's ($30) over a year ago for my first amp, and they've yet to leave my rig. The only reason I'm considering getting a new pair of speaker cables is because I want/need bananas on both ends.

Damn cancerous Neotech wires... :rolleyes:

IsoPath?

Simple. A cable connects two different components, right? Problem is, different components invariably have differing ground potentials. Power up these components and an error current is generated in the ground return path. Since this path is close to the signal conductor, an electrical coupling occurs. Between what? The error current and the audio signal.

Not good. Why? It pollutes the audio signal. Trouble is, this is exactly what happens in every coaxial and twisted pair audio cable we

yeah, thats it.

It sounds like they thought out the dielectric part, at least.

Of course I don't know what the hell any of it means, but it sounds slightly less b.s. encrusted than alot of other cables.

That and they seem to go for neutrality, rather than romance, which is more inline with my thinking.

i took pity and let you out of jail a little early.

Thanks man. Was going through withdrawals.

Much longer and I would have maybe got some work done or had a conversation w/ my wife or something equally horrible.

I just swapped out a 50 cent USB cable for a $50 one. It's definitely moar purpler. Other than that ... hard to say.

But have you actually measured how much moar purpler it is?

You didn't pay $50 for what looks like a SATA cable with USB connectors? :o
