The best optical cable you have found.

hehe you better get used to it Bill

OK, I found out the coax is supposed to 75 ohm and I am using a blue jeans audio cable which is low impedence. Now that I have decided to go with a reasonable coax cable what would you all recommend? I am looking @ Blue Jeans Cable which is a Belden cable terminated with Canare 75 ohm ends and an all Canare 75 OHM coax from Cable Solutions. Comments on these and any others would be appreciated. I am cheap but like good stuff! (Damn it, sometimes I wish I couldn't hear the difference!)

This may be totally wrong but I don't think that there any RCA's with 75ohm impedence. Somebody? Blue Jeans, Canare, Belden is all about the same thing, isn't it? I have Canare myself with RCA's. I have another coaxial, too, and I'm thinking about trying 2 meters of glass (I got a kind of metallic sheen on some high and sharp notes that isn't right) from Parts Express so I am following this topic with interest. Thanks.

I didn't know but the Coaxial cable is supposed to be 75 OHM according to both Blue Jeans and Cable Solutions. Blue Jeans says their stereo RCA is low impedence, which I assume makes it sound different. Of course they are both Canare dealers and Canare has the TRUE 75 Ohm cable end according to them. Thoughts?

nitght clubbing is a no no in this hobby

i think it is, the constant loud bass clears the ears

That's why 'audiophiles' aren't the most popular with girls

hmmm..... i disagree, maybe you should come to australia. had no complaints yet

then again you know what all the say about young aussie men.... haha

I don't really understand how nominal impedance is established, but I will tell you this. If you were to measure the actual resistance of any RCA audio or coaxial interconnect, it would be far, far less than 75 ohms. The ideal cable would have zero Ohms resistance, zero Henrys impedance, and zero Farads capacitance -- that is, unless you wanted the cable to modify the signal in some degree.

Actually I don't. Tell me about it

IBstormin,

you are right. There is a sonic difference between optical cables; I've heard it. Clearly this is down to construction quality. But I know that Blackraven meant no offence, he was just stating his opinion. He contributes a lot to this forum.

Mr. Peabody,

are you still dreaming about those Dynaudio Sapphires?

[dingus]

... I don't think that there any RCA's with 75ohm impedence.

Stereovox. to my ear its only very slightly better than the $15 toslink from the local supermarket.

[basite]

Actually I don't. Tell me about it

yeah, me neither

and you don't have to do the nightclubbing stuff to be be popular with girls

[Mr Peabody]

The Sapphires are definitely still in my memories.

Basite don't you go to school?
