Long Master/Companion link cable or long speaker cables? - Vadstrup - 17-Nov-2016 Hi all, I was wondering which of the following cable solutions would provide the best sound quality (for a given amount of money invested in cables):
I currently have the first – standard I guess - solution (long speaker cables), but my wife would prefer the latter since a link cable is more “anomymous” – right now one of my Frey cables is crossing a door opening making it very visible! My current system is:
Any thoughts? /Vadstrup RE: Long Master/Companion link cable or long speaker cables? - Peter van der Laarse - 17-Nov-2016 (17-Nov-2016, 17:23)Vadstrup Wrote: Hi all, RE: Long Master/Companion link cable or long speaker cables? - Axel - 17-Nov-2016 (17-Nov-2016, 17:23)Vadstrup Wrote: Hi all,As far as SQ goes, I think a long interconnect and short speaker cables is the way to go. DH Labs cables are a good bet. They're cheaper than most others, but, IMHO, will sound just as good. Long Master/Companion link cable or long speaker cables? - Vadstrup - 19-Nov-2016 Thanks for your inputs! I don't have any problem in selling the Frey cables. And I actually have some short (30 cm) Nordost norse 2 jumpers which can be used as the speaker cables - at least as a start. /Vadstrup RE: Long Master/Companion link cable or long speaker cables? - aerki - 20-Nov-2016 Vadstrup, I haven't made this test, anyhow SQ is absolutely sensitive to M/C cable. This I know for sure. Consequently I would say that the best option is a short M/C interconnect. With the upgrade to 440 Pro, you should get an excellent M/C cable from Devialet (That was the case for my 1000pro upgrade). Keep this one, then you might check your speakercable... RE: Long Master/Companion link cable or long speaker cables? - Axel - 20-Nov-2016 I think I'm right in saying that AES/EBU is a balanced connection and is immune to signal loss in long cable runs.

I would not say immune but it's kind of better than RCA connection. But at its bottom it's a digital connection and many of us have experienced different sounding AES/EBU-Cables. The difference proofs in the more/less Jitter the cable produces. There would be much more Jitter added on a xx-meter-cable. I think that Jitter is the first to get reduced because it bother us more than any other 'distortion'. The added 'Phaseshift of frequencies' that come with longer speaker cables your ears/brain can compensate quiet easier hence I would go with long speaker cables. gui |
