RE: Ethernet cable upgrade - cereal killer - 11-Feb-2018 I use these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Postta-Gigabit-Network-Ethernet-Shielded-Black/dp/B076FVJ55G/ref=sr_1_7?m=AX41VWIVMLJ8L&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1518357790&sr=1-7 RE: Ethernet cable upgrade - Axel - 11-Feb-2018 (11-Feb-2018, 15:03)cereal killer Wrote: I use these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Postta-Gigabit-Network-Ethernet-Shielded-Black/dp/B076FVJ55G/ref=sr_1_7?m=AX41VWIVMLJ8L&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1518357790&sr=1-7Have you tested these against, for example, Meicord or the very good quality, but not expensive Supra Ethernet Cables? @KIBM, give the Supra cords a try, they are Cat8 and fully shielded, and to my ears sound better than the Meicord.

If I go all Meicord things sound a bit clearer but slightly leaner in bass. All Vodka and the sound has more impact and bass but I would say a touch veiled in the detail department compared to Meicord. I use a mixture. That'll be FLAT CAT 7 cable then: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Postta-Gigabit-Network-Ethernet-Shielded-Black/dp/B076FVJ55G/ref=sr_1_7?m=AX41VWIVMLJ8L&s=merchant-items&ie=UTF8&qid=1518357790&sr=1-7 RE: Ethernet cable upgrade - Axel - 11-Feb-2018 (11-Feb-2018, 15:49)cereal killer Wrote:(22-Jan-2018, 02:39)Axel Wrote:(21-Jan-2018, 17:54)KIBM Wrote: Got a couple of Cat6e Meicords and Cat7 AQ Vodkas.

I myself used to use this type of flat cable, but found great improvements when switching to Meicord and especially with Supra. I think you might be surprised at the difference, and I’d like to hear your verdict. RE: Ethernet cable upgrade - cereal killer - 11-Feb-2018 I'll try get my hands on some, I'd be surprised if there's any difference.... but happy to find an improvement where ever possible. @Axel - Do you use an audiophile grade switch too?

I do however, use an Etalon Ethernet Isolator between the switch and my Devialet master. This provided the biggest hike in sound quality and I can highly recommend it. Try the Supra cables with the chunky metal connectors here: https://www.futureshop.co.uk/brands-category/supra-cables/supra-ethernet-cables#page=1 They do a 60 day money back guarantee, so if you hear no difference, you can return it.

According to your experience, this couldl be the solution, right? Is there anything in the genre but more flexible? RE: Ethernet cable upgrade - Axel - 13-Feb-2018 (12-Feb-2018, 19:04)BoyScout Wrote:Yes, the Supra is more flexible than the Meicord, is Cat8 and is also less expensive. I can thoroughly recommend the Supra and as I’ve said before, if you buy it from Futureshop, you get a 60 day money back deal, so if you don’t like it or don’t hear a difference, you can send it back for a refund.(12-Feb-2018, 05:02)Axel Wrote: https://www.futureshop.co.uk/brands-category/supra-cables/supra-ethernet-cables#page=1 Keep us posted!
