Sorry this may well have been answered before and as such it is going over old ground for this I apologise . I have reached a stage in my life were I am retired and on a fixed quite low monthly income and major purchases of kit is now just for dreams of the lottery win . So and yes I know this can be just as expensive but that it the reason for this question .
BNC - BNC Digital cables for taking the digital signal from a player to another unit . What is the best sounding and sensible cable that is currently able to be bought ready made ?
BNC - BNC Digital Clock cable for taking the 10Hz clock signal from external clock to reclocker / DDC etc . Now it should be that both cables would be the same but I do not think it is correct as they are doing different jobs and need different strenghts to enhance their musical quality .
Please do not offer any cable over the £100 mark as for me at least that is the top level I want to go to and I will most likely not be getting any chance to hear the cable before buying it . All comments welcome even if they are that this is just not possible as it is all system dependant which is quite possibly a truth as well .

Digital cables carrying what? S/PDIF at 75 ohms? It's important to be specific. Belden 4694R 75 ohm is pretty good for S/PDIF and inexpensive.
As for clock cables at 10MHz (not 10Hz), again they come as 50 ohm or 75 ohm. The best 50 ohm cable I know that won't break the bank is Harmonic Technology Digital Copper III. More affordable would be LMR-400, but it's very stiff.

Just watch the shipping costs! TBH lt's worth paying, even if shipping is higher.l can't vouch for the mega cables, but what l can say, myself and other forum members have tested many different types of cables, and TFLEX 405 seems to be a universal favourite, myself l've tried 5 or 6 different types of Coax,Multiflex 141 was my favourite, then Tony suggested TFLEX 405, and he was bang on the money. Naturally, you may enjoy going down the trying different cables route, l did, but if you want to take the short cut, then purchase once. |
