Digital Coaxial Cable 75 ohms choices

Albert Porter, For clarification, is the purist audio single ended digital coaxial cable sound better than the Purist Balanced digital cable ? Many thanks, Ferdinand

Canare is excellent cable and I've tried many of them. Just check out the cable section in Stereophiles recommended components for 1999 or 2000. They rate Canare as good as any digital cable on the market and better than models from Kimber.

I tried Canare as well, but among the others I tried, it sounds a bit grainy compared to Transparent, and Purist Audio. Again, my system is revealing enough to be able to detect the differences in different digital cables.

i agree with redkiwi who is one of the few along with Albert Porter who knows what thier talking about, the canare sits in the closet (for sale 20+) and my D60 far out classes the canare, not even close. The D60 takes forever to settle in.

Ferdinand, in my tests, the single ended Purist edged out the balanced Purist. You must remember though, each transport and D to A converter is different, and this is no assurance that my test is conclusive. As in my posting of 6-15-00, this was the result in my system at that time. It is important to consider the components in your own system above my one example. The results I posted are simply part of the on going discussion to provide an open exchange of information so that we can all compare results. The good news is that you only have to try the two Purist Audio cables, since you agree that they are the best choice. Now the test between the single ended and balanced is a short journey, compared to what you have already been though! Best wishes and luck on your quest for the correct combination.
