Esoteric P-05 - D-05 - anbody use the word sync ??

Hi. Its Manny. The D-60 was about $150, and that probably was too much in the bang for bucks standard, but I just wanted to play safe. The Illuminati cables were very reasonable value when I used them, years ago, as digital audio cables, although they were never a match for, first, the Purist Dominus Rev. B and now the Stealth Varidig Sextets which replaced them between the P-03 and D-03, but simply as a BNC connection they're probably overkill. After all, they're not transmitting audio, just digital timing information. Esoteric (California) said any inexpensive BNC cables would work just as well, but I was too paranoid for that. I would definitely not invest anything more than $150 on this, however.

hello Manny - sorry about the mix up on the name. I agree as all I want to do is transmit a clocking signal and not an audio signal. Like you, I have the PAD 20th Anniversary's between the two pieces, and would be crazy to spend that much again on a non-audio signal cable. I might try the Kimber or the Cardas or see what's used here with BNC connections which could be tough. But what I am hearing you say is that is does make a big difference...then I will find something

Any 75 ohm pro audio BNC-BNC shielded video cable will work perfectly: Belden, Mogami, Canare, etc.

The pros don't care much about six-nines copper and that sort of thing, but are very, very strict about getting impedances right.
