ETHERNET CABLES


When using ethernet for hooking up streaming devices and dacs, what cat level of  ethernet cable should be used. Is there any sonic improvement by going to a  higher dollar cat 7 or 8 cable?

22+ years of experience in the field of computer networking is informing that you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. Show one example of where noise enters the any device in a residential setting via a 10ft ethernet cable, or just fade away.

 

But before you fade away, since you called me naive, maybe you want to do research on how the brain works. There is a whole field of psychology that focuses on this. Here's the definition of confirmation bias: "Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, favor, and recall information in a way that confirms or supports one's prior beliefs or values"

Appeals to authority may work on the audiences you preach to but not with me. Heck, there are even some A'gon regulars who've tried that approach and it didn't work then, either. Some even have better credentials than you and lost the argument. 

That, and you seem to be one who likes to dish it out but can't take it. That doesn't fly so well here as well. And, confirmation bias is nothing new to bandy about like you're some kind of authority on the subject. It works both ways and applies to your  perceptions as well. Ever tried some introspection?

@nonoise  Like I thought, you have no relevant experience or knowledge. 

You could have put up, and you could not, and you continue to make a fool out of yourself by not shutting up.

Again - "Show one example of where noise enters the any device in a residential setting via a 10ft ethernet cable, or just fade away."

... confirmation bias is a huge issue for the untrained. 

Measurementalists enjoy no immunity to confirmation bias; it is no less an issue for them.

@fredrik222 ,

Just as I thought: a lazy authoritarian. The evidence is out there for anyone to see yet you won’t take a look. I’ve been around long enough to know that anything I post or link to will be rejected, outright.

I’ve done it enough times here that I won’t do it anymore. You’ll just flat out reject it due to your confirmation bias. Check out the search engine, above, and take a gander but, as I already said, you’re a lazy authoritarian.

Tell me freddy, are you satisfied with your cable TV picture? It comes approximately the same way as your music. Have you compared it to say, the blu ray equivalent? Is not the blu ray much, much better? (I hope and pray you do or this is one big meaningless waste of time)

Now, do you think that the signal you’re getting is as pristine as from a CDP? Do you think all the extra boxes and cables don’t add something to the mix? You really should look into some kind of deprogramming course.

All the best,
