Beware of the cable claiming long burn in period.

Almost all the audio equipment including speaker need burn in time.

But I had bad experience with one digital cable recently.

Some people blew the horn on it and claimed burn in time more than 100 hours.

Out of box it had lot of details but etched.

After 8 weeks (around 200 hours) it got little bit better but its overall performance is not better than other digital cable that I have had.

Now it is too late to return it.

Beware of any cable claiming more than 50 hours of burn in time.

The chance is high that you will waste your time and money.

Ed Sheeran - X



I received this CD from England today.

It sound marvelous with fresh vocal and wide soundstage.

Blackcat Silverstar Mk2 is still connected to Lyngdorf 2170 and it is easy to switch back and forth between Blackcat and Zenwave D4 through remote controller.

Blackcat emphasize sharp focus but it is slightly too hard sounding.

Through Zenwave, his voice sound organic and everything transparent with nice transient.

Zenwave D4 is much better digital cable in my system than Blackcat Silverstar Mk2 .

@prof- "It seems to have gone unnoticed by you that even from my first post I admitted the possibility that the OP was hearing something objectively changing in the cables. And I admitted your conjecture was interesting, and did not claim it to be wrong." OK! "Yet I haven’t seen YOU concede anything I’ve said as being possible - e.g. that it could also be due to perpetual bias etc." Conceded! Anything’s possible, regarding opinions/perceptions, given the spectrum of humanity this issue covers!

Elizabeth, you are in audiophile mid-age.
Clean your records properly, get the same model speaker cables, upgrade the power cords, and you will get a jump in sound quality.
Then you might consider getting better table/arm/cartridge/phono. Then maybe preamp and amps. A lot of work to do.

You can enjoy music without spending more money,

I had been that way from 2013 to July 2018.

After hearing my friend's big horn Western Electric vintage system, I started upgrading my system.

It cost me almost 18k$ but the fortunate thing is that it is almost over.

Please do not repeat the same mistake.

Stay away from other peoples high end audio.
