Ethernet cables

@calvinandhobbes,

I think you’re wasting your time by reasoning with @bluemoodriver. This is the guy who is led by science, engineering and objective evidence. I bet his audio system sounds perfect albeit devoid of emotions.

Lou Ottens once said, “I think people mainly hear what they want to hear”.

Haha, of course. I see there's no convincing to be done here.

When you say science, you must mean a Flat Earther type of science.

I found the biggest difference between CAT 6 and 6a,7/8, is the foil grounding between the pairs.
It never hurts to have electrical things grounded.
Actually, it never hurts many things to be grounded -especially in fact.

What I find amazing is that what Bob Stuart and Gordon Rankin say on the topic counts for nought in @bluemoodriver’s world. Stubbornly doctrinaire against better science, init?
Unfortunately a common trait among ‘scientists’ it seems...
Here s another one for you @bluemoodriver: why do you think the filter I was referencing was originally designed? To improve the accuracy of scientific medical instruments! Go figure! But that was obviously done in error because the lab had a fundamental flaw.....

These guys who say Ethernet cables do not make a difference:

1) Typically say nothing makes a difference. Of course other than room treatments and to a certain extent speakers, which of course everyone agrees

2) They have sorry a** systems, if any at all

Here you go, I said it. Harsh but true.

Having said this, using a good Ethernet cable will NOT make your $50 China DAC sound like a $10,000 DAC. Let’s be realistic about the impact of Ethernet cables
