2out: I have extra pair of Homegrown's that are out on loan right now for evaluation by another member at the site and can give it a try eventually. I am still a little confused as I had assumed that a single digital IC is wired differently to pass right and left channel signals through a single cable. I was told by Pierre at Mapleshade that a digital cable need not be coaxial or 75ohm to achieve excellent results (most are not true 75 ohm cables anyway) and the Mapleshade (micro wire) works well for me running off the coaxial out and inputs. I prefer the Homegrown Super Silver analog IC's in my system and do not seem to be having RFI problems even though I live very close to many radio and television stations in the LA area. Hopefully someone will comment on the use of non digital single cable in this application. If I get a chance (my parents are visiting now) I can try a single Super Silver and just use an extra pair of Harmonic Tech Truthlink's for the analog IC's. I am very familiar with the Truthlinks and should be able to get a grip on how the Homegrown compares to the Mapleshade and Canare digital IC's that I have. Oh, and the Homegrown's will sound even better past the 200 hour point if you are not there yet. They are pretty scary for a pair of $70.00 IC's and are dammed good regardless of the price.
homegrown super silver as a digital cabl
what do you all think of using a length of the h.g. super silver as a digital cable? i'm currently using a length of straightwire laser link 2. it's a loaner and sounds pretty good. i don't think it is a 75ohm (whatever difference that makes) cable, but it is shielded. i don't use a tuner and live in the country so rfi is not a big problem. is a true 75ohm digital cable going to be some magic nirvana? i am currently burning in homegrown's interconnects and love them. they just keep getting better and better. thanks.
