Expensive doesn’t mean it sounds better and I prefer not to know the price ahead of time anyway. I wasn’t aware of the pricing on most of these cables until writing this review. My notes for each cable were written in separate documents over the course of a few months and were joined at the end. These BNC cables were also tested on both Mutec REF10 and SOtM sCLK-OCX10 master clocks (reviews coming). I swapped out power conditioners, DACs, cables, amplifiers, and even speakers. Well, I went ahead and tested these cables on different systems. Some claim cable reviews are rubbish because they’re system dependent. If a grown-ass adult has the cash to blow on a cable and she feels it gives her an eargasm – your opinion doesn’t matter. As to why someone would spend thousands of dollars on a cable – the “Mind Your Own Business” principle works wonders – both in audio and in life. Doing actual listening, experimenting, and swapping gear around for the sake of curiosity – is something else entirely. Others want measurements to somehow quantify emotional response. I’ve received plenty of hate mail and condescending comments from those who love to speculate. My goal was to also explore more affordable and alternative high-end options.Īs you probably know, I’m not one to shy away from cable reviews: The Nordost Valhalla 2 Reference cable used in the Blu Mk.2 review is $3,299 per meter – and you’ll need two. I would trade transparency, resolution, and soundstage for a more accurate hue and a fuller sound. My personal preference prioritizes timbre accuracy, which I would describe as a rawer and less glamorous sound.
I’ve percolated a few cables and came out with an assortment that should cover all palates. I’ve spent the fast few months gathering and experimenting with a large array of digital coaxial cables (more than 25). I was curious myself – so I went on a mission. With a more affordable M Scaler on the horizon, I hope this survey will help those looking to maximize the performance of their digital playback system. These digital products still sound great with stock cables but, as you’ll see, there are huge gains with a better digital cable. With the release of the Chord Electronics Blu Mk.2 and recently announced Chord Electronics Hugo M Scaler, I’ve gotten many inquiries about the best digital BNC cables to use.
