hate to say it but, cables are a part of your system..
How many people have at least tried Audioquest and not liked the cables?
How many have tried Nordost?......
See the used cable forums. Nordost keeps it's value.
For a reason.
Ok. Here is what I have coming:
Nordost Heimdall 2 Ethernet. 1 meter $700
I'm going to be able to A/B this to a 98 meter CAT5e cable that I terminated. Using JRiver I will be able to swap out the cable during playback and post the ADC tracks here.
I'm giving the Nordost every advantage: I'm using a cable that is 9800% longer, I'm using a cable that is ~220 times less expensive per foot.
I'll post two tracks with no more than 7 changes each. I'll let you know what cable I lead in with for the first 10 seconds and then after that 7 possible changes. Cable will be removed and either swapped or simply removed and plugged back in according to the roll of a dice.
You get 6 out of 7 on both tracks let me know where to donate $100 to a charity of your choosing. You don't get it then you donate $100 to a charity of my choosing.
Am I in any way being unfair to Nordost in this setup?
