Actually I don't hear a difference. I don't think there are any differences either. For those that do hear differences, I think that the act of purchasing one of these things has weighed too heavily on their subconscious so that it would be impossible to not hear a difference unless they were involved in some sort of SBT or DBT. YMMV, but I don't hear a darn thing, but this is only me speaking. I'm curious to send this thing off to see if this GTG hears anything different since I'm no authority on anything.
I see this GTG and my cord as more data, not a definitive yes or not.
We I really don't know, I wish it was so easy to say that you could just get simple cables from Blue Jeans Cable and that would be as good as it gets, I really would be happy if it's as simple as this....
In my rig, between dac and amplifier, I changed from quite expensive single ended kimber cables to simple and cheap balanced canare cables from Blue Jeans cable... I'm 100% sure there's a clear and distinct advantage to the cheaper alternative. Darn if I know what's the difference but it's there. (Since then the kimber's been put to rest)
The only other different thing is then that I take the input to my amp fully balanced instead of single-ended, perhaps that makes a difference. Stereophile and many many others claim there should be no difference using single ended and balanced input on this amp.
There should be no difference but it's there and it's not in my imagination, darn if I know it's measurable or not....
At least it's for sure my opinion that it makes a difference how you cable your system, just don't know how or why?
