coax cable recommendation?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

hey guys, looking at buying a low priced coax cable. would love to diy or just go for the smart choice of blue jean cable's but i'm in china so i'll have to make do with mainly asian brands.

 

have you guys any experience with canare coax cables? how about Zu silver coated cables? there's also a popular chinese brand called choseal. i don't know if the name rings any bells here.

 

i'm a firm believer that even digital cables impact the sound signature, and have heard so every time i changed them around. so please, no debating on this matter. thank you. 

 

i'd like to know if any of the brands i listed above are acceptable, and if there's any opinion on silver coated copper coax cables that seem to be of favorable material choice for several companies (zu, audioquest... forget the 3rd one heh)

 

silver coated interconnects and speaker wires that i tried on the past did not register positively with me since they were always on a tad bright side. i'm wondering if the same will be noticeable when the material is applied to digital signal or not. 

 

thank you for your inputs.

I've used a silver plated coax cable, i had this 1 here http://www.bettercables.com/digital-coax-silver-serpent.aspx , it replaced a stock cable which did sound a bit hollow/mellow, i think by looking at the spec the stock cable had a tinned copper core, the silver plated cable didn't sound bright to me it just sounded fuller like it was carrying the signal better than the stock tinned copper 1.

I use rca cables made from the canare coax cable with canare connectors these 1's here http://markgrantcables.co.uk/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=43_1&products_id=1 , all rca cables sound the same to me so i can't comment on the canare's sound, but the canare cable is alot more flexable compared to other cables, also the canare connectors seem quite good there not to tight there gonna pull the rca connectors off , but they fit better and tighther than the stock connectors.
