Anyone has experience with the Astell & Kern's PEF16 crystal cable 3.5mm interconnect?

I have both the PEF14 and PEF16.

Midrange sounds a little soft and lean.   Treble air and that openness and extension are unrivaled.   If you like bass that is really textured and is presented with the mid-bass REALLY separated from the sub-bass, then this interconnect is perfect for you.

I cut up the PEF13 into 6 equal strands.  Paired it with a Nordost and refashioned and reterminated it into a pair of RCA cables for my Hugo and a custom amp.

The leaner midrange in the stock PEF13 has been corrected by the addition of the Nordost.

Cheers, thanks for the feedback. I already ordered the PEF16 and will be used with my Hugo + Alo Rx + se846
 
As the song goes "im totally addicted to bass"

OMG what a difference the PEF16 interconnect makes, and sound stage is has significantly expanded, bass is well controlled and extended you can even hear it fade in and out with HD jazz recordings.
 
Well worth the money!

These can match the Crystal Cable PEF16, PEF13 for the run of their money.


 
In terms of speed and detail, these RCA interconnects are superbly top class.

Cullen Cable makes awesome power cables and way affordable, too!!!

Has anyone used the Shunyata Research Zitron Python AES/EBU cable before? If so, could you kindly post your impressions.  I personally am wondering what difference it would make if I were to connect my Emotiva ERC-3 CD player to my Yggy with it, without necessarily using Zitron Python cables everywhere else in my system.
 
 
 
I have the same question about anti-cables level 3 reference and cullen AES/EBU cables

Hi, probably noob question, please bear with me.
 
I have two SONY WM LOD cables - one is the Fiio L5 (https://www.amazon.ca/Fiio-L5-Line-Cable-Walkman) which has max 0,1Ω impendace and the Oyaide L25  (http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/chuya-online/item/107124/) which has a "characteristic impendance" of 33Ω and had a much higher price.
 
My question is  - what's the deal with the high impendance LOD cable? What is the advantage of it?

Is it suitable to use a COMPONENT VIDEO CABLE for AUDIO application?

End-to-end cable resistance is one thing and it can be approximated with a typical Digital Multi-meter Ohms scale. The DC value and the audio frequency AC value will be almost the same.
While Radio Frequency Characteristic Impedance is another thing. It doesn't really kick in until above 100 kHz. It can not be measured with a DMM. It has nothing to do with analog audio.
