wgscott Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I've got some Blue Jeans RCA cables I am not using, as I am now using XLR balanced cables. I can send them to you if you want. Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 Sure - but only if you want to get rid of them. I can get the $25 ones from Amazon or the $5 ones from Amazon - it's a de minimus purchase. Link to comment

lucretius Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Looks like @wgscott has the solution! In any case, I prefer Canare wire with Canare connectors, say LV-61S or LV-77S wire with RCAP-C77 connectors. Any pro audio place that assembles cables and caries Canare will make them for you. (E.g. you can try Cable Solutions or Redco.) Axial 1 mQa is dead! Link to comment

Sfellows331 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Hi Ralf11, May I ask if you want to nudge the sound in a different direction or just want to experiment? A fav of mine is the cardas 'Clear' (US patent # 7, 674, 973). Good continuity. Link to comment

Thinking more about it - maybe an undergrad. in a lab near you has a stereo and would like them? or I can pm you my address... Link to comment

Sometimes it's a humor way, other times it's a young spirit way; it lets our imagination @ random free nonchalance venture. It's a positive, when used sparingly. It's a different way of communicating young @ heart. Sound Matters Link to comment

I've used them at times. They grip and maintain contact well. The best feature is the sliding shield so that the ground connection is made before the center pin. 4est 1 And always keep in mind: Cognitive biases, like seeing optical illusions are a sign of a normally functioning brain. We all have them, it’s nothing to be ashamed about, but it is something that affects our objective evaluation of reality. Link to comment

A fav of mine is the cardas 'Clear' (US patent # 7, 674, 973). Good continuity. The BS surrounding the cable worries me. I use to make my own using a good quality cable (Beldon or similar) and decent RCA's. I like others prefer RCA's where the return/screen connection breaks last. Now I just buy a Blue Jeans or similar for a few quid, say £25 uk tops. lucretius 1 Link to comment
marce Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I should also point out I like 100% low resistance screen, preferably copper braid over foil... A drain wire doesn't go amiss to help keep the dreaded ground loop at bay... Link to comment

Speedskater Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Some suitable coax cables with heavy braided shields: Canare LV-77S Belden 1505F & 1695A Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 True, none of these cables have a foil layer, but I don't have any model number's with foil on-hand. * * * * * * * * * correction: Belden 1505A, 1506A & 1695 have a foil layer.

Why should any 3 foot RCA cables of decent quality, sound different from another decent cable? Do not all good RCA cables sound alike?

Axial Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Basically in theory yes, but measurements can show slight deviations. The pudding is in the music. Sound Matters Link to comment

Assuming the impedance is within reason, it will need corrosion resistance (gold plate) and good contact. The latter may be achieved by split ends. Why are you asking what to get when you already know what you want? 4est and asdf1000 1 1 It all depends upon in what dimension of life one finds themselves living in.
