Popular Post sandston Posted May 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2023 I've had the Finnisar FCBG110SD1C05 between my etherregen and opticalrendu for quite some time now. Didnt think to much about it. After reading the above posts I decided to give the Cisco SFP-10G-AOC5M a try. To be honest I was quite shocked at how readily I noticed the difference. The descriptions above are spot on. The Cisco is darker with a decided emphasis and meat in the mids and bass regions. I enjoyed the lush romantic character of the Cisco but in my system I miss life and sparkle that the Finisar brings to the table. I came across a quote from Adrian at AfterDark regarding these two AOC cables. He recommends the Cisco for solid state systems and the Finisar for tube systems. I would say I see his point and would agree. YMMV. I have ordered a pair of the Finisar FTLX1475D3BTL's and some corning glass cable with APC ends to try. This digital tweaking never ceases to amaze me. 1's and 0's my hindquarters. charlesphoto and mikicasellas 2 EtherRegen powered by Sonore UltraCap LPS1.2 -> Optical Cable ->OpticalRendu powered by SGC 50w LPS -> Ghent silver plated ->star quad USB (JSSG360)->Denafrips Hermes DDC -> i2S HDMI (Clocked by Terminator Dac via BNC)->Denafrips Terminator II Dac->Linear Tube Audio Preamplifier->Melody 845M Monoblocks -> Silversmith Fidelium Speaker Cables->Pure Audio Project Trio15 Coaxial Open Baffle Speakers->2X SVS 4000 Subwoofers->All connected to PSAudio P10 Power Plant Link to comment
