Tír Na HiFi

I am currently using a hand me down borrowed PPang tzun cable as the length works better with the dac( can position it more solidly especially as I have run down the battery on occasion. I might keep it!

I like the elijah but will need to go back and try again to refresh the memory. Honestly for me the direct connectors way back when I used 1 and 2 laptops was as good if not better than most cables I heard(mainly basic hifi ones like wireworld). To me most of these cables sound more or less the same I haven't heard an amazing improvement using any of them.

BTW it is the copper one I have.

Others have reported big changes I would be lying if I said I heard anything massive. Maybe I need to revisit all these cables as I have made a lot of changes over the last year.

My tuppence worth would be battery/linear supply/MQn/2012R2 optimized and fanless pc gets you 90% there. The cables/emi paper etc is the final 10%. The hardest part for me anyway to detect noticeable differences

i like the short silver elijah audio cable, but in saying that id get it difficult to pay the money for it,
i havent heard the copper version, but generally find copper to be less detailed and a little boomy

That sounds very like something Bertie Ahern advised during the boom years.

You heard the copper version in my place umpteen times

Is boomy not a technical term?

well distorted/exaggerated not as tight as id like it

Miachel (Elijah) wrote me that he preferred the copper one himself in his system, but noted that others preferred the silver.

I choose the copper for the reasons outlined by Michael about harshness using silver. The only issue with the cable is its short length which is fine for a dac like the ciunas but I wouldn't be connecting a Lampizator to it.

It certainly didnt detract from the sound for me and when you realise that we did testing with Nigle using silver cable and me using the elijah audio and his sounded mellower. The motherboard was picked out as likely reason at the time.

Oopps that's embarrassing I thought that was the USB a b adapter you were using

That cable is not boomy then so

Suppose a try before you buy is always best
