Like worst connector ever

2018-02-15 12:57:46 UTC  

linum 🤢

2018-02-15 12:57:52 UTC  

those have like a 50 ohm impedance

2018-02-15 12:58:21 UTC  

Ye but they're so rhinnnn

2018-02-15 12:59:09 UTC  

When I buy some erynotic I'll prob think of getting another one

2018-02-15 12:59:30 UTC  

They'd work really well with earbuds

2018-02-15 13:55:27 UTC  

hifiman made some electostats woawh

2018-02-15 13:55:47 UTC  

also 6moons is the worst audio site

2018-02-15 13:57:32 UTC  

like its just so bad

2018-02-15 13:58:59 UTC  

```In short, Shangri-La did create a quasi 'surround' sensation by not only staging well beyond my ears but also strongly behind my skull where one of those kidney-shaped airline pillows would cradle it. Like the famous "the goose is out" Zen koan, the sound was beyond any audible reminders of mechanical artifice, of being squeezed out like toothpaste or funneled through some orifice. It was simply present and huge at that. Once this strangely liberated sensation had settled in like a here-now version of futuristic neural hardwiring, I noticed unusually intense detailing of particularly stringed sounds and struck gongs and singing bowls.```

just get a monster cable

2018-02-15 14:04:59 UTC  

HDMI to mmcx

2018-02-15 14:05:14 UTC  

I mean, he can write while being high. That's something, I guess.

2018-02-15 14:08:59 UTC  

nah u need that dude

2018-02-15 14:09:20 UTC  

```In our experiments with cable types, CAT5e outperformed CAT5 in tonality and staging. The e-type had more foundation in the lower frequencies and more micro detail for better stability of the virtual stage with more depth and width. We've lived happily with that for a long time. Then came Karol with his StavEssence Eloquence and boy how persuasive his cable proved to be. In the home,```

2018-02-15 14:10:00 UTC  

just omg

2018-02-15 14:10:03 UTC  

TFW you don't own any sonically stunning Ethernet cables

2018-02-15 14:10:21 UTC  

```With the generic cable, the diatonic accordion was far less palpable or present. The violin smoothed out while with the Eloquence, the friction of the wax-coated bow hairs was audible. Without it, brass percussion was less brassy and the double bass smaller and less woody. ```

2018-02-15 14:10:46 UTC  

what

2018-02-15 14:10:59 UTC  

huh they gave it a award

2018-02-15 14:11:25 UTC  

Now the question. Do you believe in instant gratification? We do; now. Call us gullible, naive believers or plain nuts. In our system, this cable opened up every single component. Music did not sound like this before.

2018-02-15 14:11:26 UTC  

how do they know it was wax coated

2018-02-15 14:12:30 UTC  

```We've seen how the last yard matters already with a base signal of just 50-60Hz. Now consider Ethernet speeds. For 100Mbit networks, it's up to 80MHz. That 80MHz is almost the frequency at which a 1-metre cable of any sort makes an ideal antenna according to the formula F(MHz) = 300.000.000 (m/s) / length of the antenna in meters * 4. Thus 300.000.000 / 1 *4 = 75MHz; pretty close. If we can filter that signal—which is noise to the rest of our gear—so it won't radiate freely, we end up with a cleaner overall sound```

2018-02-15 14:12:49 UTC  

wat

2018-02-15 14:13:19 UTC  

youd have to have a seriously shitty stremaing device

2018-02-15 14:13:23 UTC  

for the ethernet cable ot make any difference

2018-02-15 14:13:44 UTC  

^

2018-02-15 14:14:25 UTC  

That's always the problem to start with, but damn I like this review.

2018-02-15 14:14:31 UTC  

ye

2018-02-15 14:14:38 UTC  

its jus amazin

2018-02-15 14:15:24 UTC  

Tbh it looks kinda neat though.

2018-02-15 14:18:54 UTC  

hang on

2018-02-15 14:18:56 UTC  

```Contrary to standard CAT5 and 5e cables, Karol designed his to use only two pairs of wires; just the necessary ones [see contacts in next photo - Ed.].
```

2018-02-15 14:19:18 UTC  

lmao wtff

2018-02-15 14:22:38 UTC  

What the fuck

2018-02-15 14:31:03 UTC  

wtf

2018-02-15 14:31:16 UTC  

why doesn't the everything work? oh

2018-02-15 15:35:47 UTC  

oh ethernet only needs 2 pairs
