    Absurdly expensive cable. When I replaced my AQ Vodka with this, I was floored. It's not going back.

    Re: Ethernet Cable Reviews

    I've always wondered what a Shunyata Research ethernet cable if it existed would bring to this category. They have some incredible technology and was always curious if they could apply the same to an ethernet cable.

    Did you mean Synergistic Research? To my knowledge Shunyata doesn't offer any network cables.

    They do have an USB cable. That could be considered network, but they certainly don't have Ethernet cables. Personally, I think if anyone could figure out how an Ethernet cable could improve audio it would be Caelin Gabriel.

    Sure he would make something good.

    Note: Some other great makers like Nordost and Ansuz currently do these very well.
