Of course not. There are lot's of bad audiophile cables out there.

Thanks Speed. I actually changed my post as I read it adn it didn't sound nice. Sorry if you took it the wrong way. the problem when we discuss digital is that there are too many variables and right now, I bet we can't even understand fully what they all may be. As I've posted in this thread or another one, I've heard the same DAC sound different in two different outlets in my room. I had the Electrican pull two separated dedicated outlets that have individual earth grounds when they built my townhouse. He didn't charge me anything extra, so I thought it would be fun to have. The same DAC sounded a bit different on the dedicated one, the circuit that the lights and other things are on. Using the Niagara conditioner (or whatever Garth calls, it, lol) made a huge difference adn was best on all set ups. It really shined when I put it on one of the dedicated outlets and then put the power amps on the other one without any conditioner.

Again, I don't understand any of it. I also use an EMO medical grade isolator in-between two Wireworld Platinum cat8 ethernet cords for my servers connection to the net (I can also go fully stealth and not have it on the net at all). I noticed a substantial difference doing this compared to no isolation.
 
Well NO.
Only some audiophiles think that.
It's just turntables, loudspeakers, vacuum tubes and components with moving parts (fans, hard-drives & CD players) that need to be concerned with vibrations.

No that is not a fact. YOU MAY NOT BE CONCERNED that does not make everyone not concerned. The internet is full of ONE man surveys . Please don't make generalizations that are not fact based. You have your opinion but you do not speak for the majority. Every show I do and go to I see EVERY single room addressing these issues.
. Every High end manufacturer I am aware of is very concerned with mechanical vibration. CH Precision for example goes to great pains to make sure their products and structural sound and mechanical isolated from vibration.
If a tube product needs isolation why doesn't a solid state Speed? All circuit boards are subject to it.

OK, show me the facts!
Now that some high-tech cell-phones have accelerometers. You can add that into the audio measurements and O-scope traces.

Wow I just did Skater.
There isn't one manufacturer of high end audio products that doesn't address mechanical vibration in their products.
It is evident in amps, pre- amps, transports, speakers, cables etc.
You are just like many on the internet that when you don't agree everyone else is wrong.
What cell phones have to do with this is beyond me. I don't know of any manufacturer that does NOT address this.
I speak from experience not from opinion. I guess these companies are all incorrect and you are right.
I am not trying to argue with you just make a point that it is important and does effect the result. If you don't agree that is your prerogative however not everything can be effectively measured or understood through measurements at least at this time.
 
Actually I asked two well known designers about this topic and they said OF COURSE they address it. They address it in every aspect of their designs. The boards are as mechanically isolated as they are able to get them and they also chose their feed specifically for the cabinet they are using. Different materials etc for their CNC cabinets and different ones for their folded metal/steel plate cabinets. Different resonance I assume. I know that when I change out footers on my amps, DAC and server, there are sound differences.

You just need good ears and a high Rez system to hear things.

How much for the power connector dampening supports?
 
One thing I do appreciate however is how everyone agrees that isolating their components on spikes/racks/stands etc/ improves the sound of the system particularly the focus and clarity of images and then think that laying the wire on the ground where it is then affected by vibration isn't affected by the same vibrations. Mechanical vibration effects all components and that includes wire and cables.

Precisely
And it costs nothing to make such a simple experience as this

I'm going to start selling audiophile worry beads and there will be a bead for every audiophile angst. The worry beads will be a very long string due to all the different audiophile angst that looms out there. Of course the beads will be cryo treated and damped in order to prevent any sort of resonance and to ensure their clarity of thought.

:congrats:...

How much Mark? :lol:
 
I’m looking to obtain one and have it on my someday list, I am not interested if it would do anything to sound, but more so for helping support the power cable coming out the preamp that sits up I’m guessing 4”.

Furutech is a top shelf maker in my book.

I have bought 3 Furutech NCF Booster and 6 Furutech NCF Booster signal.
NCF Booster are with preamplifier, amplifier and DAC.
NCF Booster signal are with speaker cables : 3 by cable.

This is a great improvement in my system.
Sound is more accuracy, more warm, more 3D...

I don't believe it.

I will buy more Furutech NCF Booster.

Difficult to believe me, I know...
I hesitate two years to buy them...Big mistake because big sound with this Furutech Booster...
 
Now, I have them one month ago.
3 per speaker cable, 1 for the preamplifier, 1 for the amplifier and 1 for the home theater preamplifier.

first test :
1 per speaker cable : sound was improved, more accuracy...

second test :
2 per speaker cable : second NCF Booster signal is in the middle of the speaker cable
No change ????
So second NCF Booster signal is just under loudspeaker connectors : sound was improved too..a little more 3D

third test :
1 NCF Booster on the preamplifier : big improvement, sound are clearer and warmer, a little more bass
2 NCF Booster signal per speaker cable

4th test :
1 NCF Booster on the preamplifier
2 NCF Booster signal per speaker cable

+ 1 NCF Booster on the amplifier : vocals are better in place, I can say that with Gospel CD...
The backing vocals are well behind the lead singer and the lead singer is well in the center of the two speakers, which was not the case before.

+ 2 NCF Booster signal per speaker cable just under the amplifie connector

5th test :
3 per speaker cable, 1 for the preamplifier, 1 for the amplifier and 1 for the home theater preamplifier.

For the Hifi, differences are present, we can listen some improvements in all domain, voices seem more naturel, but the big big difference is with the home theater.
On the 4K Bohemian Rhapsody, at the final of the movie, clearly, my friend and me are very surprised. It's not a litte improvement, but a big improvement ! Queen is in the room, voice are very very naturel.

Feels like at the concert, a feeling that I hadn't had before.

Do you believe I am crazy ?
Test them...You don't believe you will listen with this little accessories...

Hope this help !
