![]() Then how can such a cable give a difference or even an improvement? Well, this doesn’t have to involve the signal transfer itself – ones and zeros remain the same in any kind of cable – but the sound can be altered and even improved by the construction of the cable. Let’s start with the most controversial cable design: a digital cable only sends ones and zeros. Here you’ll find more information, details and a small review of the different Supra cables I’ve used in my former budget system: Supra Toslink After a couple of blind A/B tests with friends as well as non-blind comparisons, these cables soon proved to be different, a difference not subtle but distinct. More information about this brand can be found in this short film about the brand:Īlthough Supra was merely my first step into a more optimal wiring of my setup (my current reference is love cable – a comprehensive article about this brand will follow later) and although my equipment in those days was not at all system matched – with very basic & budget components – the differences with regular cables were noticeable. Their cable designs, apart from domestic use, are also utilised in industrial and commercial installations across the globe. Supra is the brand name of Jenving Technology, a Swedish company that was founded more than 30 years ago by former Ericsson engineer Tommy Jenving and has grown into an internationally recognised brand ever since. Supra is developed and fabricated in Sweden and provide a wide range of cables with an excellent price/quality ratio. I went to the nearest high end audio store, bought about the best price/quality ratio (budget friendly) cables on the market and put them to the test. ![]() With this discovery of course questions arise: who in gods name would spend that amount of money on a cable? Is a cable not merely a conductor which transports the signal from point A to point B? How could such a cable give the improvements that so many reviewers and users seem to experience? Do cables really make a difference, or is this just one big HOAX? Are all those audiophiles not just plain deaf? Or are they the victim of psycho-acoustic variables?Īll these questions – back then, when I was starting this audio adventure – could only be answered in one way. A cable which costs a thousand dollars per meter seems a normal investment for the die-hard audiophile, and still subject for improvement. When you read a cable review on the internet, you see prices that make your head spin. ![]() These aftermarket cables are claimed to give better results than the cables you bought for peanuts in the electronica shop around the corner. When you are walking the path of high end audio reproduction, sooner or later you come across “high end cables”.
