Cable Asylum: Re: Thanks for the review by cfraser

Thanks Sean. Those extra features of the Bolder cable are what made me say "not much worse". The thing about building cables for me is not really a $$ thing, it's just that I like to build things, and will always be building something, so might as well make it something useful (instead of SOME of the things I make)... My 1506A cable looks kinda pretty, the way I dressed it, so naturally it sounds very fine... I'm blasting the full DI/O output through it, so I guess my pre is one that tolerates the higher voltage and still gives very good volume control range.

I haven't done anything "different" with the DI/O yet, except having removed the tube and listened to it in the external sync mode for a few hours. I guess by grounding you mean connecting the DI/O case to the preamp case (in my case, the phono ground terminal)? Or is it directly to the AC supply ground? TIA
