Looking to get my first audio setup

I don’t know the stock length of the usb cable

Any rca would work, but go as short as you can and not over 10 feet

Antpage2 · December 30, 2019, 1:57am

they come in red too

MarlFox · December 30, 2019, 1:58am

so get both so the left and right channels match up right.

I use these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A7SGDOG/
I like them a lot, and they aren’t stiff either.

Edit: Just saw that these were linked already, so that counts as double endorsement ^^

fun story on endorsement, Z only ever linked to the red ones so they have way more reviews and are rated much higher then the black ones.

Orishnu · December 30, 2019, 2:22am

Lol but they are the same right? Only difference is the color?

MarlFox · December 30, 2019, 2:28am

well the red one is faster.

it was a ork joke, so no the black one is not faster. if it was yellow it’d have more dakka, green is da bestist, purple is sneaky, and blue is lucky.

Antpage2 · December 30, 2019, 2:32am

no the Black one is fastest

MarlFox · December 30, 2019, 2:34am

yes they are the same only difference is the color

Zaphain · December 30, 2019, 2:38am

The black ones have black or red stripes on the connectors to show you which should be used for left or right. I use the black ones simply because I don’t want the cables behind my equipment to stand out more the dacs/amps themselves : p

Orishnu · December 30, 2019, 2:39am

I mean we’re talking an analog signal…which one is faster is not even a discussion topic …

MarlFox · December 30, 2019, 2:40am

I don’t believe you

Are these worth the price premium? Or only if I get ridiculously into this with super high end hardware?

Zaphain · December 30, 2019, 2:48am

Cables seriously might be the last thing you’d need to worry about, and the answer is no. Even with stuff that costs hundreds, the answer’d be no.

Antpage2 · December 30, 2019, 2:50am

not true. the black one absorbs rays from the sun and transfers the energy to the copper making it faster. the red one repels the suns rays and therefore has no energy to infuse the copper with. despite the fact that most sports cars are painted red. this is a little known fact.

M0N · December 30, 2019, 2:51am

And just like a red sports car, if you own red cables your insurance premium raises

Zaphain · December 30, 2019, 2:51am

Also, with black cables, you can stare into them and sometimes something stares back at you.

Orishnu · December 30, 2019, 2:55am

Thanks. I think it’s nice that they are shorter, so less cable excess hanging around

MarlFox · December 30, 2019, 2:56am

not worth, unless you feel as though people will judge your cable management, in such a way the death penalty is the result.

Orishnu · December 30, 2019, 2:58am

Lmao. I don’t think anyone but me will judge my cable management. Black cables are superior in this regard because they blend in better. I did however spend hours on cable management for my PC I recently built…

Edit: PC building is another passion of mine and if anyone is interested I’ll post pictures and specs for my completed build here
