Last week I was surfing e-bay and came across an auction for a 0.75m Chord C-Stream Ethernet cable and decided to take a punt and put in a low but reasonable bid. We'll shiver me timbers I won. It arrived 2days later so I plumbed it in between a 4 way switch and my Cyrus StreamX2.

I've always had difficulties hearing differences on digital cable but it definitely improved smoothness and brought out a more musical insight which has left me both gobsmacked and perplexed. How does a short length of CAT7 cable on the end of my home network consisting of approx 20m of CAT6, 2 network switches make any bloody difference, but IT DOES!!!
