[QUOTE="zane, post: 813310, member: 540617"] This is old news. We did this little number on SIN better than 2 years ago. A lot of us there, myself included, went crazy and made tons of CAT-5 Interconnects. They were inexpensive and very easy to make. In theory, everything seemed like it would work well. Then we began comparing and testing CAT-5 against other cable types and other cable manufacturers. That's where theory and reality clearly separated. CAT-5 was found inferior over and over again, mainly due to it's higher susceptibility to induced noise than other cables. Dan from Adire Audio has a fairly comprehensive report on the matter on Adire's site: [URL="http://www.adireaudio.com/Files/TechPapers/CarCables.pdf"]http://www.adireaudio.com/Files/TechPapers/CarCables.pdf[/URL] Personally, I'd not waste my time further with a CAT-5 interconnect. There's no real documented benefit to justify using it when clearly there is much better availble. [/QUOTE]
