[QUOTE="user 997, post: 1054601, member: 997"] I experienced a similar situation with a Tributaries digital coax cable which is also terminated for 75ohm, but was recommended by HFX Systems to use for stereo analogue audio, though I was a bit wary about the 75ohm and admittedly I also never liked them that much for analogue playback so they kind of ended up in the cupboard. Yesterday experimented with digital coax cable options for a CDP in a friend's audio system and this cable ended up being quite a bit better than the options we tried which was quite a surprise to me. Was also the only 0.5m cable we had where the other were 1.5m which is said to be optimal in terms of signal reflections. Supposedly the 50-75ohm impedance mismatch is too low to be really an issue, but with the above I'm not really sure about it either. [/QUOTE]
