View Full Version : Audiokarma Cable Swap Program
RuSsMaN 02-22-2006, 11:18 AM ***SIGN UP NOW***
This program was created to allow members the opportunity to demo cables in their own environment, under their own conditions. We're not selling these cables, and have no direct affiliation with any of these companies, although a couple are active sponsors of Audiokarma. The intention is to remove the bias that is typically generated by a general statement, and allow you to conduct your testing of the programs’ offerings. We don’t care whether you buy anything, but we do think it’s imperative to make your own in-house evaluation, and stop listening only to what you read.
If it makes a difference on YOUR rig, in YOUR home....then it’s beneficial. It may not do anything, or display any change, but don’t you think that YOU should make that determination? It’s true, cable theory is theory....but it has an application in the real world to alot of individuals.
The cables in this program that are modestly priced, and easy to obtain. Common man cables if you will, nothing super esoteric, or unobtainium.
If you are a cable non-believer, then please sign up and test your head. Your opinion is as valuable as the next and is welcome in this program. It doesn’t matter whether you believe in the benefits of upgraded or “high end” cables, it’s just giving you the chance to determine the benefits, or lack thereof, on your own.
We started the program, completely out-of-pocket and with some donations direct from manufacturers; in order to give something back to the forum that consumes us on a daily basis. On the initial interest thread, some balked, some walked and some stepped up and thought it was a good idea. If any members want to step up and donate cables to the program, the more the merrier. That’s what community is all about.
Rules of engagement -> The program works in this fashion….
The program is currently active, so if you wish to participate in a current demo, you simply sign up in THIS thread. You just have to specify what you’re interested in joining, and I will add you to the “roster” below. This is the “sticky” thread, and it will contain the bulk of information regarding this exercise and all updates to the active roster.
The “demo” time period is approximately two (2) weeks from receipt of the cable and/or cables.
The roster contains the names of the current participants, in regards to the individual demos, and the status of the actual demo (e.g.. Completed…Demo…Skipped, etc). The participants are responsible for contacting the next member; when their demo is complete, in order to arrange shipping information.
It is perfectly acceptable to be involved in multiple demos, and we actually encourage members to get involved with as much as is possible. Please get involved, as the forum is interested in your comments and thoughts on this subject.
After you have completed your demo, you are asked to post your review of the cable(s) in the appropriate thread. Please realize that this is one of the most important parts of the program, as it pertains to your actual views on the experience. We will have an individual thread created, for each cable in the program, and have it linked in this thread. Your opinion is valuable, and will not be up for debate, bashing, or argument of any sort.
The demo-completed member should at that point contact the next participant and arrange shipping. This is the only cost you incur in this program, shipping to the next member. I would suggest USPS Priority Mail, but that is entirely up to the parties involved.
Our Canadian members are fully involved and welcomed to this program as well.

If you have any questions as to how this program works or would like to add something, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at: ranchodeaudio@comcast.net
We hope you have a good time checking out some of these cables and we will continue working on getting more for you to try out.

grumpy 02-22-2006, 05:15 PM A possible suggestion is to list how long the power cords and speaker wire are. IC's are usually not as critical. Thanks
Grumpy
doucanoe 02-22-2006, 05:15 PM Hey Russ,
I would like to give the Zebra Cables - Analog IC a trial please
Im making the assumption that they are all 1-meter lengths?
Thanks

luvvinvinyl 02-22-2006, 06:27 PM I'd like to compare the Black Sand Black Max Power Cord with the ZC-PR12 Power cord.
Also the MIT Terminator IC, when my name comes around.
Thanks, Russ for taking this on. Props to you, broham.
240sx4u 02-22-2006, 06:44 PM Alright my curiosity has gotten the best of this situation. I consider my system pretty revealing so I would really like to give these a shot.
Sign me up for demo with the following;
Black Sand Cable - Black Max MKIII Power Cord 6ft- Demo
Zebra Cables - ZC-PR12 Power Cord 6ft- Demo
Whoa, whoda thought I would ever be trying power cords. This idea is fantastic. I have not looked at pricing yet, and won't until the demo is over so my brain is not biased twoard one or the other.
Evan
GaryP 02-22-2006, 09:40 PM Black Sand Cable - Artic Blue MK II Power Cord 6ft- Demo
I'd like to try the above. Please and thank you!
wineslob 02-22-2006, 10:09 PM Zebra IC ( RCA) or speaker (spades/bannana). Min 6 ft on the speaker, meter on the IC is fine.
Negotiableterms 02-23-2006, 02:34 AM Just a suggestion: for ICs, can you specify RCA or XLR for the future (assuming you'll wind up with any XLRs)?
RuSsMaN 02-23-2006, 03:30 AM IC's are all RCA terminated, unless otherwise specified.
Interest in XLR has been noted, and I do have some Digital Coax coming down the pike soon (not listed yet) that are balanced - still working on IC pairs.
Cheers,
Russ
Strawman 02-23-2006, 06:41 AM I'd like to try the Zebra Cables Analog IC's, and Terminator 5 IC's please.
Steve
Holst 02-23-2006, 12:32 PM I would also like to try out the Zebra and Terminator IC's please, and thank you in advance for the opportunity.
GaryP 02-23-2006, 12:54 PM I'm actually currently on a Power Cord Quest.... can I be signed up for two more?
Thank you for your consideration!

phidauex 02-23-2006, 01:51 PM Is it possible to contribute cables to the cable swap program as a donation? When I worked in pro audio (got out of it a few years ago), we made LOTS of interconnects, and had a good method down that we used for live shows, recording, studio playback, etc.
I have quite a number of these interconnects around, and would be happy to contribute a 1m stereo pair to the cable swap. They are made from Canare components and star-quad wire, carefully soldered, with directional shielding. They cost about 10$ a pair in parts. I don't claim that they are super-amazing or anything special, but they might make a good comparison, since it is what is used in the 'pro' world, and are my 'standard' interconnect, built to be durable, reject noise, and be as transparent as possible, while still using inexpensive components (I don't even use tech-flex (!)).
Let me know if that would be acceptable!
Thanks,
Sam

AlleyKat 02-23-2006, 02:02 PM I'm new to this area, having always used 12 guage copper to power my ADS/Braun collection. I just purchased a pair of Vandersteens and now am faced with the prospect of (sorry guys, given the amount of dispute and confusion on the issue) bi-wiring :sigh: Having never dealt with this before (I do understand, I think, how to do it) I'm really not sure of cable choice. Looking at cables costing over $100 gives me concern and the potential for spousal issues! I don't see any 4 conductor cables listed in the trial options. Any reasonably priced recommendations would be sincerely appreciated.
phidauex 02-23-2006, 02:04 PM Read Post #1.
Oop, missed the 'more the merrier' sentence the first time around. :) Email sent to the russman. I know 'diy' cables weren't really the intended use of this, but the hundreds of interconnects we made were identical to the Canare pro cables you can buy at any pro audio outlet. We just made our own because it was so much cheaper. So while they are technically 'diy', they are a standard commercial design, with standard commercial components.
peace,
Sam

You might want to start a new thread about this - I'd think you'd get better responses! :)

RuSsMaN 04-17-2006, 01:59 PM I busted 2 ribs, and have been working on paying Uncle Sam - sorry I haven't been here to give this stuff the attention it needs.
Needless to say, checks have been written, and I'm feeling better. Everyone please PM me, and let me know who has what, so I can update the roster.

For the quantity of stuff floating around the continent for a while, seems like damned few reviews are showing up. What's up with that, folks?
bolly 04-17-2006, 02:21 PM already sent the MIT I/C to lv, and the Zebra I/C to doucanoe. I left feedback regarding the Zebra, wanted to do the same for the MIT... but no review thread exists...
RuSsMaN 05-23-2006, 02:25 PM I'm almost caught up with personal stuff guys. It's GOOD stuff, not worry - I'll get in here soon, and get back to work.

wineslob 09-22-2006, 04:09 PM Lots of Texans here, on AK, including one of the mods for this forum, and no less a luminary than AK's webmaster, Wardsweb, so nobody holds being Texan against anybody. Never thought Texans would whine about it, though. :D
Yes, the person, on the list, immediately above you will post/pm, asking for your shipping address. See HERE (http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showpost.php?p=591724&postcount=1) for where your name is, on the list. Here is the line-up for the IC's you asked to demo:

I sent the IC's to strawman, but I still have the Zebra, and the AQ2 speaker cables.
luvvinvinyl 09-22-2006, 07:39 PM Okie-dokie. Just check the list, in post #1 of this thread, and pm the next person, in line.
Edit: OK, I just checked the lists, and there is nobody waiting for these pieces. Maybe pm Bigerik and Russman, if they don't see these posts.

stuwee 10-18-2006, 02:20 PM Sucker-punched on the wrong side of town again...
For the quantity of stuff floating around the continent for a while, seems like damned few reviews are showing up. What's up with that, folks?
First off I've had busted ribs before, not fun :no: Takes a long time to get better, Take it easy on 'um, I've been getting a handle on the Marantz 2270 pre out to the SAE A202 to the Martin Logans with the Thorens 125 MKII, SME, Grado calling the shots, and the old Toshiba CD player for well...CD's, I've been using what ever cheap connects I had on hand with out even thinkin' something could be better, asmuch as I hate to admit it, my roommate has a better ear than me, so the review will be from two sets (or is it four)? ears should be interesting and, hopefully fun!! :banana:
Peace Craig
Busted ribs - OUCH! Hope you're doing much better ;)
RuSsMaN 11-15-2006, 12:08 AM Erik, do we have any update as to who has what? I need to inventory this stuff, and know where it is so I can update the thread and add new cables.
I think the chaos around here has finally settled down, I have a 1m pair of the Unity interconns to add, and I am SUPPOSED to send SOMEONE the Gomer? cables...I trashed my pm's, and I'm on a new pc now....
Cheers,
Russ

WHERE ARE ALL THE CABLES - WHO HAS WHAT????? I need an inventory of what people have, or who was the last demo something.
Bigerik 12-01-2006, 07:09 PM I agree with Russ on this. We need to know where everything is and where it is going to. Anyone waiting on anything?

Awesome Pete!
I am gonna try to get everything inventoried and figured out over the next couple of days. Will make sure you get put on the list for some real gems.
RuSsMaN 12-11-2006, 11:06 PM I need to get ALL the cables back, and do this a little differently. I still need to hear from SEVERAL people.
Once everything is back in house, we'll restart with an interconnect box, a speaker cable box, a power cord box, etc etc.
I have the Zebra IC's so far, and NOTHING else from the program. PLEASE PM ME WITH WHAT YOU HAVE, and when you plan to 'finish' with your current demo. I have a TON of cables to add, but I'm not going to do it, if they are disappearing.
PLEASE shoot me a quick PM with what you have, and I'll get you an address to ship it to.
Sign me up for some trials, I'll be glad to audition stuff and report back.
