A follow up: Belkin reached out to explain the results we saw with their cable: “Our coax design is that pins 2 5 8 11 and 17 are connected to a common ground shield to create a shield loop – so it would fail a continuity test – but it doesn’t mean that the cable fails. The reason Belkin chose this design is because it creates a shield loop to protect it from interference.”
Could be more useful if you actually shared the link of the excel with us 👎
Edit: you did, but in your forum. Please next time add it directly on the video description so people doesn’t have to google for it.
i love videos where you can’t find which of the cables are actually good.. so it’s time for guessing again bcs this video didn’t help
Can we get an update where you only test cables longer than 20 feet to see which ones actually work?
Audioquest cables definitely need a deeper dive. Would like to see if any difference is noticeable in the data acquired.
