In Reply to: 75 ohm Digital cables. posted by Mcmann57 on August 15, 2012 at 16:30:02:
I don't know any manufacturer who sells digital cables by the pair (they're sold as single cables), so I suspect they are not cables made for connecting digital components. If you have a pair because you bought two, then that's a different story.
If they are digital cables, the lumps are probably ferrite cores designed to decrease the amout of RFI radiation from the cable. Some people are OK with that, while others have commented that it has the side affect of changing the cables "sound" for the worse.
Also, RCA connectors pretty much rule out a 75 Ohm cable (you generally need BNC connectors to get within 3% of 75 Ohms).
That said, any cable can be used as a connection between digital components as long as its tip-tip length is ≥ the distance between the two components.
