What model is your particular 0.5m Vampire digital coaxial cable?
Follow Ups:
Its a modified RG 226.
Got it from a surplus satellite uplink for our local phone company. Heavily silver plated, and with silver plated shielding braid.
What is unusual is that the center conductor is in a plastic tube (not teflon) and there is a strand of polyethlene or something similar wound around the center conductor to center it in the tube.
Sounds very good: Similar to the Illuminati D-60. With 75 ohm ends sounds the equivalent if not better (IMHO).
Had it tested once and it was flat out to 2 Ghz. Never seen it listed in any catalog, but the original had mini BNC's stamped with a KS part umber which I assume was WE.
I'd try it out if you'll set me a foot and a half.

I can't remember, it's from the early 2000's has a thick blue cable and RCA's that unscrew somehow. By tomorrow I will take a pic of it and post. Thanks.

Excellent, Awe-d-o-file. I might be able to steer you towards a fine sounding DIY build that's likely affordable.
Cheers, Duster
Here is the old Vampire-ET
That's actually a classic UP-OCC digital coaxial cable made by Neotech. Vampire terminated the cable with entry level brass Vampire Tiffany style rca connectors and marketed it as the Vampire DI-1 digital cable.
A version was previously available (now discontinued) as a Neotech ND021090 cable from Take Five Audio with upgraded copper Vampire Tiffany style rca connectors:

The same version is still available from another seller, but priced substantially higher than Take Five Audio:

You had mentioned you might have a DIY I may want to try. Now that you know what I have do you still think I should try it? Thanks in advance.

Great,I'd like to try that. I'll get the pic up later today.
