To stay "on topic" use the cables found in the environment
page! More seriously, cable voodoo is a big deal and one of
the greatest marketing hoaxes ever, unless you really can
see the emperor's new clothes (or hear his 32 kHz
harmonics). BUT
If you're using molded plastic cables, you will hear a big
improvement by moving up to a industry preferred cable
(Mogami, Canare, Gotham etc.)
- molded plugs do not have the shielding extending over the
connection inside the plug like a Neutrik, Alcatel or
Switchcraft plug
- molded plugs use stranded shield which can become twisted
to one side and leave a small section of signal wire
unshielded. Higher end cables have a twisted braid and/or a
double shield with a sheath of conductive plastic.
- do not use regular audio cables for speaker or digital
connections. There are specific cables for these
applications.
- wall warts are the biggest source of noise in a
home/project studio. Make sure that you don't have coils of
cables piled on the wall warts.
I hope this info is helpful.
