My new subwoofer I had connected to a cable which I no longer used. It was not a "DIY cable", but brand manufacturers with gold connectors. Nevertheless, could be heard a slight hum near the subwoofer when music was paused. The new Oehlbach cables are already noticeable from a super high-quality impression, it's really thick and the plugs are massive. Unfortunately, it is also stiff, a relocation difficult, so the star deduction. But it is worth a purchase, because with this cable my woofer is now freed from humming.
