zer061zer0 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2006 here: http://www.sgheadphones.net/index.php?showtopic=263&hl=89259 by mackie more than 3 years ago...might give you more insight as to how much interconnects can influence your sound... Initially I was considering the 89259 for my home rig as seen below, but assuming it has "sparkling" highs, Im having second thought now since the dt880s tends to be harsher in the treble too...now considering DIM(doing it myself) with either the klotz, OCC copper, or the mroe expensive option of VDH mkii...still on the lookout tho...meanwhile, just try to enjoy what you have so you can better appreciate the differences when you do change any components... hi fongalv, the occ copper u mentioned was it the one from ahfartaudio.com also selling in SLS..? try the silver interconnects lar, keekekeke then after that can also borrow me to try out on my living room system. Was recommended that for my tube amp but not sure whether to try it or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Since RFI/EMI has a greater impact on digital signal quality, aluminium shielding wire is chosen over the less conductive but cheaper copper. hey mackie have u experience with the belden 1694A..?

yotiao 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2006 Hmm, my belden 1694A was purchased from blue jeans cable, I am using it with my DAC, so far very happy with the results, very well-made and sturdy.

From the link fongalv posted, he used the 1694a as a digital connection to his DAC. Here's some googling for you http://www.bluejeanscable.com/store/digital-audio/index.htm Their website always highly recommend the RCAP and Belden 1694A for digital applications.. eg Digital Coaxial if you are using DAC.

zer061zer0 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2006 erm...I hope you know that "using with a dac" means its being used as a DIGITAL coaxial signal cable to link say from source to a DAC, and thus does not mean the same thing as an ANALOG interconnect that either links the source to amp, or dac to amp... just dont wanna confuse anyone who might be reading this...of course you can still use the 1694 as an analog interconnect, but its just not as suitable compared to the other offerings... ok so when u have a DAC, u only use 1 cable thru the coxial output behind the cdp to the DAC then interconnects from the DAC to the amp. Am i right..? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nakedtoes 0 Report post Posted September 15, 2006 I went down to LHS today... Robert mention it is impossible to sqeeze the klotz even to 1.4 plugs.. he recomended Belden 89259 instead.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
