jlingo 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2007 ok, I don't know if it will be helpful, but I was very impressed with CablePro V.2 Reverie Eichmann bullett. the fact that it doesn't add any extra sound color to it but, the cable adds transparency, clarity, soundstage, separation, and air. TaraLabs The One, adds warmth and bottom end. I also have other RCA's that actually add brightness and soundstage. What are you looking for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bushwacker 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2007 You have a couple of options. You could go to Norman Audio to see the MIT Interconnects, Van Dan Hul for the silver hybrid DIY, not their premade ones, I use this cable for a mini to mini and it so far beats all the ic i have tested. However, You have to get the 4 rca jacks, teflex, heat shrink from LHS at Sim Lim Square. I got 15cm for 50. So its up to you if you feel its worth getting Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bushwacker 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2007 With regards to the Van Den Hul cable. Just get the rca jacks and whatever else you need, go to Kingsley on the 4th floor and but like 2 meters of the silver hybrid and they will make for you FOC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

milkpowder 0 Report post Posted November 15, 2007 It really depends how much you'd like to spend. Judging by your gear, I'm thinking you wouldn't mind dropping USD$150-300 on a set of decent cables? There are so many reputable cable companies out there... Nordost, Chord, Transparent, Audioquest, QED, Van den Hul, Cardas, Wyrewizard, PS Audio, Harmonic Technology... gosh I could go on forever All of those companies have cables in the $150-300 price range. Of course, there are also smaller cable maker companies like Signal Cable, Blue Jeans Cable, Better Cables, etc... Get whatever looks good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
