Cable Talk Interconnects - 0.5m Lime Green With Silver Plugs - Which One Is It?

[Delboy7]

Hello,

I have a pair of Cable Talk Interconnects which are lime green with silver plugs - They was purchased at ~ £100 for a 0.5m pair but cannot remember if it was the Reference or Broadcast series. It was rated by What Hi-Fi as a five star interconnect.

Cheers

Broadcast if I recall correctly.

The type and version number of the cable should be printed along the side of it. Reference 2's were red, Reference 3's were green. Broadcast 3's won a WHF 5-star award, but they were white. I seem to recall an earlier version of Broadcast maybe being green at some point, so perhaps it depends on the age of the cable. Google to find and check with a company called The Missing Link who bought the remaining Cable Talk stocks when Cable Talk hit the skids; they're still selling what's left, so should know what's what.

Just had a look at them under a light - they are Cable Talk Broadcast 2's, the print on the cables is very faint - had them a few years now.

Definitely Broadcast 2's. I still have mine.

Not going to part with mine - used between DAC and Pre-Amp. About to buy another couple of pairs of Broadcast 3's to run to a pair of Power Amps, would rather keep the interconnects similar.

Cheers

Is this cable any good?

 

[Messiah]

It is a good cable. I believe if memory serves me correctly, that is was reviewed and received 5 stars by WHF.

Yes M8 - I have had mine for a number of years now, when I purchased them they were 5 star rated by What Hifi. As far as I remember they were the top of the range interconnect Cable Talk made at the time and they made a huge difference in the sound quality of my system.

Cheers
