Pre / Power Amp Interconnect Help

[admin_exported]

Hi What Hi Fi Forum Members,

I'm currently using an Arcam CD73T connected to an Arcam A85 Amp, using vdh 102mkiii interconnects. I've recently got a good deal on a used P85 and I'm not sure what to use to connect it to my amp. Should I buy new db102's to match? Should I use the db102's between the cdp and amp and get something else for the amp and power amp. Or even...... vice versa? The possibilities are just too much for me, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi helpmeimdrowning

Yes, using another D102 MK3 makes sense. Also worth considering is Van Den Hul's Integration Hybrid. The Integration Hybrid offers a real step up in performance right across the board from the classic D102 MK3 for not too much extra money. Using the Integration Hybrid between the CD73 and A85 and the D102 MK3 between the A85 and P85 will be ideal.

Btw, the Integration Hybrid is my overall reference interconnect cable and one which i have used now for ten years.

I hope this helps.

Thanks
