Question RCA interconnect

[plastic penguin]

That's not evidence, that's marketing.

Indeed. I remember years ago when I purchased the Alpha 7 from Richer Sounds, I took in my Pioneer and my old speaker cable, just basic two-core flex had a plastic connector instead of one continuous length, I and the sales person was surprised how good that sounded.

It sounds so antiquated now but it worked well.

Could anyone help me sort out my cables

I did try bi-wiring and couldn't hear any real sonic benefits, just mentioned the extra cost as it's money for old rope.

As we used to say in sales (not hi-fi related): KIS: Keep It Simple.

Again nothing extra worth mentioning when trying bi wiring (the thomann link) since you just use the cable single wire if you don't like it bi wired

Atleast you know you have the cable if you want to go bi amping

Often expensive cable are made with material and in such a way that they do sound different, when you can afford expensive cable you also have an expensive system where you can hear a difference

The above perfectly sums up the message that the likes of Futureshop and Russ Andrews try to instill in people.

....play the "expensive equipment necessary" card....then, when people don't hear a difference....."maybe my gear isn't good enough 🤔".

....people that are often just looking for some honest information.

Russ Andrews, Russ Andrews, don't mention RUSS ANDREWS !!!

What trickers me is when watching hifi videos where some are using power cable, mains on a entry level amp like a nac c316bee or cambridge audio axa 35 that costs several 100 euros, might be the same they test everything with but some do use very expensive cable relative to the cost of an amp or speakers or cdplayer, unless it's what they always use for testing i don't get that

A Youtuber spending more on a cable than the hardware its connecting - like this bloke ?

Got my cable yesterday and it had some noise from the left speaker, now it just sound great, no noise, it has some markings from the strips they used, other than that no complains for the price

From amp too cd

 

[Al ears]

From amp too cd

either, you're unlikely to hear any difference....
Although you may find the ESS9016M2K in the CD60 preferable

 

[WayneKerr]

As Al says. Try both DACs by using both the digital out on the CD60 (digital feed to amp) and RCA out (analogue feed to amp) and compare. Don't go silly expense on cables, basics will do. Doubt there'll be much in it but I reckon the CD60 DAC will sound better... just my opinion.

Come back with your thoughts

Surely you should be connecting your CD player ----> your AMP? You know, that's the way the electrons flow innit

 

[SR-91]

New QEDS Arrived very well made lets plug in and listen didnt break the bank .

So how do these cables compare to your other ones ?
