stream Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Forget my silver interconnect cable topic! Let's just go with the best 1m or 1.5m interconnects under $75. -Jesse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipsch RF7 Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Ill let you know how those interconnects i ordered sound, the ones that are hand made by a guy on Ebay. You cant beat the price for $25 shipped. Also here is another option for you. The Signal cable Analog two interconnect, it is $49.00 for 2 feet Pair Hand Terminated with Ultra High quality Scosche Platinum RCA connectors with Gold plating. You can and additional $5 for each foot extra. http://signalcable.com/analogtwo.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J M O N Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 I recently ran across the Signal Cable interconnects (and other types as well) mentioned by Georg above from an ad on Audiogon. They appear to be at least a decent deal based on the price and the looks of their construction. The reviews I've seen so far are nothing but positve. I plan on giving them a try sometime in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazman Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Go to diycable.com. The Skinny Ones and the Superlative Interconnects are great buys. Klipsch out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stream Posted January 18, 2004 Author Share Posted January 18, 2004 Wow, thanks guys. Decisions, decisions The $50 Cardas I found on audiogon have already sold So now, I'm deciding between the two cables that Georg mentioned, the KnuKonceptz (although you get what you pay for, and $22 just doesn't seem like a lot), Cobalt cables, or possibly some Monster Cable M850i or M950i. I'm leaning toward the Cobalt cables right now. $64.50 for 1m. -Jesse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stream Posted January 18, 2004 Author Share Posted January 18, 2004 Georg, Those Signal Cable Analog Two's sure did get good reviews on the Asylum. They're cheaper than the Cobalt's, too...Hrmm... -Jesse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shockoman Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Also try Blue Jeans Cable. I have a component video set and a digital audio from him. I like them a lot! http://www.bluejeanscable.com Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBryan Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 ICs and speaker wires should be matched with your system to tune in the sound your looking for. If your system tends to be a bit on the warm, woolly or bass-heavy side then silver cables will add detail, speed and neutrality but they will sound too analytical or "tinny" in a less than warm system. On the other hand, cooper cables tend to add a bit of warmth or "fullness" to more analytical systems. Sometimes its best to combine the two types (and there are others) to essentially equalize your system. I'd definitely suggest cooper ICs with non-tubed CD players and SS gear while silver really shines with tube preamps and most SET amps I've tried. Maybe its just direct-heated triodes that truely benefit from silver since I've been using silver ICs with a pr of 2A3 monoblocks recently and like the sound more than cooper. I like the cooper speaker cables over silver with my Khorns but I have no experience beyond the 1 pr of silvers I tried (Alpha Core) so as always, YMMV. Have fun -Bryan PS In my experience, silver wires image better in my system but its just a minor preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBryan Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 What? Nobody here ever heard of Cooper Cable Co.? Of course, COPPER is pretty good too and most everything I said still applies. Sorry 'bout that, -Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deang Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 That cable definitely looks like a great buy. It's basically patterned after the Jon Risch cable, and the same as The Skinny's Jazzman was talking about from www.diycable.com -- Just make sure you can get by with 2 feet. Capacitance: 17.3 PF/FT 95% bare copper braid Jacket: Black tint Teflon Insulation: Foam FEP (Teflon) DC Resistance: 15.0 ohm/M' Velocity of propagation: 78.0 % Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
