interconnects non naim amp

Posted by: minime on 16 October 2002

i am trying to find a ic to connect my 3.5/flatcap to a primare30.1 dual mono amp running jm labs electra 905. i have tried various ic's from chord; chrysalis cobra mk1 dnm reson and found that they limit the systems potential. i would be grateful for any advice on din to rca interconnects i could try. has anyone in n west england got a good one they no longer use. any spk cable advice as well cheers.

...don't listen to an SPM. It's considerably better than the Red Dawn...

Just awaiting Bob Neill to come in and tell us about his Valhallas...

Chord Anthems. The DIN/RCA version is actually CHEAPER than the RCA/RCA version - a snip at only 275 British Pounds.

Slightly warmer than the Red Dawn, but in a similar ballpark. Excellent tune, focus, instrument separation, also driving, rhythmic and tuneful bass.

Regards,

Steve.

It's just a pleasure to hear music as it was intended to be heard.

Since they use solid silver, theoretically they should offer superior sonic performance to the other aforementioned options, too.

If only it were that easy. It's not so much what the materials used are, it's how they are utilised. Silver is notorious for being a bit 'brittle sounding' when used as an interconnect or speaker cable, and so it would largely depend upon the context of where the interconnect was used.

As an alternative, have a look at the DNM cables - which are now available factory fitted with the Eichmann RCA Phono plugs and the DNM low-mass DIN plugs - less than £100 and I'd imagine a very good interconnect to boot...
