TQ Black diamond interconnect din

Posted by: wenger2015 on 25 August 2016

I have recently borrowed the TQ Black Diamond din interconnect ( thanks Finkfan), and have been comparing it with my TQ Graphite rca interconnect.

The difference is quite considerable, more detail, more defined separation, and a depth and warmth to the sound.

I am somewhat blown away as I just wasn't expecting it. Reviews have suggested the Graphites can be a little harsh, which I hadn't noticed until having this opportunity to compare.

Proves as everyone says, the need always for a home dem, so thanks again finkfan.

Having just moved house and having to put my xpsdr and new rack upgrades on hold, I'm sorely tempted to treat myself to this more affordable interconnect upgrade.

Has anyone on the forum had opportunity to compare these interconnects?

Has anyone been mad enough to try the Black Diamond USB cable? My streamer is now envying my DAC's interconnect...
There is a limit to my madness. Although my domestic CEO thinks differently especially now that she has heard the second 555PS is coming...

Congratulations on the 2nd 555PS, as I said earlier Happy Days

I do I do indeed use a TQ black diamond USB between my auralic Aries and my chord Hugo. It's very good indeed.

Thank you. This one is a pre-loved non-DR version, to power the nDAC. Should be arriving early next week...

SuperLimina is quite special - to quote from Master Joda 'Afraid you will, yes!'
Eh? Yoda would not say that. He may say 'afraid, you will be' though.

Can we clear up exactly what yoda said....was it vote brexit or not?
