I have to laugh at the post who said he just bought copper and silver from China! Got some news for you. Anything coming out of China that advertises gold silver copper and so on is 75% lead fused into it along with any other garbage they can dump into it. Touch the cables and your binding posts and connectors they will be hot and start to corrode in a few weeks. We have run many of this crap through our flora scope o confirm. They even infuse lead into stainless food processing parts. You get what you pay for and don’t get me started on amazon the home of counterfeit junk!
Better XLR/RCA adapters
I know, I know, that's not audiophile way, but I might have to temporarily use them. I heard that Purist Audio is considered the best by some but they are $500 pair, and I don't want to spend $1k on adapters.
So what should I get? Cardas ? Specifically, I would use XLR cables and the current equipment is all RCA.
