recommendation for rca interconnect for deeper bass for dac to preamp


Hi,

I use a synergistic research galileo rca cable from my preamp to the phono but need another rca cable from preamp to digital.  

the combination of my battery preamp and  chord hugo 2 battery dac is incredibly transparent and great PRAT.  I am thinking a rca interconnect between the two that is known for a strong bass (copper?) would be ideal.  I wish I could use the galileo rca for that too but its a pain to keep switching it from phono to digital player and its too pricey to buy another one (especially since play 80 percent vinyl).

Any suggestion for a used rca IC for under 1K used?

thanks

Michael

I kid you not!!!! 1K? LOL 39.00 it will blow your mind, did mine..

Do they work? You tell me.

I’ve used them, I’ve made them, and I still use them..

Yea all cable sounds the same...That is pretty funny..

@oldhvymec Can you elaborate more? I am super interested in your thoughts on this cable.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Their 39.00 USD and some shipping, just order one.. You will be surprised.

If you don't like it is sure is a conversation piece..:-)

You should have seen the look on my buddies face. His Odin II, had a shoot out with Chinese ribbons. That 140.00 cable, was a pure mindblower too the guy who got a 30% discount and still paid, 12K, while WE paid 65 - 200.00 for very VERY good cable.. You have to look and get to know a few folks... They will do anything, (just about) in the name of a sale. 

It has taken from 7 days to 6 weeks for delivery though.. A lot better now..

Happy

This cable is really cool to, I use pure copper eyelets, not spade connectors, and cut the opening with a die grinder.. Solder, seal, armor(option) and cook.. BASS perfect, for mid/bass speaker runs.


Oil?


Actually good bottom to top, perfect for horns. You should hear the older Klipsch with this cable. I’ve NEVER heard better, and heard a LOT worse.. at 100 times the cost.. 100.00 usd vs 10,000.00 usd.
A C note cable beat the pants off Transparent, and MIT. (not hard to do). Easy to match.. A few years back too..

Viborg is tough to beat...
#oldheavymech, Those cables are crazy! I ordered a set I can’t wait to see if there’s a difference.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I was too friggin' nosey NOT to check it out. When I got the silly things 
(I bought two pairs),I took one apart, checked the wire construct, looked at the oil, and tossed it.. I made a pair MY WAY.. :-).
Ground breaking? NO, interesting yes.. Sound wise.. kinda liquid... The sound just slides through the cable.. LOL.. 

Cabling is fun to tinker with, Heavy copper, Heavy bass. The two go hand in hand..

No idea pros and cons. BUT we are an army of TWO..

Do you realize what these weaves and goofy cables cost in any other country.. It cost me 75.00 in labor alone.. I charged myself.. I'm expensive. No cheap western labor here.. Just OLD!!

39.00 how the heck do they do that.. Must make them at the super table.

oldhvymec,

17 awg, and high inductance --- not a great target for a cable, but they sure are purdy!

The oil/tube RCA
A2D, what the heck does oil do? You're all about the science.  Why does it change the wire sound? I drained one and took one out of the silicone cover, all 3 sound different, the oil though... It is really weird.

The speaker IC
The twisty copper conductor, was an  AGon idea, "Use copper tape" is how that started.. 15 years ago and again three years ago.  Then the twist shows up in China.. LOL I think they track AD on the down low...
The money folks are willing to spend, why not?

They are weird looking, that's for sure, No folding either. I didn't measure the bare cable or with ends.. I don't use it, now,  BUT I have.. Great sonics, for round speakers, horns, domes, rings..
Planars/ribbons.. not so much.

It's always copper that comes to the rescue, heavy copper.  What are most of the voice coils wound with? Copper...
I NEVER had a lack of bass, too much.. that's pretty common..

280hz and up planars and ribbons for me.. Who know what they use. :-)

Regards
They are a TINY wire too. I have a 3 wire weave SC silver that was the best. It took a while for me to sort out some of these vendors.. MERCY

BUT the weaves and ribbons.. I would be nuts not to try it.. LOL I just kept my mouth shut for the last 10 years...
My German mechanic buddies are the ones that turned me on to them..

They buy a lot of cabling from china...like ALL of it... Environmentally PTFE is a nightmare to manufacture...Always outsourced...
Vinyl is pretty nasty too..

Regards
I’ve never seen anything like these before. Wild!

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Isn’t that something.. I receiver a shipment. It had a couple pairs, and some ribbons. I’m still waiting on a few thing.. Last order 6 day.
How do they do that for that money? Mine were 34.00 a pair. These guys want business. I wonder what the real cost is, parts, labor, shipping, taxes, tariffs and payola? 12.00 a pair?

I’m waiting on a Russian order now, 15 weeks.
Someone slipped up and didn’t pay the payola.. Crooked bunch..:-)

I’m Cooking as I type. Looks like a spaghetti / ribbon factory.

OP got his bass fixed... All that counts for him/her.. 

I ordered up some isolation products,
4 for 28.00 usd. We'll see.
7 - 22.00 ea. vs 75-150.00 + EACH..
