??? Which XLR Interconnect ???
Complete ground up rebuild continues..
System:Speakers-ProAc Response D2D (latest build)...
Speaker cables-Tellurium Q "Black II w/Black II biwire jumpers...
Integrated amplifier-Pathos Classic Remix Mk.II w/Nordost Red Dawn LS power cable...
DAC-Denafrips Pontus 15th.(incoming) with Nordost Blue Heaven LS power cable...
I want to run a true balanced cable from the DAC to the integrated amp & have narrowed it down to the following short list:
Pangea "Premier XL" using solid core Cardas Grade One copper..
Audio Art "IC-3 SE2"using Silver plated OFC & superb Eichmann connectors with Cardas best solder..
Silnote "Morpheus Reference Classic" using solid core pure silver wire...
According to all my A/I research this system should be highly synergistic with an organic,wonderfully balanced sound,yet possessing excellent transparency & detail...
What are your thoughts on which cable will allow the best of the components to come through without mucking up the balance?
Any recommendations I might consider other than my short list?
Thanks much,take care...
@hjdca ive found that once I tried cables using OCC copper the silver coated OFC cables did not perform as well. The sound was distorted. Even regular silver did not have the same dynamic performance as OCC copper. OCC silver was by far the best conductor. Regards

I didn't like the Pangea when I tried them. Audio Art is fabulous, easy to recommend. Have not heard the Silnote you mentioned, some of their others I have heard were competitive for the price though. I would add Veritas Cables to the list. They use OCC copper and silver (sometimes hybrid). Several models at different price points and they are great to deal with. |
