    Which one to try? This will be used on a Rotel RB1090.

    I thank you

    I think its the CSA2.5, the largest conuctor of the Eupen cables.

    Im currently useing one on an RB-1090, but i think a better cable would be more rewarding. Still an improvement over the standard power lead though.

    hmm

    My appologies Eagle, its all obviously complete bollox and a cable cant make any diffewrence what so ever. Spend your money on tictacs and ironbru, much more fullfiling

    Depends...

    I have a Eupen 05/04.
    First tried it on the back of my Meridian 203 DAC, which it did make sound better (IMO).
    After that, I tried it on several Naim integrated, pre and power amps, all of which it made sound slightly worse.
    I've now got in powering my CD5i, which in my opinion, it has helped by eliminating some top end "hash" that my CD player used to kick out. Now sounds glorious.

    When I was a believer in cables, I imagined that the GNLM 05/2.5 worked better than the GNLM 05/04 :D (it's the cheaper one too).

    I too believe the dac 64 was the best digital source I've ever heard too, :D Prehaps Tones could try and see if he can heard a difference between one and an LP 12 also ?

    try wet string

    science can prove that wet string will conduct, so obviously it is good enough for a power lead.
    but all components are exacty the same anyway.................

    On the contrary, an LP12 played through a DAC 64 is an absolute revelation, especially when joined with wet string (as the Duke would have sung

    It don't mean a thing
    If it ain't got that string
    BADA-BADA-BADA-BADA-BADA-BADA-BADA-BADA
    (repr.)
    Oh it doesn't matter what Eupen you got
    You'll dream a difference, but you'll hear it not!
    You think cabelling
    Will make yo' stuff sing?
    HAHA-HAHA-HAHA-HAHA-HAHA-HAHA-HAHA-HAHA!

    And btw, I just wanted to give it a try. I am happy with the sounds coming from my gear, but never hurts especially since it's not a £1000 cable :JOEL:

    Penance's Song

    (with humblest apologies to Neil Diamond)


    I once thought that better sound was fairy tales
    Then for someone else, but not for me
    Couldn't make my sound good
    That's the was it seemed
    Poor performance haunted all my dreams

    Then I Eupen placed
    Now I'm a believer
    Not a trace
    Of doubt in my mind
    It sounds great –ooooh
    Now I'm a believer
    I got the fever, since I tried.

    I thought cords made no diff'rence to anything
    Seemed the more I paid, the less I got
    What's the use of trying?
    Didn't seem to gain
    All my upgrade efforts were in vain

    Then I Eupen placed…

    I know, dear boy, I know, but I await your effort... Suggestion: "The farmer and the cowboy" from "Olkahoma"

    (I'd like to say a word for the cablers...)

    not when it is related to and offering advise to the person asking.
    It seems a few people here lately just want to troll around having a pop at people who believe in certain things.
