value for money interconects

Whats the best value for money interconnects ive got one pair of chord chorus 1 but dont want to spend £100 for another set

 

either the free ones you get in the box, or go to maplins with a tenner.

 

Spot on. Or eBay something pro-audio'ish

 

Oh my golly.......

talk to zanash

get him to send you some on trial

asi've said before on zg i've always had vfm off pete






welcome btw OO

 

Yes try, and if you dont like send em back. Cant be simpler.

 

Ok - I've used Pete's Ag/Au interconnects and found them great. I'm not a fan of freebie interconnects and have tried "pro audio" cable - by all means go for canare / Mogami or whatever Studiospares or Blue Jeans are offering....BUT.... I'd also try, as a start some Kimber cables (available from that great salesman Russ Andrews on a 60 day trial (yes - money back/ no questions asked etc) in your system.
You may be surprised. In fact - I was - give it a go !!

You may try Anti-cables

 

there are two companies thar offer bang for the buck in ICs. They are Homegrown Cables and MAC [ My Audio Cables ] Inexpensive and very affective. These are the first Silver cables IMO that do not sound thin or over detailed. Well worth a try.


rollo

 

I had some Homegrown speaker cable - very nice, braided construction a bit like Kimber 8TC.

 

Good advice. Be careful of those seemingly bearing gifts.

 

I would recommend whole heartedly a very impressive pair of VDH 1st Ultimate Ics on ebay 1 metre, yellow, working well, nice sound, no connection to the seller....other than theyre mine!

 

DNM Reson interconnects are great IMHO. Years ago it was the first cable i heard that made an improved difference.

 

sorry, maplins is indeed 14.99 not £10.

seconded, errm or thirded

Could also try Cambridge Audio Pacific, I like it.

 

as several people have said ....pm me

 

14.99 for the fancy RCAs, Maplin's gold plated phonos are about a tenner and their plain ones in-store are less, maybe a fiver.

I compared two similar £1k DACs back-to-back, one using £500 Nordost i/c and one w/ a £5 Maplin (cos I'm cheapskate). The Maplin-connected DAC was unanimously the winner, which isn't to rubbish the Nordosts but equally don't assume a cheap i/c will hurt your system's performance.

For £5 of fun pick up the cheapest Maplins and compare against the new i/c you chose.

On the other hand you could go to Maplins rather than buying of an internet salesman plying his trade through forums. Chord interconnects have a resale value.

 

don't be like that - there is at least another person on here who is far, far worse.... especially when someone asks about dacs, accoustics etc...

 

I quite like the Canare LV61S with Canare plugs at the moment.
