Best interconnect between pre-amp and CD player??
Sunnyjim, Here's my 2 cents worth. Try a pair of Mapleshade Excalibur ICs. http://shop.mapleshadestore.com/Clearview-Excalibur-Analog-Ribbon-Interconnects/productinfo/EAIC%2DST/. I found an old pair in a box of cables I had and just for the heck of it, tried them. It was like throwing open the window. Night and day, difference, etc. My system has gone through a couple of permutations and I hadn't used them since I began this hobby years ago. I should have never taken them out. You can read the testimonials on their site and check out what some say here as well. There is a 30 return policy if you don't like them. Just don't use anything to quicken the burn in process. The ones I have use different terminations than the ones they use now. Progress I guess. They look hand made but people don't seem to mind. Hope this helps you hasten your journey so you can sit back and enjoy. All the best, Nonoise |
That plastic bag is like having practically no dielectric at all. Nothing to mess with the signal. If you could hear them in my system you wouldn't knock them and I guess that's the basis for such a remark: you've never heard them. You like Chord ICs because they make them for Naim? How about a former Martin Logan employee who swears by the Mapleshades? You can content yourself to naim dropping as can I but the proof is in the hearing. Does Chord allow a 30 day return policy? This reminds me of when I first posted about the Mapleshade Helix speaker wires all those years ago and the heckling that followed. Then, a few years later others come out with the same formula to rave reviews. Go figure. All the best, Nonoise |
