Copper®Harmony RCA Plug - a new breed

I was contacted by KLE Innovations recently to review their entry level RCA connector (plug).

I have no idea why - Maybe due to a blog that I maintain?

Anyhow - I was a little skeptical that the Copper Harmony RCA Plug could significantly better my existing Silver Bullet RCA's, since they share (i.e. visually) very similar design principals.

So I set about planning a testing strategy based on about 30 tracks that, over the years, I have used for auditioning various audio components, who's purchase I was considering.

Well, I didn't even have to wait for the Copper Harmony RCA Plug to burn-in to realize they are something extremely special.

Anyhow - to cut to the chase - the Copper Harmony RCA Plug delivers an exceptional performance which improved upon details, dynamics, imaging, etc... of the Silver Bullet RCA's that I own.

Now, I have not compared the Copper Harmony RCA Plug directly to RCA's that conform to a more "conventional" RCA design, mainly because my Silver Bullet RCA's had already demonstrated their superiority.

So - the Copper®Harmony RCA Plug resolves to a very high level of performance and it is very very quick - perfect for just about any duty in the realm of audio - including their use on digital cables!

Because of their ability to allow the flow of extremely small "micro details" in an audio signal, I believe they would also be ideally suited for use on those turntables that employ a one piece wiring harness - especially when using moving coil cart's.

Please note - I have no affiliation with KLE Innovations and was not paid to participate in the review.

I am just very impressed with what I consider to be a stellar product and feel it would be beneficial to share my experience with the members.

Sbrownnw, can you describe the sound of the KLEI Copper Harmony RCAs with Mogami 2549 wire...

@Yping, I think the Mogami 2549 for unblanaced RCA is a hard cable to beat. Very neutral and lets all the frequencies just flow. Many people like the 2549 and there are rumors that Linn uses this cable for some of their interconnects. And with Mogami used in many of the recording studios today I think it is a great all around cable. With the KLE Copper Harmony RCAs, I got a great soundstage with width and depth never before heard on my system with a nice air and tonality of the piece I was playing.

@Yping, I've seen the Mogami 2549 from PerformanceAudio.com for $.77 / foot.

@Yping / Williewonka, after my KLEI RCA cables broke in I experienced a very wide and tall sound stage. One I have experienced before. It almost seems like some sources are out of phase it is so wide and tall. Have you experienced this?

Thanks!

Sorry, the 3rd to last sentence should read:

One that I have never experienced before on my system.
