Interconnects for Rotel.

System is Rotel 1069 pre/1075 amp/rcd-1072 cdp and B&W 683's mains.Looking for a reasonably priced set of interconnects for cdp to pre/amp.Currently all interconnects are monoprice.I have a set of Monster interconnects and while they do sound good I notice that voices seem to be further in the background than with the monoprice cables but the monoprice are very bright.The Monster ones are really nice if there was no voices.Any suggestions..looking for detailed and not bright.Thanks.

BlueJeans Cable makes a hi-value ic. The choice of several different Belden wires doesn't hurt, either. I use all LC-1 except for the sub, which uses another beldon formula. The CD to amp is Mogami balanced, a Guitar Store find.

Ask 10 people and get 10 responses. Transparent is detailed and not bright. They've got wire at all price levels. Buy used.

I brought home a set of Nordost Red Dawns and a set of Nordost Blue Heavens to demo yesterday from my local dealer.The Red Dawns are very accurate but just a tad to bright for me.And the Blue Heavens which are not broke in yet are way to bright.Both are very detailed and if they were not so bright could of been a winner.So the search goes on.Thanks for all the input so far.

Hi Shaun - conventional wisdom is to use van den Hul interconnects( 1st Ultimate or D102 III) with Rotel electronics. For whatever reason, these cables seem to have good synergy with this equipment. Good Luck!
