need a new IC cable ( rca )
i am in the market for a new IC cable that can either go from preamp to amp or preamp to cd player. i just need one as i already have one pair of Purist Audio Musaeus cable.
I like the Purist Audio as it has a black background, and still lets detail come thru.
needs to be rca .
budget would be $200-400?
no silver
equipment is as follows :
tube preamp
inndersound esl 300 amp
ayre cx7 cd player
I would stay with Purist. But if you can’t wait for a used one to come up I see AZ Matrix II with latest connectors on USAM Probably closest in sound to your Purist and potentially even slightly better than the Museaus. These would be great for the source to pre connection. |
I recently got A mogami cable, w3173, which is bulk cable that is not available via retail due to it's larger guage. Not sure why they don't offer this retail. It is regarded as one of their best audio cables. I found someone to attach RCA connectors. And for about 12 feet on each side it was about $150. I compare this to a cardas clear cable for a couple thousand it was a hell of a lot better. Super clear and did not get in the way of anything. cardas cables I believe are designed to color up the sound which can be nice for some people. But if you have a good preamp you don't need to color up the sound with a cable.
