@ocinn, I haven't tried the Vh. I was thinking of buying a new tube amp and decided to first try tweaking everything from cables, to contacts, to fuses, to outlets. I was intrigued by the Stagers construction, cost, and reviews, so i tried them. I tend to judge audio gizmos by watching my behavior more than my thoughts. What I thought was that they removed congestion. Instruments and voices seemed more separated. My behavior was to never remove them or even A/B them with the previous cable. But I didn't try a bunch of cables. Sorry I can't be more help.
Entry Level Interconnect Reccomendations
Hello all,
I wanted to come here to ask you guys’ advice on some interconnects. This is my system:
Spica TC50 speakers
2x M&K VX-7 II subwoofers
Emotiva XDA-2 digital preamp
Adcom GFA-545 amplifier
Harrison Labs PFMod crossover (soon to be replaced by MiniDSP)
I connect my Emotiva to my crossover via RCA male>male adapter, for the best quality. This means I have only 1 interconnect in my entire system (crossover to the amplifier). I have been using these basic Acoustic Research RCA cables. A friend lent me his Aural Thrills and Tara Labs interconnects and I heard a pretty significant difference when replacing my AR cables with them.
So I now plan to buy my own interconnects, and I wanted to come here for your suggestions. Here are some options I’ve come up with, but feel free to add more:
Cardas Crosslink
Audioquest Diamondback
Audioquest King Cobra (same price as Diamondback right now)
Audioquest Colorado (under $175 right now)
Nordost White Lighting (slightly out of budget, but I can pull it off)
DIY DH Labs Pro Studio
DIY VH Audio Silver Interconnects
Edit: Wireworld Equinox 7
I’d like to keep it under $150USD for 1.0M pair.
Again, if there are any other suitable options, feel free to add them. The above list is just some un-educated guesses I threw out there.
Thanks so much!
