Cable info


Looking for some suggestions on RCA cables between BlueSound Node 2 and preamp. At the time I’m using Transparent Audio Super MM2. I was looking to upgrade to Transparent Audio Ultra MM2 RCA but if there is something of better quality at a better price point, I’m all ears. Any suggestions???

Depends on your budget.
Node2 is only $500 so would not make sense to spend same again on RCA cables. The nordost heimdal are probably over 1k new and I doubt the node2 dac is any different to the vault2 DAC.
I know the Mytek liberty is about 1k new the Brooklyn about $2200 new so it all depends how far you want to go.
@luvrockin The Node 2 responds very nicely to connecting it with GREAT cables - both power cables and Interconnects-

It also responds well to having cone feet installed underneath - I have mine sitting on a granite tile. I have tried both brass cones and wood cones and they both provide improvements in extremely fine details and imaging

I use cables that I made myself and the improvements in sound quality were amazing.- see these links if interested...

If you are not a DIYer then I recommend cables from KLE Innovations

Their gZero3 Interconnect is excellent and having reviewed a lot of their product line and exchanging many emails with Keith Louie Eichman about his cables and RCA connectors I have no reason to believe his power cables would be less than stellar.Also look at the more recent QFlow3 IC’s

You may notice that the connectors I use on my IC’s and Speaker cables are from KLE Innovations also.

Some may think me CRAZY to outfit the very affordable Node 2 with cables that cost more than the unit itself, but I consider my cables more important than many components, simply because I have found through extensive component auditions, that even the most modest components perform much better with good cables.

My Node 2 now sounds so good I have stopped looking for another device for digital music.

It is very spacious and so dynamic that I consider it is the most realistic reproduction I have encountered.
It presents an exceptional level of micro details that allows it to reproduce the most granular venue acoustics I have ever heard in any system

Great cables allow the Node2 to really strut it’s stuff

FYI: my system components are:
- Node 2
- NAIM 5i MKII integrated amp
- Gershman Acoustics Sonogram speakers
- The DIY Power and Interconnect cables (links above) and my DIY speaker cables

Hope That helps

I pretty much agree with this, and stand by the value in now discontinued Cardas clear light. 
Ebm, thanks for your reply. Have you listened to the Transparent Audio Super MM2’s to compare against the Purist? You say it’s much better, I would assume so. In what ways is it better? Thanks
