Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit

It is an intresting read though.I will try somethimg else.I tend to agree with the 75ohm theory becuase I am at present using CANARE 75ohm cable and it's just ok ,but not as revealing as I know it could be.

I have been on a cable quest of late and have a variety of cables coming and on hand so I will be able to give a fair eval of how my system will jive with the OTA's,but if It only works well in my system as speaker cable I will be happy.If it works well as a replacement of all cables excluding the Digital cable I will be overjoyed!

Synergy is a big issue with me after getting out of the reciever stage in my life many moons ago and becoming a more critical listener.

Thanks for the reply!

Where did you "get lucky"? I gotta get some of this stuff. I am not very excited about using it as an interconnect unless I can solder it to my RCA jacks. I am not keen on using Delrin, or any plastic in my system at all. Just as the EnjoyTheMusic interview says, I am in the camp that says we can't kill resonance. My entire system is built around this idea, and I have nothing in my system that dampens at all. I am not about to ADD plastic. Plastic will make vibration bounce back into the component and thereby making it harder for the vibration to drain properly.

Anyway, I do want to try some. What's the best place to get it?

Thx!

Excellent cable!I just hooked it up and ran a few of my test recordings and it works just fine for me.

I only ran into 1 snag which I have not figured out yet and that is I could not get my CDP to work using the OTA.Will have to try something else to see why that is.

The best thing I can say is that the innerdetails shine on through at low vols. which is something I have been waiting for in a cable.The recording I use has chimes at the beginning and it always bugged me that I would have to turn the Vol. up in order to hear them.Not the case now.

I have heard that OTA a similar in design to Kimber Select and I do not have any ,but I can believe it.Vocals ,soundstage and Bass are phenomenal

Another issue that was critical was the Capacitance of the Cable.I am using a Passive Preamp.Out of the batch of cables I have and knowing that the Canare is around 20pfd this cable is alot better.

Thanks again for this thread as I just happend to get this cable due to another person having synergy issues using a SET amp with highly efficient speakers.I do not know why ,but his lost and my gain I guess!

Abex,
Regarding your CDP, some female RCA's only have one or 2 contacts for the male RCA's pin.Try rotating and reinserting the OTA connector in a few different orientations just to make sure that isn't the problem.

I agree with Dekay on his last statement. I am using Alpha Core silver micropurls as digital cables. And, these are the best digital cables I've heard so far.
