Need interconnects for new cd player

Depends on your electronics, speakers and budget. If you use solid state electronics and have some treble glare try Silent audio Apollo C copper RCA interconnects, if you use tubes you might try their Apollo A silver RCA interconnects. Element cable twisted pair is also a good cable at a fair price but I find Silent Audio's have a quieter background. These cables are low priced on auction & audiogon listings and you will have to spend much much more to get better sound. If money is no object try K-works custom made RCA interconnects or check the reviews for Kubala Sosna and other well received high priced offerings.

My standard response is Oritek x-2's.

My standard response is Oritek x-2's.

What others have you compared them with, please. And what is the rest of your system?

You're probably not going to like my response. Basically, I'm all analog. What I did notice at Ori's(Oritek X-2's) house was a lack of stomach or Adam's apple tension that I usually get with digital. My system consists of an Ariston RD110 turntable(with a circa 1992 Linn Sondek, Ekos, nude Archiv, Lingo, Mana table waiting in the wings), Sumiko MMT tonearm, Denon 303(or 304) cartridge sitting on Mapleshade's 2-inch maple, with their footers. My preamp is an RGR(Robert Grodinski's Research). Amplifiers are Nuforce 8.02b's. Speakers are DCM Time-Windows. Cables consist of Signal Cable Silver Resolutions(thanks Plato). Gear sits upon and under Bright Star Audio and Mapleshade stuff. Since I currently use two interconnects(I have an RCA junction box on the turntable and a Fidelity Research transformer.). Between the preamp and amp, I have used Oritek X-1's, Eichmann Express 6, and Elf Audio's Reference(ccc). It is there that the Oritek X-2's kicked rear end. I know that my case is not specific to yours(analog versus digital), but if you look at the Oritek X-1 reviews, you will see most were with digital-and I can easily assure you that the X-2's are in a different league from the X-1's.

I'm buring in a pair of the Auricle Audio cables right now on my DAC to preamp. Out of the box they had the element of detail that Listener57 describes. I have about 40 hours on them and I feel they are still a bit bright, especially on cymbals. Also, these could be too detailed for some people as the music seems to keep coming at you from all directions. A very unique burn-in experience. If these relax a bit they are keepers. Considering the price they might give my Poemias a run for the money.
