recommendation for best low cost rca interconnect

Grannyring (Bill)

I know you are hesitant to name the, higher priced, ICs which you feel were bested by the Art Audio IC-3s and the Audio Horizons. But, It would help those of us (me) who are pondering and wandering thru the maze of ICs.

thanks

Ok Oldpet,

Audio Art IC-3 as good or bested these. They cost $69. I know some folks will say I am nuts, but I have owned these and have heard with my own ears after break-in.

Tara Labs Air 1
Luminous Audio line - various
Tom Evans Groove Tube
Z Squared Gold Au/Au
Audience AU24
Kimber KS1010
Granite Audio 470 silver IC

The Audio Horizons Transparancy IC's are the best I have ever heard. They are built by Joseph Chow and are out of this world. They surpased these big $$$ cables I have also owned. I mean surpassed. They cost $250 for a one meter RCA. I plan on writing a review when I get a moment.

Kimber Select 1130 - $1400 cable
Jena Labs Symphony - $1100 cable

Oritek X-1 at 130.00 used. I can't believe how good this cable is. I listened to it for one day and sold my Argent Pursang S which cost 1200.00. The bass is out of this world. It falls into the tight fast cable category. The reviewer on www.10audio.com found them to sound better than his Nordost Valhalla. You simply can't go wrong with this cable at it's price of 199.00 per meter new.

You might just end up liking it better than your big buck cables on the rest of your gear too, I did. I've tried a lot of cables over the years and this stuff is the real deal.

art audio ic-3... world perforamce performance at insanely low price

I've rewired my entire system with Petra ICs at $4.95 for a 6-foot pair. Replaced all my megabuck cables; so have some of my friends. Available at www.starlink-dss.com in both two-conductor and three-conductor (component video cable) versions No affiliation, etc. Dave
