Interconnects for Rotel.

ShaunP,
I tell you, you can get a set of the Kimber Hero's right now for a song and they are a great little interconnect that you will most likely really enjoy. Some really good deals on used ones here on the Gon right now.

Best,
John

Blue Jeans makes a great product. However, I found their cables + the brightness of the Rotel (I had a 1062 integrated) to be not to my taste. I found happiness with Discovery Signature IC's.

I just put two pairs of Nordost Blue Heavens in my system and they sound great. They are used, but I'm not finding them bright at all, so you might want to try burning them in for a few days before taking them back. System is a Rotel pre and PA and Cambridge CD.

I've tried a few different budget IC's (like Heros, Black Knight's, Cardas 300B's, old Monster Reference A's, Magnet Wire, Signal Cable, to name a few) with my past and present CDP's/dacs, and found the affordable TMC (The Music Cable)White Label's to work best with my current system and for my tastes. Personally, I hate bright sounding systems and many CDP's/DAC's add to bright/edgy sound. I've had these TMC's for 3 years and I keep going back to them after trying others. They won't work for everyone, but they are a "must try" cable. They're extremely stiff, though.

But, as usual, it's all system/listener dependent, and your best bet is to audition a few different types and judge for yourself.

Actually the Red Dawns and Blue Heavens are broken in as when I returned them to my dealer He told me they have been loaned out many time.I just found them a tad to bright with lots of sibilance in voices.The Synergistic Research Kaleidoscope Phase2 interconnects arrived the other day and they did what no other cable has been able to do for my setup.It tamed the sibilance down to almost nothing.It took the lower end and made it clean and powerful while leaving clarity in the upper end.Now when I listen to to rock it is...the only way I can describe it is powerful.And if its jazz or classical every note is smooth ,clear , and flows like butter.Amazing cables.
