Copper®Harmony RCA Plug - a new breed

I was contacted by KLE Innovations recently to review their entry level RCA connector (plug).

I have no idea why - Maybe due to a blog that I maintain?

Anyhow - I was a little skeptical that the Copper Harmony RCA Plug could significantly better my existing Silver Bullet RCA's, since they share (i.e. visually) very similar design principals.

So I set about planning a testing strategy based on about 30 tracks that, over the years, I have used for auditioning various audio components, who's purchase I was considering.

Well, I didn't even have to wait for the Copper Harmony RCA Plug to burn-in to realize they are something extremely special.

Anyhow - to cut to the chase - the Copper Harmony RCA Plug delivers an exceptional performance which improved upon details, dynamics, imaging, etc... of the Silver Bullet RCA's that I own.

Now, I have not compared the Copper Harmony RCA Plug directly to RCA's that conform to a more "conventional" RCA design, mainly because my Silver Bullet RCA's had already demonstrated their superiority.

So - the Copper®Harmony RCA Plug resolves to a very high level of performance and it is very very quick - perfect for just about any duty in the realm of audio - including their use on digital cables!

Because of their ability to allow the flow of extremely small "micro details" in an audio signal, I believe they would also be ideally suited for use on those turntables that employ a one piece wiring harness - especially when using moving coil cart's.

So if you are interested in the complete review please go to http://www.image99.net/blog/

If you would like more information from KLE Innovations then use the following

o Website – www.KLEinnovations.com (nearly ready)

o Email - KLEinnovations@clubtelco.com

Please note - I have no affiliation with KLE Innovations and was not paid to participate in the review.

I am just very impressed with what I consider to be a stellar product and feel it would be beneficial to share my experience with the members.

Got the KLE Copper Harmony RCAs with Mogami cable (ground floated at one end) in my home system and they sound great!

I have my older Mogami with Pro-Fi RCAs (still a great sounding cable) for sale here if anyone is interested in a value priced well performing interconnect set:

Sbrownnw - if you think the Copper Haermony are good as an analogue link try them on a digital cable.

They will surprise you :-)

@Williewonka, thanks for the recommendation, but I do not have any digital cables in my audio system (tried to keep everything analog). Only two components with DACs are the Bluray / CD player and my Motorola / Comcast cable box and they are internal and use stereo analog on both. I do have HDMI cables but they carry video only and I use a passive switchbox separate from my audio 2 channel gear.

I hope to upgrade the Rega RCA plugs on my RP6 to the KLE Copper Harmony next.

Oh, the older set of my Mogami cables with the Pro-Fi RCAs sold over the weekend.

Sbrownnw - Yping is suggesting a better RCA, but that really depends on the tone-arm/harness combination...

If you are using the standard Rega Arm without any mods - then go for the Silver Harmony or Pure Harmony

if the internal wiring has been upgraded then go for the Pure harmony or even the Absolute Harmony

For something like the Audiomods Arm - Absolute Harmony - nothing less

But one thing for sure - the improvements will amaze you :-)
