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.

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.

IC/SC Burn-in is very interesting :) I know the Harmony plugs take considerable time (150hrs plus more) to burn-in.

The other thing that is interesting is if you unplug/unconnect the Harmony plugs then replug/reconnect them. It is best to allow at least an hour for them to settle before they will begin to sound at their best... they are a very high fidelity connector :)

Let us know if there are further improvements to the sound of the ICs :)

An audio buddy of mine has a 500 hr rule that he applies to all high fidelity capacitors, resistors, chipsets, audio transformers, inductors, etc...

That is that high fidelity components take at least 500 hrs to burn in and he interestingly applies the 500 hr rule to the KLEI Harmony RCA plugs!

After your post/experience, maybe he is correct :)
