IC's for Electrocompaniet EMC1

Hi,

Finally bought the EMC1 that I was craving for... (the MK1 version....we'll see about the upgrade).

My question is what interconnectors should I use from the EMC1 to my processor (Integra Research RDC-7). I dont want to spend a fortune on the one hand but would like to fully benefit from the EMC1 on the other.

I appreciate any input and/or suggestions (especially from EMC1 owners). If it matters, I am using Transparent Super XL speaker cables and Jmlabs 920.1 as mains in a 50/50 music/HT setup. Thanks for the assistance.

I tried the Nordost quatrro fil, NBS Monitor 0, Synergistics Resolution Ref,Transparent Reference, Acoustic Zen Silver ref and a bunch of others on my EMC 1 over the years and I settled with the Siltech SQ-88B Gold SE. Of course YMMV depending on the rest of your equipments, and another thing I think the EMC 1 sounds better with balanced cables than single ended.
Happy Hunting.

You do not state a budget so I will just list some cables that work very well. Nordost Blue Heaven and Synergistic Phase 1 if you are on a tight budget.

If you are willing to spend more look at Synergistic Phase 2 and Cardas Golden Cross.

If you are willing to spend even more consider Synergistic Designer Reference. A great match with the EMC 1

Purist Audio Design Maximus or Colossus are great.Any Cardas is garbage by comparison,this is not system dependent.PAD Proteus is even better but expensive.

I auditioned a bunch of interconnects with my EMC1 mk2 such as Acoustic Zen Silver, Cardas Golden Reference, Nordost Quatrofill and purchased a pair of Siltech SQ88-B Gold balanced interconnects. Very transparent and pure. More musical than the others I listened to in my system! You must listen to the cables in YOUR system and let your ears decide. Good luck.
