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.

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.

AudioQuest Anaconda XLR, the only choice.

I have a 1/2 meter Ensemble Dynaflux XLR for sale for $285 that is in like-new condition. Nothing sounds better for the money, or anywhere close to it, with the Electrocompaniet.

Thank you all for the information and the ideas. I have just received my EMC1 and will try to audition certain of the IC's suggested. My only problem is that I am not sure how to do that... How do you get to try IC's in your system (other than buying and selling)? I know that this is what I need to do but frankly I'm not sure how. Any ideas??

Thanks again.
