Advice for RCA Interconnect Upgrade?


Hey Guys,

Kinda new here and first time asking for advice.  Thinking about upgrading RCA interconnects between DAC and Int. amp..

Currently using CHORD Clearway 1M.  This is my system:

REGA  Aethos integrated amp. (no XLR )

Jay's Audio CD Transport

Denafrip's Pontus II DAC

SVS Ultra Towers (highly modified)

Silversmith Fidelium speaker cables

Using an app on my iphone, the response has peak db from 4k to 5k.  I would prefer to tame that a bit.

Of course I have power chord and AC line upgrades and such but I hope this is a good starting point for your help.

Thanks,  Lawrence From MI

@ghdprentice +1 on CARDAS CLEAR REFLECTION.

THE GOOD: I upgraded from an all-NORDOST FREY loom to an all-CARDAS CLEAR ICs/ CARDAS CLEAR REFLECTION speaker cables / CLEAR & CLEAR REFLECTION PC’s array….. with a significant step-up in dynamics, slam, and taming of sibilants / digital “”edge”. It was a progressive process as funds permitted : ICs first, then power cords, then the speaker cables. Each step was a further sequential audio performance step-up.

THE NOT-So-GOOD: You may have to open your wallet a bit more if you want to step-up to this model level of CARDAS interconnect cables . $600 bucks even for pre-owned regrettably may not do it.
