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

Don’t go crazy, there only cables.

having some silver in the wire does boost the highs and sparkle a wee bit, compared to just above average cabling 

those Groneberg rca’s are quite nice, as well. 
 

I now use average Belden shielded rca ‘s from amp to preamp, they remedied the radio station tower 1.5 miles from my house, where as the audioquest did not. 
 

 There are a lot of 10$ words for cables, don’t get sucked in to spending too much $

 

try those Groneberg rca’s, they are shielded very well' and are a good snuggish fit on the pre and amp. 
 

I like those cables, I also like my audioquest balanced pair. Haven’t used in a while. 
 

anyway, get those cables home and use one on right Ch one on the left ch. , and switch back and forth for audible differences. 
 

enjoy the auditions
