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

I have said this ad nauseum: wire is not a tone control. It would be a wonderful world if changing a wire made an improvement in sound quality. Alas ...

I have used plenty of wire since 1976, starting with Disc Washer Gold Ens. Anybody remember those? How about Mitch Cotter's Verion Triaxials? None have made the least difference, regardless of cost! Anybody tells me that wire B blows away wire A is just plain imaging things! It is pathetic to read here of people spending hundreds and thousands on something that has zero effect! Get real people! Spend your bucks on something that has real effect - new speakers!
