APL 3910 to a Krell KSA 250 What interconnect ???


I am running my APL 3910 modded CD Player direct to my Krell KSA 250.

I need at least a 2 meter RCA cable.

At this time I do not have a 2 meter cable, I am using two 1 meter cables together (Cardas Golden Ref + Acoustic Zen Silver 2) with an RCA coupler. Surprisingly, this combo sounds pretty good, however the upper midrange on certain recordings can be a little hard.

Can anyone share a suggestion as to what cable they may reccommend , considering buying used 2 meter cables is diffucult, so I will probably have to shell out Retail cost?

2m cables (and longer) do come up for sale, and sometimes they take a while to sell, because demand is weak. I think if you are patient you will get a good deal second-hand. As you said, it "sounds pretty good". Hang in there - alternatively, contact Grover Huffmann (via Steve Hoffman's forum) for a very nice pair of his UR i/c's - 2m around $300.

Depending on the speakers, but I had moved away from the traditional MIT to the Kimber Select. Incredible difference. Each move up the Select line is a big jump (sound and $ wise) but even the entry level select is hard to beat. You can find those quite frequently here, and they are easy to move if you do find something at three times the price that you like better.

How about the Shunyata Aries ?
Shunyata makes such great power cords and conditioners.
I don't recall anyone commenting on there interconnects.

I would reccommend a high grade copper cable for a match with Krell, silver tends to be a bit harsher. Better with at least a tube pre-or amp. Maybe AU24, and I believe there is a couple 2 meters for sale here on the gon. Xindak gold wold be good too.

Good luck, and let us know.

Sonic siniture of an interconnect so important, you ought to be careful what to buy. Kimber select - while a great ic - is too warmish (for me in that particular system in which I tested). I would try rscables middle-in-the road silver-palladium ic for about 400 usd for 2 meters. 30 day return policy, so you id dont like, you simply dump on them.
