I recently reviewed the Rega Brio 3 integrated for Positive Feedback (http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue28/rega_brio.htm) and Rega's U.S. distributor, The Sound Organisation, sent along some Chord Company wire. Excellent stuff...I couldn't pick out any obvious shortcomings or colorations when using it. Might be worth a look. And don't forget...though they're not as widely used, Rega makes interconnects and speaker cable of their own.
Cable Pairing for my setup
Running Canadian speakers on British power. Needed to save on speakers so I went with Paradigm Studio20s for my small listening room. Rega powers the system with a Brio attached to my Planet CD player.
I was using Vandenhul Hybrid cables and found them to be very nice but a little touchy on the high end with songs that have brass and alot of cymbal use in them.
Anyone have an idea of a good set of cables to tone down the highs without losing detail and mid-bass?
Ive just recently bought a run of SPEC Mil plated wire. Silver plated OFC copper with teflon sheilding. Then coated in kapton, being a twisted pair they are then shielded again outside the cables with silverplated copper mesh.
These cables are available on ebay and ive heard good things. I have yet to terminate or even recieve these cables to test. Im not sure how easy it is to terminate yourself so i may have to have my local guy do it at 40 bux a run plus connectors :S
Any ideas? Suggestions? Instructions on DIY termination? I know how to solder and stuff but i hear solderless is better. who knows sometimes i just get so overwhelmed with all these rules of thumb.
cheers
