Cable suggestion for CJ preamp. Help please .

Lower capacitance in interconnects is always desirable, and most decent cables that are not coaxial have reasonably low capacitance. Achieving really low capacitance is a challenge however.

Some special constructions do aim for very low capacitance, like the DIY method Chris VenHaus published. Connectors vary in capacitance too.

If you wanted the capacitance to be as low as possible I'd be looking at Keith Eichmann's Bullet Plugs and fine gauge silver parallel-braided around a Teflon or cotton core. The architecture of this design (Chris VH) does produce very low capacitance.

I auditioned cables for more than three months from http://www.fatwyre.com.

I ended up trying and buying the the Sonoran Platueau cables. Tom or Robert can help you at their website http://www.audiopoints.com. I have been using their Sonoran Plateau interconnects, digital, speaker and power cords for almost a year and a half now.

Since I have an insane stereophile addiction, I've been through three equipment upgrades (including a C-J DAC) during the last year and a half, and these cables seem to be completely unaffected.

In fact, the cables, Audiopoints and their Sistrum stand are completely out of mind when I think about my next upgrade. I'm that content with them, and I went through auditioning interconnects up to $1500.00 a pair.

I believe it's in the shielding, because you can even lay the cables on top of each other and it doesn't matter. They're about $500.00 a pair, and I believe that they're so much better than the Acoustic Zen Silver Reference II and Magnan Type Vi interconnects, Audioquest Sterling speaker wire, Kimber D-60 digital and Synergistic Research power cords I replaced it isn't funny.

Go to the website, I believe that you may audition them and then decide whether or not to buy. Good luck! Chuck

Just trust your ears. Generally what you say is true, but tests done by some audio magazines were all over the map. Two cables would test out the same, but one would sound better. Or sometimes a cable that would test poorly would sound good, whether high/low this or that...

The one CJ dealer I am familiar with (Spearit Sound) sells a lot of Siltech cables. Talk with them.

Thanks for the 3 that stopped to help.

Doesn't your APL 3910 have volume control?
