Favorite sounding interconnects?


There are so many brands and models of interconnects at so many different prices. What have you heard that has just blown you away, and why?

If you remember the system you heard them with (including your own -of course), and the type of terminations and length of cable with anything else that you would like to bring out would be most informative. Thanks in advance for sharing!

I agree with Craig regarding the Synergistic rec. I'm hardly golden-eared but have found the Resolution Reference Phase II to be quite neutral. I later noted with interest that Stereophile agrees with my neutrality experiences. In my search for system synergy, a number of components have come & gone at my house, but these interconnects remain. They are 1 meter lengths with RCA ends; 2 meter length didn't sound quite as good though. I even bought a couple pair of Looking Glass-II to use for tuner & aux. functions. Adding the active shielding power supply (Master Control Center II) greatly enhanced staging & even bettered bass control a noticable amount. It sounds best when powered by a (guess what) Synergistic Designers Reference Squared AC cord, as does my Accuphase preamp, so the synergy question may have some vaildity although I use some high-$ MIT speaker cables with it all.
CD is an EAD Ultradisc 2000, P.A.'s are McCormack DNA-1, Ayre V3, Perreaux 350.
I think that covers all of your questions. The Synergistic interconnetcs don't 'blow you away' they just get 'out of the way' which is what impresses me.
Now what are YOUR interconnect experiences, Mr. Wentereprises?
