What interconnects should I use between a Bryston BCD-1 and a Bryston B60R? When I bought the BCD-1, I hooked it up with the Tara Labs Prism 55 interconnects that I already had. I'm wondering if I could find better interconnects in the $200-$300 range (new or used, RCA cables).
I like the simplicity of just buying the interconnects Bryston sells ($200 for a 1-meter pair). But I recall reading a while back that better interconnects can be had for around the same price.
What interconnects would you recommend, and what sonic advantages would they have over my current interconnects? Thanks.
Clarity is the word that comes to mind. Are their ICs that strike a middle ground? Neither bright nor dull? That said, I would lean toward the laid back.
Mogami Gold AES XLR will gives you lots of clarity, bass, detail without brightness. They are neutral. Used by pros. They will out performed many $$ cables.
UPDATE: I put this quest aside for awhile, but now I'm ready to get back to it.
The BCD-1 has a very natural sound to it -- detailed but warm. I want an IC that will preserve that. I think my current ICs (Tara Labs Prism 55) are veiling some of the details.
My short list now includes Audience AU24, Cardas Cross, Kimber Hero, Van Den Hul D102, or VDH the First Ultimate. Any opinions on these choices or other suggestions? Thanks.
I have always demo'ed bryston w/ Nordost cables- very nice sound- not bright nor dull. That Tara Labs 55 is a nice entry -level cable. Try the Nordost wyre wizard cable.
In that price range, I strongly recommend Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval interconnects. I refer you to the review of those cables on Soundstage.com. These cables outperformed Cardas Golden Reference and Audience AU 24e in my system. Best of luck in your search.
