Looking for advice for a good 3.5mm to RCA


Just like this Audio quest Sur but want a better brand.

Wow....Audioquest is a bad brand now, eh?? (too generic?? doesn’t fit into the audiopheel snob show anymore?)...

Anyways, Viablue is a brand from Germany (stuff is hand made in Germany) that makes very good quality cables. I ran into their stuff at a couple of recent shows....

I have been messing around with cables from my AK 2000 player and also ifi Gryphon.  I ended up having audio envy make me a cable and it was a very nice step up from the Audioquest stuff I was using.  I didn't go super high but around 200 bucks I think and the audio envy was less and I think sounded a lot better. 

Up front, not an Audioquest fan.   And I’ve owned plenty over the years.  My last foray into their product was banana plugs.  Awful quality beyond description.

After Signal Cable stopped making theirs, I was forced to visit “The Evil Empire”.

This cable with supposed German pedigree is well, China.  But it is well made and sounds good.  And great packaging.  Hope that helps.

I would look just for better ...

Brands might be different to the point of one better than the other, but the particular product "betterness" factor is I guess far more desirable even from the worse brands.

I use and enjoy the WireWorld Nano-Silver Eclipse with my Chord Mojo2.

They make several models at different price points.

Try their evergreen line. Sounds crazy but you may like that lean/clean sounds for much less

 

otherwise try Morrow Audio 

What quality audio component has a 3.5mm out?   I"m guessing the audioquest is better quality than what is upstream of it.
