Blue jeans LC 1 interconnect ++1, I use expensive ic but this cable is almost 90% of what my highend Cables and it’s only $37.
System Cable Capacitance Question from a New Audiophile
Hey all, first discussion started here. I want to start off by saying that I have learned so much from reading these forums and that I appreciate the awesome collective knowledge that this community is comprised of.
I am a young audiophile transforming my system from an integrated peachtree nova 150 to separates. A little background, my speakers are kef LS50s, powered by a red dragon audio s500 power amp. I just removed my peachtree from the chain and inserted a humble schiit sys to use as a volume control directly into my s500 and the sound opened up significantly. I will upgrade the preamp eventually but am focusing elsewhere at this point.
I am not worried about the cable between the s500 and the sys, but the cables between the sys and my DAC/phono pre. My primary concern is choosing a cable that won't eliminate any of the high frequency audio information through the passive. Lets brake up the two sides of the system.
Digital: My DAC is a metrum amethyst which I was assured by metrum would output more than the specified voltage into my power amp so I am not worried there. However what are some general guidelines for the capacitance of a single ended cable? The run will be 1m.
Analogue: I have a rega planar 2 with a nagaoka mp200 cartridge running through a project tube box s. Any guidelines for the cable running from the phono pre to my sys?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have tried kimber PBJ cables and some morrow audio cables, so looking to keep the interconnect price under 300 each if I can. I would like to upgrade the rca connectors as I have found really great sonic improvement with doing that.
Thanks!
