Belden 8402 w/ Switchcraft RCAs have a cult following in Japan and sound like what you are after.
Warm, rich sounding interconnects?
My system is in flux at the moment with a Wadia Intuition 01 as preamp/amp/DAC bookshelf Tyler speakers and (horror of horrors) an iPhone with an Auris bluetooth connection for the current audio source. Since bluetooth at best sounds somewhat thin and tilted up on higher frequencies, it doesn’t play necessarily well with the Wadia which is great sounding overall but also can be on the revealing side.
I know I should get a better source - but even so I’ll always want the option of wireless in various situations. I’ve owned Purist Audio Museaus’s (rev-c’s) in the past, which would be perfect, but sadly sold them on A-gon some time ago. Those are hard to find and the newer Purist cables are brighter sounding.
So in a nutshell I’m looking for interconnects which will deepen and darken the sound for my current setup - and new/used for under $400. Any ideas?

Beldon 8402 with Switchcraft? I'll check it out although I know the Asian market tends to be about the upper frequencies..No, you are totally wrong. Just like someone making a blanket statement about the American market would be wrong. http://jeffsplace.me/wordpress/?p=7325 |
czarivey, I have worked in engineering across several industries. All the components for equipment "made in USA" came from China. Even small stuff like nuts/bolts and o-rings at times. These US company execs don't care if the parts are copied and even sold to competitors. Why is that?Because all they care about is the results at the end of the quarter and their own bonuses. They stick around for a couple of years and move on to the next place. It does not take a genius to source everything from China and improve margins. Obviously quality suffers, I see it all the time but by then these guys have moved on. The source of the problem has always been corporate America and yet I only see a backlash against the poor bloke who makes 5 bucks a day. |
I guess my input on this ends since my last post was removed by a moderator. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” ― Isaac Asimov |
