Outlaw PCA's are made with continuous cast copper, which should sound pretty good. The only thing holding them back are the cheap connectors. Before break-in, they do sound just as described above, harsh, etc. I use CCC cabling from Vampire throughout my analog setup and have used the Outlaw PCA's for DVD-A connections. I use Dimarzio cabling for my vintage digital system.
What cable would you choose?
Naim CD5i, Arcam AVP-700 (direct stereo mode, pre-amp to be upgraged soon, but will keep the Arcam for HT), Odyssey Stratos Extreme amp, Usher CP-6381 speakers.
I'm currently using two pairs of Outlaw PCA's for IC's and Monster M1.4's for speakers cables. I also have on hand and have tried in every conceivable combination the following IC's: Chord silver siren, cobra, cobra III, Chrysalis (the original Cobra and Chrysalis have the Naim Din to RCA which is supposed to provided better performance)and Eichmann eXpress-4.
As it turns out the cheapest cables I own (Outlaws) wound up sounding better than anything else I had on hand.
I know that some of these are very popular components and many others own them, so I was hoping to hear your findings and get your recommendations.
I'm not one to spend a fortune on cables, but I do realize there are big differences. I'm looking for the best reasonably priced cables I can find.
The one name that seems to keep coming up when I read about affordable cables is Audio Art (Think they're either the same or very similar to DH Labs).
Anyow, I would be greatful if some of you could find the time to share your experiences.
Thanks.
