RCA interconnect recommendation


Would like recommendations for interconnects for both analog and digital side to an integrated Rogue Cronus amp from a Nottingham/EAR 834P on one side and an Antelope Zodiac DAC on the other side. What should I be looking at and what kind of budget should I set. I'm thinking up to $500  for a pair but have no idea. Thanks for all advice.

Haven't received them yet. I'll report back once I've had a chance to hear them. 

The Hegel H390 is both more resolving and less colored than any integrated I've owned and as a result, differences in SQ between CDs are highlighted. This may may it more difficult to choose between the Silver and Copper cables.  We'll see. . .

Good point and agree with your suggestion.  It can be system dependent, and results can vary.  While I have both in other brands I went from silver back to occ copper. Silver was great in my former system, not the case in a newer setup, fwiw. Just gotta try it and see. What works well in one persons setup might not in others.  

@decooney:

 

Agreed !  

 

The Coppers are due to arrive this Thursday. 

 

Another wrinkle-- unfortunately, The Cable Co. only had one pair of the Coppers  in their lending library and the Schiit Lokius requires two pair of ICs ( I locate it between DAC and integrated). This means I'll have to compare the Silvers and Coppers without the benefit of being able to tweak the sound with the Lokius. So, from my point of view, this will be a less-than-ideal test but it's the best I can do.
