Tuneful Cables by High-End Audio


Has anyone auditioned Belden 8402 Interconnects By Tuneful Cables? High-End Audio manufacturers the cables in NY. They claim “It’s a secret favorite among fanatical tube gurus and vintage HiFi tinkerers.” Are these RCA interconnects worth consideration?

“I may stick with Nordost interconnects - Norse level Heimdall.”

There are certainly better options than pouring money into Nordost cable lineup below TYR2, IME.

Thanks for that sweet story Steve. I had a real affection for Art and was frequently on the same wavelength with his views on gear. That was really thoughtful of his daughter to send you that. It has a good home with you.

I agree with roxy54. What a memorable story and a keepsake you will cherish forever.  

Well, here is where I'm at, if I go with used cables. I know Nordost are a good, fairly consistent, match with Conrad Johnson amps and preamps. I've read numerous post on the CJ users website regarding interconnects. I current have Red Dawn speaker cables. Some consider these a sweet spot in the Nordost speaker cable lineup. Obviously, the higher end Nordost are much better and cost two times as much. Unfortunately, they are not within my budget or system's requirements. I'm not running a 20K amp etc. lalitk mentioned better interconnects are available at the Heimdall 2 RCA used price point. Any real life comparisons or feedback on this topic?

Please refer to @williewonka post. I will also add Sternklang IC’s to that list. I’ve used Nordost Frey 2, TYR 2, Audio Envy, Zavfino, Sternklang and HIJIRI. Synergy is every thing, if you’re confident that Nordost matches well with CJ gear, then that pretty much settles it. If you’re open to trials, then consider AE - Prestige and Zavfino - Fusion and let your ears guide you.
