Well I picked up an AE Impact SE and am going to try another pair of DH Labs Silver Sonic Air Matrix as well. I’ll probably get the Zu Audio Mission to try also. I’m having a hard time finding a reasonably priced Jelco with RCA/RCA. They all seem ...

Thanks Wolf and chakster,The Mission I spotted on eBay is the original version (not MKII) and is a phono cable. They are direct from Zu Audio but don't guarantee what connector I'll get. It would be some decent+ RCA though.
