Good USED XLR Interconnect Choices for $300-$400?
Oops, beside warm, sweet, and romantic, I forgot to add elegant to my taste of music. Gotta have that to go with my Sonus Faber. Note: the Krell Cogelco IC sounds very close to Beldon LC-1 but without elegant characteristic.

Ghstudio,I somewhat agree with you and respect your inputs. In my experience, the more expen$ive speaker cables the better they delivery. But that concept doesn’t apply to interconnect cables. IMO, IC cables can delivery much stronger unique “soul...

Also, after today experiment,I want to confirm that this copper tweak WILL NOT work on Ayre D1xe DVD player. The video will be blacked-out. Confirmed.Note: Ayre D1-xe equipt with seperate power supply.

"If the copper coupler had an "audiophile" name on it with a $500.00 price, he'd put-em on his cord(s) w/o question."If StereoPhile magazine agrees to test and write a full review for this tweak under my new company's name: "NasaMan", I'd probably...

"He refused to even try the copper fitting, because he believed it would not do anything."Lol, and that's why he has the "well engineered" factory power cord. Just a while back, people did not believe the earth was rounded like an orange, and they...

This tweak works great on my friend's system. Great improved on audio. We tested on DVD mode using his Bob Scacces disk, but there's 1 technical problem. After the 2nd attemped, audio still playing but the video went blank (showing no input) every...

OMG, this tweak REALLY works for my system. The power cable for my DVD Denon-5910 is 1M long and everytime I slided back far away from the CD end (IEC female plug) it degraded sound quality in both instruments (guitar, violin) and Diana Krall "The...

Alrighty, finally, I bought 2 of them, 1.5" for my IEC (Note: 1.25" did not fit the Wattage plugs, it just stops right at the black lip of the plug). Paid $4.99/each from Mom&Pop strore since Lowes did not have any copper or brass bigger than ... 
If you could do a blind shootout...
How come I don't see Sonus Faber in here? if this is for $3K retail price then my awesome old SF Grand Piano Home series fell off the chart then.

Thansk,I have the standard Wattgate plugs so will see. An engineering guy said that it isn't have to be copper. It can be brass or else, what matter is its thickness. He also added, other material that can actually "neutralize" magnet is called Mu...

Brought my EIC connector in local Ace hardware for sizing but their biggest size avail. for copper coupler was half inch or 3/8". Does any one have the part number from Lowes of Home Depot?

Chrissan,I just talked to 1 electrical engineering at my work and, just like you brought it up earlier, he too rec'd to run a ground wire from a coupler to the classis. Verified.He thinks to design a "metal hat" like Marantz do to their REference ...

The Reference models from www.Marantz.com are eliminating /reducing EMI right where it was being generated, the Toroid transformers. The INSIDE images from the website show beautiful craftsmanship of the Reference models and how well the Toroid tr...

Chrissan,You may mistaken EMI and RFI. While RFI MUST need a ground wire to disepate its energy... like the lightning rod, the MAGNETIC energy /force can be controled by creating barriers, distant, or demagnectized equipments. Hooking up a ground ...

Rx8man,Glad to hear the tweak is working out for you.One question, what brand are your power cables and are they shielded?
