Interconnects - do they make a difference?
Interconnects - do they make a difference?
I am looking at testing a few interconnects on my system, and I was wondering what you guys would recommend.
The Main use will be between my Graham Slee Ultra Linear Headphone amp and my ReflexM phono stage.
I don't have any cheap leads from currys or the like to test, so I am wondering what the opinion here is.

The other beauty of these is they take away yer holiday money so you have to stay home and listen to your hi-fi as you can't afford to do anything else.
Anyone find more expensive ones

Doc,
They can't be any good, as they don't cost enough. They are well shy of £10k.
As for the NVA IC's, which would you recommend?
I'm running a 2M black through the little silver boxes mentioned above, into Sennheiser HD650 headphones.
Is there a big difference in the range you offer sonically?

Try and see, you can trade in for no loss upgrade or refund if unhappy - no risk.
Just to clear up this which is better question. I have to use my musical judgement obviously but I wouldn't bother making a more expensive one unless it was better, NVA is not Nordost, it is not just a money making scam, it is not about the story it is about the music. The other alternative that people like is Mark Grant cables and he operates a return if unhappy scheme as well. So in your place with no knowledge I would start at the lower point of both ranges and try and compare and send back the one you don't want.

Re: Interconnects - do they make a difference?
My in built programming wont allow it Wallace. I have a set of hi-fi ethics and it is too late to change it now. It is not just that though - basically it would embarrass me to do it. AND even though people wont believe me, I make enough money, I don't need to rip people off. The other important thing is I don't need to look for patent applied for bullshits and other thing to protect me, as has been proved with the Sound Cord. If people find the raw cable and copy it they cannot make it cheaper. The one Jerry uses is about 70% higher price and the one Jammy uses is twice the price.
