Knuckledragger Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 I need a pair of standard RCAs, 2M length. I prefer copper vs. silver. I want something shielded and with decent strain relief. This is to go between my source (Adcom) and amp (Gilmore Lite), it is arguably the most important single connection in the house. I have used Kimber products extensively in the past, and I've been very happy with then. Unfortunately, they completely lack strain relief and are rather fragile. I'd like to keep my budget under $100. Suggestions? Quote
hYdrociTy Posted March 17, 2008 Report Posted March 17, 2008 zu oxyfuel baby. i got mine new for like 30 bucks for meter pair on ebay direct from them. stuff as a rod yet flexible when you bend it and it stays in shape.... and no matter what i do i can't seem to take it apart, which is a good thing. probably one of the most durable things out there.

Knuckledragger Posted March 26, 2008 Author Report Posted March 26, 2008 Thanks, Bueller. I found a 2M pair of Kimber Tonik's I'd forgotten about. They sound fine (possibly better than PBJs) but ave the patented Kimber fragility. They're certainly do for the moment. Quote
jp11801 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 I really like the suckitalo.com line of cables Quote

recstar24 Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 I may have coined the phrase but it's not my website. Although I suspect that it's my cables that John is talking about. I am actually calling my new senn cable that you built for me the "SIALO." Apparently it is a medical term, for saliva, to salivate, which fits because the cable is darn good sounding. Of course those in the know truly know what it stands for Quote
guzziguy Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 I've been listening to my SUCKITALO adapter for several days now. It's very transparent. The difference is night and day. Without the SUCKITALO, I don't hear anything! Quote

Knuckledragger Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Posted March 31, 2008 I'd say you all are a bunch of thread-hijackers, but that's status quo for every thread on this site. ... For the moment, I'm perfectly happy with my Kimber ICs, but *ahem* I might have need of balanced Sennheiser cables sometimes in the future. What does a 2M pair of SUCKITALO balanced Senn cables run, Nate? Quote

Knuckledragger Posted March 31, 2008 Author Report Posted March 31, 2008 So you are saying you expect your threads to be hijacked? Do you have any others that haven't been hijacked yet? No, I said that about all threads. Topics are a vague idea at best around here. Quote
grawk Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 No, I said that about all threads. Topics are a vague idea at best around here. Kind of like conversations between friends. If you're trying to use this place as a flea market, there are better options. Quote

n_maher Posted March 31, 2008 Report Posted March 31, 2008 What does a 2M pair of SUCKITALO balanced Senn cables run, Nate? Hard to price something that doesn't exist. Seriously though, outside of doing a few cables for friends I have no plans to produce any products under any names. You should talk to GE about a Senn cable, he's much better at this stuff than I am. Quote
