For a old newbies, who want to upgrade his RCA cables: I change my setup, so it won’t be less available for kids. Doing so, All my Audioquest have 6 feet, and now, I only need 2 feet RCA. For now, I connect my yellow Vandenhul 2feet, my Audioquest 6feet, look like a spaghetti, when I use them in my compact setup. Maybe, it’s time to upgrade my RCA with something, that match, my new S300, seven years old design? Blue Jeans, new Audioquest [there a lot of Cardas fake or real, for sale, but could not identify that] So help! and it’s to cold now to get snake oil for my old Vandenhul! absolute no silver in tha cable ---

It depends on your budget as to what level of interconnect you might want to be considering. It could be that you want the best cables possible, costing more than your equipment, or cables more reasonable to the components you are connecting. Snake River Audio, their Takshaka line, uses a combination of copper and silver in their design. They might be a cost effective option if you are thinking upper tier cables without the upper tier pricing. But still more costly than your equipment. Takshska will not be anywhere near as good as a Stealth V17 interconnect, but will get you in to a better tier of interconnect. ---

A combination of both copper and silver incorporated into their design, is a current trend of several better sounding cables. ---

I like gold and copper, I use to live near those mining site! many decades ago! Silver = mean bright for me…! oh well, I am outdated, like a Dinosaur! Should buy cheap copper on Ali, than! or Transparent cable? ---

From Audio Sensibility in North York, Ontario. OCC copper and 27 inches long. Stephen makes high quality cables.

I try to stay away from pre-determined biases. I prefer to listen first. My current interconnect, Front Row Reserve, is a MUCH better cable than my previous Audioquest MacKenzie. FRR, which has a combination of copper and silver in the design of the cable, allows for a clarity and transparency as well as dynamics, that my previous AQ MacKenzie and Cardas Parsec interconnect cables simply don’t have, and the older cables sound dull in comparison. ---

As he’s looking for a “non-standard” length he is going to have to deal with the smaller internet direct custom cable builders like Audio Sensibility, Audio Envy, Triode Wire Labs, etc. There are several companies like that in Canada where he is and they are likely his best bet based on his wants. ---

Why don’t you just cut what you have now and re-terminate? ---

These look like very good cables for the price. My pricier VooDoo Cable Stradivarius cabling has OCC copper and OCC silver conductors and I think they are the cat’s meow. I would also recommend the Graphite Audio silver cables, they are an excellent value–I have never tried their copper but imagine they are very good. ---

For the kind of money you seem to be willing to spend, I would neatly coil your existing cables, fix with cable ties, stuff out of sight under the bottom shelf, and use the savings to add a foundry subwoofer. No question you’ll be sonically better off and when you close your eyes to welcome Bill Evans into your listening space, you won’t see the spagettoni anyway. (Thicker than spaghetti with a hole up the middle). ---

> [@dawkinsj](#): > > Triode Wire Labs Yup good idea, but First, I think selling them, for financing a better pair, than they are. I intend to do that in my TT, to replace the cheap 70 cables in there. But now I am searching infos, on how turn it RCA out in a XLR out on the turntable. But, I use to build my cable, with plane cable, when I was younger. Canada rule change, and Bombardier had discarded all is communication cable in the plane for double shield cable. It was a copper/teflon and mistery component. but that was 25years ago, and never seen them since then! but musical and accurate they were! Maybe building them would be good thing ---
