    Default Do I need a better interconnect?

    Hi,
    I have a Rega Planar 2/Rega Fono MM and a Densen B 110 amplifier.The interconnect is a Qed performance áudio 2(50£). So my question: will I get better results with a Chord Clearway interconnect(100£)?It has a best buy award What Hi Fi 2017

    It is always best to try some from a good dealer , then select from those you have tried, I have found.
    You could well spend double and find it sounds different and not especially better
    This is my personal finding

    I always take What Hi-Fi's awards with a huge pinch of salt.

    I personally don't rate either QED's or Chord's cables at all.

    Bought a pair of these Edge cables recently and very impressed by them too, especially so for the asking price https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/EDGE-1m-P...72.m2749.l2649
    CD player = Marantz CD6006
    DAC/pre = Rotel RC 1572
    Power amp = ADA PF201
    Speaks = Quadral Chromium Style 6

    I suggest getting a soldering iron and constructing your own.
    Most of my cables are DIY, Ive found its a good way of experimenting, and a cheap way of getting the most out of you system.
    A cable may sound good in one position in your system but move it somewhere else and it spoils the sound.
    I prefer silver cables, solid or silver plated copper.

    Agree with Mick and Dominic.

    Ignore What Hi Fi recommendations.

    Use eBay to buy CarboKab 225 cable and Star Line Silver RCA plugs.

    Will cost you around £30

    Those Edge ones on eBay do look remarkable value at just £15 for a 1 metre pair!

    Do you need some? Maybe,

    Do you want some? Maybe

    Theres a loan list for the SPOTFIRE cable I make, why not look it up, join it and have a listen and see if you NEED some new cables. As it's a loan, there's no obligation and you can see how your cables compare. All for free!!!!!

    You should do this , opened my eyes for sure as to the difference cables can make, the Spotfires are really good. Can lead to a lot of wishful thinking though!

    Yes, indeed. BTW, this Qed is a good cable, doesn´t matter if is cheap. I guess I will buy a few more records, and forget the cable story...
