A cable thread for Rega system owners.

Been using z plugs for years now

The speaker cable is flattish and £14.98 per mtr. 250 strands of OFC, 4 mm square section and that's it. Both cables are German made I believe but don't quote me on that.

Do you have anymore information about the Rega Duet?Is it a German cable and if so what?

[hifi_dave]

Nothing, other than it's custom made for Rega.

I was using silly priced Kimber Monocle XL speaker cable in my system and wondered about the Rega Duet. In it went and in it stays. Just gets out of the way of the music making. Great cable! System sounding better than ever. Of course that is for this month.

Rega Duet is a very good and reasonably priced cable.

Mains Cables
For the mains I settled on some homemade clones of Rega’s own high end mains cables which are apparently shipped with the flagship Osiris amplifier. All the stuff came courtesy of MCRU and rather than post links I’ll just say they were made from Lapp cable, Martin Kaiser Brass Plated IECs and MK brass plated toughplugs. Pretty straightforward construction with the braid connected at the ground pin of the plug end, used a bit wire casing and solder to connect to the earth cable and keep the job tidy. The cable ends were tinned with a little solder so the small pins got a good grip. For the DAC I use a cloverleaf IEC to C5 adaptor also supplied by MCRU.
I also tried some other homemade cables made from Black Rhodium Fusion Cable, Kaiser Silver Plated IECs and MK silver plated tough plugs. Also tried the stock Rega cables the components came with.


Would like to try a budget orientated Rega mains clone like this chap made for himself. Does anyone have one to sell or would be willing to build?

There was more to the Rega cable than just that...but Dave' s wire wasn't a million miles off.
