They say 1.5m is the minimum recommended length Martin .

Thanks Brian.
I've now made up my couple clones and I like the results. Seems to work well with the Brio-R and Dac, maintaining the smooth but punchy presentation
Unfortunately, I didn't order enough of the Klotz cable to make up a digital interconnect and now Bernie has sold his MIke Homar IC
Definitely not going to sell my Brio-R though

Martin I have a Rega digi interconnect made up with the Klotz cable.
Sitting in my spares bag.
1.5m I think.
Interested?
Hi Gary,
Yup, definitely interested in buying a ready made one (at the right price ) Funnily enough, Brian just PM'd me to say he thinks he may have a spare one too. Looks like I could be spoilt for choice!
Incidentally, what's the recommended connector for digital use? I keep reading about the need to keep the impedence to 75 ohms or the bits and bytes will come out in the wrong order or something like that!
Cheers,
Martin

Hi, I'd also be interested in the the klotz digi cable if anyone is getting rid.
One of these days... I'm going to cut you into little pieces.

If you are looking to offload any 'Couple' ICs or clones also let me know.

I used to stock "Rega Clone" Klotz/Neutrik Profi IC's but stopped making them due to lack of demand. I would be happy to start making these again for sale if there is sufficient demand for them or on the basis of one-off orders. Just let me know (I was charging £55 per 1m set). It doesn't make the best digi cable by the way. It may approximate to 75 Ohms but the combination of spiral shielding and deviation from 75 Ohms makes it a poor choice. you could end up utilizing a fair amount of data redundancy when transmitting digital signals. There are far better alternatives if on a budget such as the Van Damme 75 Ohm cable.
