NVA interconnects

[Sovereign]

Had sound cords and super sound pipes, the SSP is a very good cable indeed, and I'm only gay after a few pints

Hey. I'LL have a Babycham...

Richard Dunne of NVA will probably repair them from free,

No he won't, I had mine re-soldered by him cost about £20 for both sets.

That's almost free especially if it includes return postage.

Especially if you're gay!

Marco.

Or if you happen to have an opinion.......

I've never broken Sound Cords or Soundpipes and I chop and change quite a bit. I must be doing something right

Funnily enough, NVA, Rega and Van Den Hul are the only ones I haven't managed to break in my time. I do like NVA interconnects, but even I was surprised at how good SoundCord is as a digital cable. I only tried it by chance one day because I was fed up of using a stiff 1m cable for a DAC sat on top of a transport.

For anyone wanting a good interconnect and for some reason not wanting SoundCord, I'd say have a listen to Rega Couple. Mind you, it will cost you quite a bit more and I don't think it's any better. Still better to my ears than all the others I've tried though.

The couple is great, or was, when used as part of a system deal. If you can use a soldering iron, you used to be able to replicate it in all but the labelling on the outer jacket for around thirty notes. Tragic that the retail price has doubled in ten years, whereas the wire and plugs used (Klotz AC110/La Grange and Neutrik Pro's) doesn't seem hugely more expensive???? One reason I suspect why Rega changed it recently, since the phono plugs now used, although seemingly excellent ones? are cheaper than the Neutriks. I have no idea about the wire they're using nowadays though.

Keep an eye out for these, might be worth a try?

I have just bought a pair of those and very pleased with them.

Had the Sound Pipes in the past and they gave a bass heavy presentation in my system with a rolled off top end.

I'm not gay but I once slept with a guy who was.

I've been trying to find out for ages. La Grange just doesn't seem to be available any more. Is AC110 exactly the same, do you know, or is it a similar replacement? No worries if you don't know for sure.
