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

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.
I have left AOS.
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.
Tear down these walls; Cut the ties that held me
Crying out at the top of my voice; Tell me now if you can hear me
