Visual Rio interconnects.
I had installed my CD player (NAD C515BEE) 3 metres (10 feet in old money) from my amp (NAD C326BEE) using what I now know were cheapo interconnects from Maplin, because I couldn't find any other interconnects of that length in the house at the time. I never used the CD much as I am a Vinyl fan, and never really bothered to take note of how the CD sounded until I noticed what sounded like sibilance while listening to an operatic CD recently and, on a whim, replaced the interconnects with a set of Fisual Rio cables. Oh, wow, what a difference. It was as though I had binned the entire system and replaced it with a new one. No comparison at all. Definitely no more sibilance, and a much more open sound stage, with more transparent highs and more controlled, deeper lows. Does anyone else have any experience with Fisual Rio cables? They are quite stiff compared to my much shorter Van Damme cables, which are much more supple and I therefore presume that they may be co-axial? I don't want to rip the heat-shrink seal off of the connector to find out.
