RCA Interconnect Cable recommendation

[ajuvignesh]

I have a budget of Rs 10,000 for a pair of RCA interconnects to connect my DAC to my Poweramp. I am currently using Belden 1694F with MX rca connectors and I will use each as a digital cable from now on. I am considering these four cables to connect my DAC and Poweramp.

1. Belden 8402
2. Mogami 2803
3. Mogami W2497 Neglex
4. Pangea Premier Interconnect.

I love tight bass, a meaty midrange with decent treble sparkle. I will also have a minidsp SHD studio dirac live room correction system in the chain. So, which cable will be a better pick?

 

[Phew]

My vote to the pangea, have used it in the past and when my second setup is up and running again will start to use it again. In the bass its very detailed though quantity might feel less, in the midrange seperation, and clarity is the main attraction, male vocals have good heft, the treble is where I find it lacking some refinement and a little veiled. But at the price offered its good for what it's doing.

Thank you Pangea is known for its power cables. Good that they are performing well in the Interconnect department as well.

QED performance is worth trying, Aju.

Has anyone compared the Belden 8402 against Mogami 2803?

I am using the Mogami 2803. I felt the bass “bloat” was definitely reduced. One could also call it tight or lean, but as many things in this hobby, things can get pretty subjective . I didn’t like the lean bass the first few days after I switched to Mogami, but I guess I am used to it now. The treble too is well separated, but slightly understated.

Thank you so much, Nagaraj. How is the midrange?

You are welcome.
I would say the same for mid-range too. The overall character of this Mogami IC was separation. Creamy is not the word I would use

That sounds exciting.

If you think your system is missing something or some music sounds muffled, less clear or congested, try 2803. May be that was the only missing link

Mogami 2549 has some magic , try it once.
Ping Ali from soundfoundation and ask him some of the ICs for home trial. TC applied.
I have been using Mogami 2549 since last 2 yrs and happy with it.

Here is a dedicated thread for same

Any lovers of this cheap cable for rca, I found that whatever cable I tried, I have gone back to this cable over any other, I always tried to move to some more high resolution cable, but this cable's fat and little grainy sound always attracted me back. Am I crazy or what. Does this mean I don't need any expensive amps and speakers also.

Cables I tried:-

Vdh d102 mkiii
Mogami 2803
Furutech alpha line 2
Sound foundation z1
Audiogd rca cables

Thank you. I got myself a 2803. Happy with it. Having said that, will take your suggestion and try 2549 later sometime.

Pangea Premier Interconnect would be my pick from the options you mentioned.

I am not sure if RCA will play bigger role while connecting avr to power amp, but that's my opinion.

I have also some ICs lined for auditioned from soundfoundation

They are here and currently burning...will update here once I have some critical listening done, They are connected b/w dac and preamp.

it's nice. In my opinion, it is flat and slightly tilted to treble and bass presentation. great details. My system is not dynamically sound. So can't comment on it.
