What are the best interconnects.

I replaced my King Cobra's with RS Audio 6 nines silver interconnects and was suprised with the increase in everthing, i,e, everthing good. After which I replaced the
RS Silver with RS and Signal palladium interconnects.
I could probably reduce some noise in the turn table Amp by using a really good shielded cable.
I may have a pair or two of the RS Silver interconnects that you can borrow and trial if you like.
Let me know. I am not interested in selling them though.
I am saving them for an SET / horn set up.

I tried there web page but it looks like it's down. Must be fairly recent since I remember being on it recently.
I have included some info below, Richard may still be available? I wanted to make a correction in that the palladium's I have are made by RScable and MAC (My Audio Cable) not by Signal. There are some reviews on the net and also some info here on AG forums. MAC has the palladiums on sale right now, you may ask for a few loaner pairs. Also I think that the Cable Company has a loaner program. They may have some Cardas cable you can sample; since you were interested in the Cardas.
I have been through a few sets of different speaker cables, and I am now using Crystal Clear.I cant speak for there interconnects, but the speaker cables were a huge improvement. There is a seller (lilobit) here on Audiogon that sells the Crystal Clear, you may ask here for a couple of trial sets. lilobit sells them for much less then what you will find on the Crystal Clear web site.
Please understand, I am not claiming that any of these are the best, it's just what I have used and were happy with.
Please take this as positively as you can, but I was never really happy with the King Cobra's, Just my opinion now, but I think any of the cables that are addressed in the forum here will beat them pants down, especially the Cardas. I have never read a review stating a cardas was a so so cable. I once heard a breath taking system that used all Golden reference models, but how much those cables contributed to the system, who know's. Good luck. Sorry about steering you to a company that has what looks like gone out of business. Also alot of people seem to like the Clear Day speaker cables, you may check to see if or what they have for interconnects.

I have early mastercraft bi-wired with spades. Also have a Crystal Clear Mastercraft PC (bought from lilobit).
On Occasion I get a little noise from my turn table source.
This didnt happen untill I started using the MAC Palladium interconnects (I think probably because they are not shielded, just twisted). I may just need to move some cables around, I'm not sure, I havn't really looked into it since it only occures from time to time and very minimal. The other source equipment I have are dead quite using the RS and MAC palladiums, with volume up and no music playing. If I find that it is due to unshielded IC's
I will probably be looking at Crystal Clear Master Series.
I am really sold on silver or palladium, but you will find alot of opposition to using all around palladium. What can I say, I plug them in and sonics are improved considerably and continue to get better for the first ???? hours. I havn't experienced any of the trebel harshness that some do, and to top it off I have Townsend Super Tweeter's.
Bare in mind that the Pre, amp's (monoblocks) CD player are tubes all PrimaLuna so I have played with some tube rolling which has tamed the sonics to my liking.
Best of luck with your selection

Bobpaule,
Your absolutly right. I am sure if someone replaced the RS or MAC palladuium with Cardas Golden reference, there would soon be more palladium cables on AG for sale.
As far as best cable, well you know how that goes. I will say though that there are better value cables.

Greywolf100,
I recently visited the Clearday calble web site. It in addition to speaker cables, it looks like theyare now offering a silver IC with copper Icmanns. I think there $179.00.
You may want to ask for a loaner pair. i can loan you a couple of pair of RS audio, If you want to try silver IS's. One has copper Icmanns and the other has Silver Icmanns.
Mac Audio has came down a heck of alot on there palladium cables. At one time they were as much as $460.00 or so. Now ther on sale for about $160.00 - $180.00.
I really notived a lot of improvement on overall clairity with both the Rs and the Mac palladium cables. Between the two, the RS Palladium are the best. I believe its the Eicmann Silver connectors, but they were about twice the cost of the MAc's.
If you cant get your hands on a loaner from MAC, I would be willing to pull a pair of MAC Palladiums from one of my sources and let you try them for a a week or so then you would have to send them back. The RS silvers you could keep for a little longer since I am not using the mright now. but this hs gor to be an indicator of how good I think the RS Silvers are. Instead of selling them I am hanging on to them for some distant SET, Single driver system I may or may not put together.
The silver RS Audio ma give you an idea of how the Clear Day Cables would perform.
Alot of performance for the dollar.
By the what components did you need the IC's for.
Also there is a member here on AG Rodmann99999 that you may want to look up. i work in aircraft avionics and this guys understanding of electronic principle is a couple of runs up the ladder past my understanding. Of course audio circuits and avionics circuits are much different. But he has alot of years designing audio systems for others. he has always been very helpful to me. I am sure he would be willing to help you. He has probably been around more IC's then the average audio nut.
Good luck with your venture. if I think of anything else I will let you know.
Contact me if you want to borrow the cables. I you havn't heard silver or palladium you may want to give it a try.
