Eichman RCA's - what makes them so good?

I've just installed a set of these on a silver interconnect I have and the difference in details was very noticeable. The image has become very focussed with more depth and the micro details have also improved consideraby.

I realize the silver is probably responsible for the improved resolution, so is the design responsible for the improved imaging? Will the copper give me the same image improvements?

Has anyone out there tried both the silver and the copper (or gold plated copper)
- if so what difference did you notice?

Alternately - if you have only used copper
- what were you using previously?
- what differences did you notice?

I am using these on my analogue stage, which I thought was pretty good - until yesterday.

I'm thinking of trying the gold plated copper on the digital side - or should I just opt for the silver - the curious side of me wants the copper, just to see what the differences are, but the pragmatic side is saying that if I'm not happy - I'll need to replace them with the silver :-)

If it's the design of the rca that's more responsible for the improvements' then going for the copper would be more cost effective

Any feedback appreciated - thanks

Rja - I have tried all of the Harmony Plug range of products and they all perform better than the Eichmann Silver Bullet. See previous post.

The Pure Harmony will provide the highest level of resolution. They all require around 150 hours burn-in, but will sound exceptional after around 50-60 hours.

I have just installed the Pure Harmony on my turntable silver litz loom and the improvements are staggering - so much more resolution.

I think KLE Innovations really delivers top performing cables and RCA's - they may not be much to look at (not flashy), but what they deliver is absolutely superb sound.

I've changed my phono Interconnet and speaker cables to the gZero6 and have the Pure Harmony and Silver Harmony on my remaining silver interconnects.

The gZero3 line of products is also very very good and more affordable

Give them a try - I was an immediate convert :-)

I'm about to take ownership of a set of Eichmann silver bullets, installed on a pair of RCA interconnects made by Morrow Audio. I've read great things about silver, and wanted to try it out. I just realized that Eichmann makes a new version, but for me I think the silver bullets will tell the tale for my system. I should have them in 2 weeks or so, as the cables are made from scratch and then burned in for me.

Runnin - won't you always bee wondering just how much better the Pure harmony would sound ?

Sorry - couldn't resist :-)

Thanks you trouble maker!

No, I'm actually pretty happy with just getting something by Eichmann, the cables they'll be on are a real treat, so the combo should be excellent. You can spend so much money in this hobby, I don't want to squeeze the last drop out of my system SQ wise. Getting $400 cables(including the bullets)is more than I ever wanted to spend, good thing they were 35% off!
