I feel guilty but I love it.
They shouldn’t be used on cheap equipment because the locking RCA connectors could rip the whole chinesium connector out lol … would be pointless anyway because you probably couldn’t hear a different on cheap stuff..
I tested it between Oppo 203 and Rega Elex-R via StraightWire Soundstage (BiWire) on Harbeth Super HL5. I don’t think I can put the differences into words accurately, so I won’t try. But they were clearly more convincing than my WireWorld Luna 8. Even though I like the WireWorld connector and lower weight better and they dont look like a vintage hose to a shower head. The popular Amzaon Basic was almost more convincing than the WireWorld. And an ancient audioquest had much milder high frequencies.
I might try the Straight Wire Encore II and Kimber PBJ 3 RCA in the future.
The differences are minimal but it’s fun to fine-tune and I’d recommend everyone, even on a budget, to buy a different brand of cable for each new cable and play around.
