AudioQuest Big Sur RCA Audio Cable - 1.5m, 2X RCA, Copper, Black

It took two weeks to break in but now they sound great in general and made most of my cds sound great. They do slightly color the sound of music but for the money are hard to beat. I think most people would be happy with them who spent less then $2K on their amp & speakers.

These cables are wonderful. They really make a difference in the listening experience. Consider it like HD sound; the silences are deep, longer reverb tails, pristine, detailed midrange and precise, clean tonal balance in the bass and treble.I use these for live electronic music believe it or not, as they seem to be targeted for home or hifi equipment. Improves the sound of all my gear and makes effects perform better. I also perform better because the information I’m hearing is so true. Way better than Mogami Gold or Monster. Highly recommend!

There are cheaper RCA interconnect cables, and there are better ones, too. But I cannot think of any RCA interconnect cable that is better for less. I got a 2-metre pair for just under $120 from Amazon in 2013.I tried some cheaper (and lesser quality) RCA interconnect cables before, and they were a waste of money. I replaced them after a while and had to spend more to get better cables later.This is the lowest priced RAC interconnect cables that let me forget about the cables and enjoy the music. Nothing stands out in particular with the Big-Sur, they are clear and transparent, well-balanced, and stress-free.

I can’t say that these sound better than the Mogami Gold 1 metre I was using to connect my turntable but they certainly do not sound worseI will repurpose the Mogami for a hi end legacy CD player used in a secondary system and keep these because they are very nice cables and I never spent stoopit $ on a cable so there’s that

I switched from Chord Chrimson Plus RCA's (best analogue interconnects Hifi 2011), to Big Surs, to connect a Musical Fidelity V90 DAC (OSX laptop running TIDAL) to a Rega Brio 3 and a pair of well positioned KEF LS50's on stands, in a small room.I could detect a small improvement in bass control and richness through the Audioquest Big Sur vs the previous cable without perceivable differences in the rest of the sound spectrum nor differences in sound-staging.I did not A/B test the cables with higher quality signals like DSD, CD or Super Audio CD.5 stars because it does what is says on the box: provides sound improvement on an already great sounding system.

Use to connect, audioquest amp to audioengine dac to my old Mac Tower. Expensive but if you want the outer edge on your sound, well worth it. Looked these up on different site, they were an additional $30.00.

These are great RCA cables that actually sound better than the Golden Gate cables they replaced. The higher frequencies sounded harsh initially, but once these cables were broken-in they're amazing. They have increased the sound stage precision and the accuracy of instruments sound throughout the frequency range. I never would have believed that cables could do this a year ago, even the timber of a strumming acoustic guitar is more realistic... God Bless Audioquest!

In the Picture shown on Amazon, there are 4 Jacks and this guives the Buyer the mpression that he is receiving 2 Pairs of Cables for the stipulated price. However when the cabels came it had only one pair of cables per Box. This is very misleading. Furthermore these cables have a black rubber piece which divides the 2 wires closer to the Jack. The distance from this rubber piece and the jack is too short as most AV Processors and Amplifiers have their inputs fixed in a very unusual manner. For eg. the RF input will be at one end and the LF will be at another end. Therefore each cable cannot be stretched enough to input the jacks in an orderly manner. I had great difficulty connecting these cables to my Emotiva Processor and Vincent Power Amplifier. It would be better if that piece of rubber on the cables is either done away with or placed much further from the Jacks at both ends. This is for the manufacturers' attention.
