Audiophile Series RCA Cable, 2RCA Male to 2RCA Male Hi-Fi Interconnect Cord, 1.6ft/0.5M, 7mm Heavy Duty Multiple Shielded Nylon Braided Cord for Turntable, Amplifier & Home Theater (Black)

I've been using these for a couple months. I'm on an entry level system: SMSL DO100 SMSL HO100 SMSL SH-6 Hi-Vi Swans M10 Plus These cables are being used on my SH-6's pre-out to the M10 plus. The SH-6 is connected to the DO100 via RCA, while the HO100 is connected to the DO100 via XLR. The sound is clear, no noise, no distortion, and very detailed. Many report that these cables brighten up the sound. They may, I'm not entirely sure on the relative brightness of other cables, since my setup is brand new and never had other cables on this setup. But they sure do sparkle with clarity. I can hear micro details so clear it startles me for a second because I wasn't sure if the sound was from the speakers, or something from my surroundings. The whole "brightening" thing, if true, I guess can be a good, or a bad thing depending on the rest of your system, and the sound you are aiming to achieve. If it's already really bright, then perhaps, these may not be what you want. As for build quality, these may, or may not be what you're looking for. These cables are stiff. I mean super stiff. So, if you're tight on space, these may not be fore you. I made them work for me. While they are indeed stiff, they also feel robust and heavy duty. How true that is in reality, I will see in time. The connecting terminals are also very tight. Coupled with the mirror smooth finish, you can imagine what it can be like. Do you have hands which are oily/clammy? Good luck. Better find rubber gloves. They are tight. Have arthritis? Hope you live with someone who can lend a hand, or you'll need pliers. This can be a good thing, however. If the setup is going to be permanent/long-term, it's great to know that the connection is super solid. There are few things more aggravating than the intermittent cutting out of sound in one of your channels, and having to reach back there for anything, having to fidget around with all that because of a loose RCA with a less than optimal connection. If you think you're going to be messing with it often, um, maybe not the best choice? But also, you might not mind. For me, it's not pleasant, but sound quality makes up for it, and I won't be messing around with my setup anytime soon. In the end, I can't imagine anything more expensive could sound much "better", but again, I may be wrong, as I don't have much experience with super high-end stuff. I'm not going to pretend I know anything for sure. There are myths for everything, and I am no expert to deny, or confirm such "myths" in this field, especially without instruments to measure these and compare them with others to get objective data. However, they do sound fantastic. So, whatever that's worth to you...

I bought the SKW 0.5 meter analog RCA cables because they had great reviews and they where under $28.00. I usually use fiber optic cable as my interconnect of choice between my digital receiver and CD player. However, I just bought a new Tascam CD-200BT player that requires analog RCA cabling for the Bluetooth receiver feature to function properly. So, I decided to buy the best quality, yet affordable, cables. My research brought me to the SKW’s and I’m very happy with my choice. The construction and materials are first rate! The approximately 18” cables were a perfect length between my receiver and CD player. The connection fit was excellent, snug but not too tight. I auditioned my new Tascam CD player using the SKW’s and was very impressed with the sonic performance of these cables. I played a virgin copy of Robert Plant’s, “Carry Fire”, and the results were outstanding! I own a pair of classic ADS L810 Speakers(40 years old and still cranking!) renowned for their outstanding bass performance. I have never before heard bass response so low, clean and tight in these speakers, and I’ve always used decent interconnects. The mids and highs were also exceptional resulting in a well balanced sound and listening experience. It was like hearing a new and improved version of my L810’s. I’m sure the Tascam contributed here too, but the amazing bass response was all SKW. The only minor issue I had with these cables were they were not marked negative and positive at the plugs, so some tape labeling should be in order, especially with longer lengths. I highly recommend these cables; they’re high end performers at a low end price! If things should change over time, I will update my review.

I decided to buy one of these to see if it is equal to or an improvement to the longer cable I had to temporarily use for a higher end CD player as most manufacturers include either no cable or include inferior cables to connect to an integrated amp or similar. Granted, I stated with a similarly priced cable with similar characteristics -- Gold plated ends, nice grip on the connectors, very thick cables, insulated and shielded (but not braided like this). And the price of the cable I am using is $40 (with volume discounts, normally $80). It is used primarily for recording studios, and when I bought a few for the studio, I bought a few extras for home to get a volume discount. Now to these cables. Are they better than the higher end RCA cables I was using? It depends. I like that this cable is shorter (as I like clean aesthetics) and my spare RCA cables were 2m. I also like my older cable connectors as it has a better grip across the entire connector, and the entire connector is 24K gold plated. As old as the cables are, they still look brand new. I do like how stiff these cables are. Once you get it into the shape you want to connect your gear, it stays put. I am not a fan of the connector because it is glossy and has minimal grip. However, it does connect to the gear firmly, yet still easy to remove, if necessary. The overall build quality is very nice. It's definitely been well thought out, designed, and built. Now the sound of these cables are stellar. Comparing to my older high end cable, it sounds very similar. I didn't lose the details I am used to on the CD player or any other source I connected to. I still heard solid bass, clear crisp highs, and the midrange was as it was prior to swapping cables. The soundstage did not change, and still as wide as it was. Aside from the cable connections being less grippy, there is nothing bad I can say about these cables. It didn't affect my ability to swap out cables, nor did it degrade the sound. This is an amazing RCA cable for the price of under $30.00 for a 1m cable. I also like the fact that the left and right channels can be spread fairly wide. If you need to replace those cables included with Turntables (make sure to order a separate ground cable if you're turntable doesn't have a built-in preamp), CD players, or other devices, this is the best cable for the price. I have tried enough high end cables in recording studios/mastering studios I've worked out of to know that these are of equal audio quality compared to the extremely expensive RCA cables. Hope this helps.

Di ottima fattura, sono sodisfatto.

Suite à une mauvaise expérience avec un mauvais câble Primewire sur mon ampli à tubes, j'ai tenté le coup avec ce câble. Avec l'ancien câble, j'ai tout de suite senti que quelque chose clochait. Mes Klipsch fournissaient moins de basses et le bas médium était en retrait. Ce fût confirmé par des mesures. Tandis qu'à l'écoute je ressentais une certaine acidité dans le médium et des aigus manquants de finesse. J'ai entendu parlé des câbles avec conducteur en cuivre OCC et suis tombé sur celui ci. Franchement, je m'attendais pas à une grande différence, pensant que c'était l'acoustique de ma pièce ou mon ampli qui était en cause. Et bien non, c'était juste le câble de liaison entre mon préampli et mon ampli à tube qui dégradait sérieusement le signal audio. Avec ce SKW, les basses sont réapparues avec une puissance plus importante et une meilleure netteté. Quant au bas médium, les voix ont retrouvée ce côté charnue qui faisait défaut. Sur le reste du spectre, j'ai gagné en aération avec un aigu plus filé. En résumé, tout est parfaitement équilibré, contrairement à mes anciens câbles. Je n'ai pas comparé avec des câbles nettement plus chers. Car déjà, je n'en vois pas l'intérêt. Et que passé un certain stade, les prix s'envolent sans gain qualitatif. A mes yeux, ce câble est excellent. La qualité audio et de fabrication ne souffre d'aucun reproche. C'est du sérieux ! Aucun soucis à y relier des éléments haut de gamme. Comme je le disais, j'utilise en ampli à tube. La différence qualitative est flagrante avec mes précédents câbles. Oui, il y a des différences de qualité à l'écoute entre les câbles. Tout du moins entre un mauvais câble qui dégrade le signal et un autre qui fait en sorte de le respecter au maximum. Néanmoins, il ne faut pas tomber pour autant dans l'excès. Pas la peine de mettre une fortune quand des câbles. Après tout, ce que l'on demande à un câble, c'est de dégrader le moins possible le signal. Et le SKW rempli très bien ce rôle pour un prix raisonnable. Si à l'avenir je dois acheter d'autre câbles, je prendrais cette marque sans hésiter. Je le recommande vivement :)

He estado probando distintos cables RCA. Y éstos sin lugar a dudas son los mejores que haya comprado. El sonido el muy claro y definido, incluso en algunas canciones se escuchan voces e instrumentos que con otros cables jamás había escuchado. Compré tanto el Toslink como los RCA de SKW.

Trying to keep my speaker cables as short as possible I needed a 2M phono cable to link my phono stage with the amp (so my turntable can be at a good distance from the speakers) and took a gamble on these cables due to the reviews and description. I was keen to get cables that hopefully minimised interference etc and the screening looked like these should be worth a try. They took a few days to get here but when they arrived the first thing I noticed is that they look pretty robust and a good deal of care had gone in to their making. So, once connected up and turned everything on I was relieved to not have any increase in noise, no unwanted buzzes etc. So, sound wise, they are excellent. I can't directly compare as I haven't got an alternate pair of cables to A/B with but the improvement in reducing the speaker cables to several feet each (power amp between the speakers) and running a longer cable from phono stage (EAR Phonobox) and amp (ATC P2) was a noticeable improvement. Nothing crazy but just sounds fatter and nicer. I'd say they are well worth the money and don't think spending any more on any super fancy cables would be noticeably better but as I say, can't say for sure as I don't have a bunch to run scientific tests :-)
