Belden 8402 RCA Stereo Interconnect Cables 3ft Pair - Natural High Fidelity Sound for Your Hi Fi Stereo System (Connects: CD Player Streamer Amplifier DAC Turntable Preamplifier)

Looking for some warmth and 3D pop from you high end system...give this a try. This is my favorite interconnect under $1000 for a high rez tube system. I have this between my PS Audio DirectStream DAC & My Sophia Electric 126S-05 Integrated Amp. Using this between $16000 of equipment and this interconnect held its own. The interconnect worked just as well on a lower end system between a Denafrips Ares DAC and a Vintage Sansui AU-717. I could not find anything negative about this cable. The best description would be pleasantly warm sound. So everyone is asking in their minds about how it compares to mega bucks cable..well it should not at its price point LOL. However in my system it does very well...MAYBE ITS JUST GREAT SYNERGY.. My mega buck cables are better but not by a lot. I have nothing negative to say about this cable. Sure in a few months I'll be wanted more here or there but that's me and my nature ( all our nature's as audiophiles I suppose) .

When I got these I did not inspect them. Plugged them in and they worked fine. I was installing a new usb cable and rubbed this one and my one speakers made a scratching noise. So I looked at the rca end and saw it was not screwed all the way in. So I returned it. I was out of the return window but Amazon got me 80 percent of my money back. If you buy these I’d inspect them top to bottom. There quality control is not so good apparently.

Cant believe what a difference these "value" cables make in my system. I say "value" based on its extremely low costs but these Tuneful Cables actually replaced both Kimber Kable Hero's and most recently Synergistic Research Foundations. The cables are used in my turntable to pre phono to int amp application. Both Kimber and SR had hum issues and this is with using a ground cable. I also tested a pair of SR Foundation Phono Cables w/the built in ground and still there was hum. And these cables are $700 a 1M pair!. Turns out the Tuneful cables employ shielding that eliminates all hum. All of this for $70 or so and the overall audio from these cables are right up there w/both of the more expensive cables. I am so happy that I am going to sell my SR Foundation speaker cables for the Tuneful speaker cables. You cant go wrong! Youll save a ton of dough and get quality sound from these cables at a steal of a deal!

I was on the fence about spending more money on pricy cables, these are still low price if your comparing them to other audiophile cables. The change in sound compared to my other cables was astonishing. Much more warmer mid bass and deeper bass, and the treble was smoother and not as bright. If you have a bright pair of speakers or your electronics are bright, these will bring them into perspective. I'm still testing them, and will probably use them for a few weeks and then switch to a set of mogami cables that I bought to compare. For now they sound great on my system. I'm not sure of the physics of why different cables change the sound quality, but these will. The construction and rca connectors are top notch as well.

These are the cables I've been searching for to match my system for years. I have many, many sets of interconnects, RCA and balanced, costing from $60 to more than $1,000 a pair and these have hit the sweet spot for me. They are not too bright in the top end and well controlled and full in the bass. My experience with cables is that they act essentially as tone controls, some rolled off at higher or lower frequencies, some shrill and some dull sounding. If you have speakers that are a bit too bright or harsh in the upper end, these work very well without losing midrange detail or bass definition. I came across these Belden 8402's ,originally intended for microphone cables, being reviewed on "A British Audiophile" on youtube and I thought I'd give them a try as they are quite inexpensive. I'm glad I did.

In the past I've been in the cables are "Snake Oil" camp. I've used quite a few of the so called audiophile grade cables and never heard a difference in one or the other. After reading about these cables I bit the bait and decided to give em a try. For the 1st time, I can definitely hear a change in sound quality. These Belden cables really do "Rock" with my system. I don't know or really care if it's all in my head. All I know is that these well made cables sound much better to my ears than any other cables I've ever used. I highly recommend them!

My system: Technics SL 1500 (copper platter mat, Audio-Technica AT-VM95ML/H, ca 1967 Fisher 400, ProJect DS2 Tube Box phono, Heresy IV speakers. I upgraded an older set of RCA's to these Tuneful's because I love the my Belden 9497 speaker wire so much and thought these would be a good compliment. And!!! Oh so right!!! Immediately heard more crisp symbols, claps and vocal resonance. I actually had to dial down both bass and treble on my amplifier. Wow!!!

I have an $18k system (built up over time) and was never really happy with it; and then this cable with Switchcraft 3502, seemed to transform it completely. It took out some harshness at the top end and made it much more relaxing. Best and cheapest component of the system
