In Reply to: Could you please inform the connections used for playback? posted by bjh on June 29, 2007 at 04:34:37:
tt --> phono input = RCADAC --> preamp = RCA (my DAC not used for this event, John's CDP used his RCA),
record out --> Alesis Masterlink = RCA/XLR conversion cable (John's own)
pre --> power amp = BNC (8 meter proprietary 50 ohm 'Zeel' cable)
'Zeel' is simply a word used to describe darTZeel's own set of BNC cables. Herve Delatraz wrote an article in Stereophile (i think Sept 2001) prior to the initial intro of his first commercial amplifier regarding how impedence affects cables. his pre and amp are designed to have perfect 50 ohm impedence from the 'Zeel' connectors. this cable is said to sound identically whether 1 meter or .5 kilometers.
