for the DIY Silver Interconnects


Wow,
I thought the claim that these beat $800 interconnects might have just been advertising.
I was wrong.
I happened to have a pre-amp with 2 outputs, and an amp with 2 inputs (Berning) that I could switch between by simply flipping the switch.
I connected the DIY Silver interconnect and a very well known ~$900 pair of interconnects and compared them.
There was almost no difference between the 2 pairs!

The only downside is they are not shielded and picked up noise when connected between my phono stage and pre-amp.

Product Weakness: Kind of a pain to build the first time, but it gets easier with practice. Not shielded, can pick up noise in a vinyl set up.
Product Strengths: Outstanding value
