Supra USB 2.0 are good value for money and sound decent.

A porn magazine from the 80s.

Chord Chrysalis has long been out of production but I guess you can buy second hand and try it. The Chord C-Line interconnect is very transparent for a budget cable, or try the Chord Clearway for more of what the C-Line can offer.

Agreed, and the Rega Couple 2 interconnect is a favourite of mine.

System synergy is always interesting as Rega amps are generally good all rounders (I know the Elex-R and Brio amps well).

Sounds like the 606s are more transparent than the 685 S2, which to some people can come across as a clear but less warm presentation. I have never heard the 685 S2s so just going by possible thoughts.

I wouldn’t count the B&W 606s out as you can use the foam bungs to tune the port and have them closer to a wall. Mine are positioned fairly close to the wall (4 inches and no foam bungs) In my lounge and they sound really good.

I have my 606s connected to a Rotel pre and power combination and an Arcam source which work well although they were relatively thin and bright at first out of the box.

Hi Matt, Did you think they were significantly better than the 605 S2?

Hello All, I am finding my new B&W 606 speakers to be quite remarkable for their price. Very rhythmic, dynamic and transparent. Anyone else impressed by these speakers?

I have a couple of the Wireworld Ultraviolet USB cables myself and have tried as alternatives - Supra USB 2.0 - good cable but bass not as firm as the ultraviolet but overall a good budget USB cable. Chord Company C-USB - found this to be slightly brighter in tone but no better. I haven’t...

For me has to be - Marantz CD63 KISig Naim CDX2

Yes, I have done this many times and it makes the sound between the high and low frequencies sound more integrated if using the same cable as a jumper and more depth and texture to the high frequencies.... imo of course....

Agreed. Worth looking at.

Fair enough. I did read somewhere else about reliability issues with iFi psu’s but personally haven’t owned one long enough or experienced a failure for it to be an issue. Maybe the latest generation of iPowers are more robust???
