Well I decided to give my qed original speaker cables a treat by actually terminating them with some of these banana plugs.
They are deadbolt types so no soldering needed.
Very good they are as well, £11 for 6 pairs.
Guess what?
The sound is exactly the same as when they were bare wires!
Saves me re-terminating them once a year though.
Also I recently decided to buy a previously enjoyed Marantz 6000 OSE cdp and use it into my Cambridge audio streammagic 6 as a transport.
I have been listening to the same albums either from the analogue outputs of the Marantz, as a transport via its digital out and streamed flac files from a usb plugged directly into the streammagic 6.
Very hard to distinguish any real differences.
Certainly would fail miserably in a blind test.
It all sounds great though so I can’t be deaf.
I also acquired a Khozmo passive pre recently and it is utterly transparent, I love it.
TL Edit: Amazon link.
