Re: Interconnect help

The SHB is inded a great interconnect, I had one for a wee while. 

It was the best I'd heard until I got a hold of a Hitachi LC-OFC interconnect.

A cheapie, oldie but a goodie.

 

Bettered the SHB in many ways; it did what it did, but better.

Problem is they are pretty hard to get hold of I understand.

Re: Interconnect help

I've never bothered with terminated cables, so I guess because of oxidation that this is not ideal, but having just ordered some of the speaker cable, is it essential to get them terminated? Or will they still work to theor potential with bare wire ends?

Interesting thread, Ive just ordered SHB 2 interconnector and SHB speaker cable, just wondering how this compares to the Chord company chameleon silver plus interconnect and the Chord silverscreen speaker cable???


Any insight most welcome.

Re: Interconnect help

Got curious and ordered a pair of SHB I/Cs too... will report back the differences between SHB and Chameleon Silver Plus when I get them (and 'run them in').

Re: Interconnect help

On a more serious note, I am using a pair of chord cobra interconects between the Cyrus and the K2. I did have 2 pairs, but one of the cables developed a fault and no longer transmit any signal, and since I lost the receipt have done nothing about replacing them, so an expensive waste of money. The pair that I am using do not have the tightest fitting phono plugs, nowwhere near as snug as the Cambridge audio I/C's I use for my cassette deck and DVD player. I am wondering if the SHB's would give a noticeable difference to the Cobra's within my system.

Re: Interconnect help

like someone already said, it's a no brainer - it's cheap and has 7-day money back guarantee. Worth a try.

Or try the chunky cable Spacehopper mentioned earlier in the thread. Again a money back guarantee - I bought some and I think they're very good.

 Synergy 2 conductors: 3 x 24awg solid core silver-plated copper compared to the standard Synergy which has 2 x 24awg.

Re: Interconnect help

Dare I utter the name Gotham in these quaters, could it just be the same snowballing hype?

Might give one a try though, they do look very well made. It also looks like they have similar teminations as the atlas range, very tight fitting

Re: Interconnect help

Well, I have just fixed a problem of soundstage imbalance, or at least found the rot problem, on my previous system and this one, the right channel seems ever so slightly less bright than the left, causing the soundstage to move to the left. It's really irritating, so I swapped over the chord cobra interconnects as one seems quite a sloppy fit, though none of their plugs can be described as a snug, let alone tight fit. Sure enough its shifted the sound stage to the right, so this is the 2nd pair of dodgy cobra interconnectes that I have. Am seriously unimpressed, hopefully the SHB's will be an improvement, even if all they are is better balanced.
