I'll apologise in advance, especially as I dont want to start any cable wars, but, ive recently bought some ic's that are at the lowest end of the price scale, and yet they equal others Ive had that cost £600 a metre, and £330. (BR Oratorio, and Chord Anthem)
The low priced NVA Sound Cords came into my posession via a swop when I sold on my Opera Consonance xlr cdp, and took them in against some xlr's.
To say I was astounded was a bit of an understatement, the bottom end especially!
Now, like most audiofools, I though, well, if these are so good, the Sound Pipes, must be better, and having contacted Richard Dunn, who posts here regularly, to ask what the major differences would be when going "up the ladder", I bought some SP's.
Problem was, when they arrived, they were actually too short, and, being of a solid type construction, it meant I had to shift all my kit around in the rack to ge them to reach the two items I needed to join.
The following morning swmbo arrived back from her flight, and was not impressed at how the place looked, and suggested to me(ordered me), to put it back as it was.
I did as ordered (suggested) with the intention of buying longer SP's, except, when I had re connected the Sound Cords, the sound I witnessed was stunning, better to my ears than the dearer Sound Pipes, ( if the buyer of my Pipes is reading this...........sorry!) but, for some reason, synergy maybe, the cheap humble Sound Cord was just so....................right!
They are currently the silly price on e bay of £9.99 for 0.7 m, which I recall means they have a 70% discount, and, as the firm have a money back deal going, I would suggest you give a pair a try, its hardly going to break the bank!
