I suggest you get the least expensive cable you can afford and call it a day. No - it needs or would benefit from certain things. Assuming the impedance is within reason, it will need corrosion resistance (gold plate) and good contact. The latter may be achieved by split ends. Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 Looks like WBT assembles the Gotham items... I mean "lovingly assembles" - sounds like somebody is a chef... I do like the diagonal slits in the outer parts. Link to comment

Ralf11 Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 Sure - but only if you want to get rid of them. I can get the $25 ones from Amazon or the $5 ones from Amazon - it's a de minimus purchase. Link to comment

Thinking more about it - maybe an undergrad. in a lab near you has a stereo and would like them? or I can pm you my address... Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 you don't seem to understand cost vs. SQ -- or maybe are having a reading context problem at any rate, please butt out of this thread christopher3393 1 Link to comment

A drain wire doesn't go amiss to help keep the dreaded ground loop at bay... examples of brands with those characteristics? Link to comment

Ralf11 Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 Last time - please stop polluting this thread, genieboy. Go post elsewhere if you want. Start your own hate thread if that is what your shrink thinks will help you. wgscott 1 Link to comment
Ralf11 Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 I have completed several hours of listening with long (10 ft.) RCA interconnects on this new amp, and am not hearing any hum, noise, etc. So, I don't think I need shielding that is unusually good. I will order some 3 or 4 ft. long cables which will allow me to put the new amp inside my old, Retro Motorola stereo cabinet and that will let the robo-vac get in there and clean the floor.

Those things emit so much Emi it reverberates for hours afterwards. 😉 It doesn't run when the stereo is on. BTW, the thing is well worth $50. Link to comment
