Hi everyone!

I'd like to connect my portable Minidisc player to my future Musical Fidelity X-Can V2 headphone amp.

Wich cable to choose? I though about the
Monster 400 MKII, seems to be good. And the price is what I
wanted to spend, about 30€/$.

Do you know other similar products ? ? ?

Thanks a lot, all the best,

Sandro.

Check out www.zucable.com , they have a mini to rca. If you look on eBay, they are selling their cables for much cheaper than their website.

The mini-rca in brand new.

I've read very good reviews of their Oxyfuel cables in other threads. I'll probably pick up a pair soon.

got the pivot yesterday , sleek looking cable too.
i got nothing to compare it to but i did some experimentation:
i am just an audio enthusiast / not an audiophile , and these are just my opinion on my short observation between these cables.

i used my pcdp sony D2 , line out , 9v power adapter
HD 575
porta corda 2 , 9v battery new.

compared the stock oehlbach mini to mini , and the zu pivot 1.5 meter and i terminated the RCA part of the zu pivot with a ratshack mini to female RCA adapter to get a mini termination frm the other end of the zu pivot.

i used only 2 songs:
steely dan 2 against nature , track 4 , 0-25 seconds only
dave matthews band - crash ,track 6 0-25 seconds only
(i use 0-25 seconds so i can have a good memory of the songs, instruments and passages )

i find the zu cable full , richer in sound , has more midbass .

to give you a comparison - figure wise:
id say the stock porta corda cables are 80-85%, the zu will be 100%
