So, bought an interconnect and splitters. From a german store that's specialized to empty CDs, DVDs. Nierle.de.

The names say nothing to me.
[size=xx-small] 1 x No. 8094(EUR 4.99) Cable Cinch (RCA) Professional 5 m - gold plated, blue, double shielded, remote wire
2 x No. 8079(EUR 1.59) Professional Y-Cable Cinch (RCA), 1x male to 2x female 0.2 m[/size]
I want to show you another nonamey maker, Sssnake. Sssnake's Thomann.de's own brand and they look somewhat fancy.

I got the Nierle cables just today, the Sssnake's been around some time (got them with Juli@). The earlier IC I've used is Belkin PureAV mini to 2xRCA.
So, the reason I show these off? I don't think these are very known. Sssnakes certainly aren't. These all are very inexpensive and have slight differences. What I've noted: Sssnakes sound bit thin, just a little bit, comparing to Belkin. I chose the Belkin (although it being a mini-2rca cable, I had to use a 2rca-mini adapter) for a long time but now I got those nice looking RCA splitters so I want to see these settings .. before hitting back to the belkin.
I've been listening to Vivaldi's Winter (the best Vivaldi season btw. Very nice and aggressive.) and soon about to change the new Cable Cinch to it. It's a short listening set. Winter and some bass with Bass Boom's Bass Zone. The bass is something I need, too bad. I'm trying to get used to some detail as I'm practically wanting more detail than bass. The HD650 is maybe a bad choice then, but it's not the point here.
Now the Cinch is on. What would I say... the sound is generally juicier than the Sssnake. This has the bass like Belkin PureAV has. Vivaldi's Winter has some extra freeziness in it. The bells ring out better, maybe. Now the Bass Zone. I might even say the Sssnake loses some to the way, this sounds like a good cable should sound.
Belkin gives somewhat louder volume than Sssnake, what's the catch? Lower resistance?
There's Sssnake, Belkin and Cable Cinch. Sssnake's are 1.8 m, Belkin is 1.8 m and Cable Cinch is 5 m. It is maybe lengthy to interconnect two pieces one metre far.
I choose Cable Cinch. Do I? It's practically the same as Belkin. Belkin's just 3 m shorter, but on the other hand it has a mini plug on the other end so it is potentially crossing the channels. This rig of mine is not good enough to give me that kind of detail I'd hear that any better.
Do you have any experience from these cheap cables? Especially if someone has Belkin or Sssnake. I've heard one comment about Sssnake being crappy.
