I'm weighing up the addition of a 5 pound twin rca to 3.5 cable with an adaptor total cost 7 pounds vs a cable ready made from from chord co. Once the cable is visual on their site things will lead to a clearer way forward but what about the epic?
Rob mentions a cheap rca cable will do.....
I've been a Chord Co. customer for a few decades and have always been impressed with the sound their cables produce and the build-quality, personally speaking I would fully recommend the Brand but if you prefer something cheaper so be it, I'm not going to judge your choices, your ears can do that lil' chore.
a couple of points to consider... firstly, Chord have worked with Chord Co. to produce cable(s) that will connect & compliment various Chord products such as Hugo-2>Mscaler, Blu/Mscaler>Dave etc., no doubt many Customers will be happy that they can match Chord Co. cables with existing ones in their systems... as for photo's of the cables, I spoke to a real helpful guy called Chris at Chord Co., he said they were in the processes of getting photo's done though it will be a while longer before they appear on the website. Maybe best to use your imagination in the meantime like I tried, I shut my eyes and imagined a Y-shape and went from there, the cable-junction was a tad confusing as I didn't know whether to go 'L' or 'R' so I 'jacked it in' in the end.
Rob makes his own cables because he's a clever guy, even uses a drill to twist the cables for the 'professional' look... but if you actually work out the price of the materials and the cost of Rob's time, you're looking at upwards of £10k for a pair of RCA's so by comparison, Chord Co. cables are a absolute bargain, that said, cables are a subjective conversation, some will swear benefits others will decry them... my own experience tells me that I saw a benefit when I upgraded my Chord Co. speaker cables but you also have to consider I upgraded my speakers at same time, you could call it a 'chicken & egg' scenario but I really don't care where the improvements stemmed from, my system sounded better, and my ears agree that's all that mattered in the end.
you'll only work out what's best for you by trial & error, no-one has your ears... good luck with your journey.
