I tried a Carter marine electric choke on my IEM cable and it made no diff at all. It did make the cable a bit heavier and unwieldy.

I tried some of these a good while back on some AC cords and RCA interconnects. On the power cords, despite my best efforts I couldn't tell any difference regardless of the cord or positioning. I see these built-in to a lot of SMPS cords (on the DC end), so perhaps there is some benefit with a DC signal (or maybe just SMPS-converted DC). On the interconnects, I thought I heard some difference depending on the cable, but it was pretty minor and if anything it wasn't an improvement -- seemed to take some sparkle and air out of the treble. A lot could be dependent on the geometry of the wire lay, and possibly the external noise level in the environment (RFI, EMI, etc). Certainly doesn't hurt anything to try them on the HP cable though.

Any experience with the Mogami for interconnect ? any specific model ? 2534, 2964, 2549 ?
Termination maybe Eminence or Amphenol

Say no more....it's on the way. It was $4.99, so don't ever call me a cheapskate.

This is more like what I usually receive.

Here is the connector I generally use with things like 2549 but Amphenol is my second choice.

These are pretty specialized but they are specially made to maintain the ground connection as the last thing that touches when you disconnect the cable. I can hot swap with no pop, not that I do that real often, but on occasion I might.

This collection is worth lots of tubes

You probably installed it backwards.

The one on the right was sold in England and one of 300 bottles produced. Oh and I received a very nice bottle of cognac from a gentleman here as well. My son's birthday is soon and I generally send him this if I cannot think of anything better.

Great Of course Neutrik , only thought the Eminence is a higher grade from Amphenol as it is a bit more expensive.

Hoarder.

Hopefully it tickled your Cognac connoisseur palate.

Well...remember Ian Dury and the Blockheads song ? drugs, rock-N-Roll and something else I forgot
So booze is a solid part of our hobby

 

[Ripper2860]

@bcowen sent me a 6-pack of Michelob Utra. (with 2 beers missing, btw.) A true testament to 'it's the thought that counts'.

I did not appreciate the thought.

 

[therremans]

I will be using these with some Neotech interconnect cable. Just have to wait until I have my other desk before I build, since the Darkvoice will be able to sit closer to my DAC.

KLEI RCA Connectors

It really was quite nice, maybe @bcowen will learn from your example but it is highly doubtful lol.
