Why is it that my Rega P2 has some rather shoddy looking RCA cables/jacks attached to it, rather than just have standard I/O jacks that one can attach their onw IC's to ? My Rega hasn't been used. Sat in its box for the past year waiting for me to buy a new receiver and such. So as I was about to order a set of IC's from Blue Jeans for it, I rememberd seeing that it had a pair of RCA cables attached already.
Looking at them, they seem like extremely low budget Rat Shack type connector cables, and it got me thinking about how so many people claim that in order to get x or y sound signature, the right interconnect must be applied etc.. But in this case, I have no choice, and if a lot of the sound's presentation is going to be hindered by some crap cable that was supplied by the company of a supposedly very good TT, then what's the point ?
I guess I'm more towards believing that a lot of the IC speak is a lot of hype. I have another theory as well, but would rather not say because it would just allow for the justification of the hype. So if someone nails it on the head, I'll say it's what I was thinking and will also assume that there may be truth in the theory as well.
Thoughts ?
