Interconnect Cables From Emotiva

[RoadRunner6]

So RR have you got the cable yet??? IF so what do you think?

Frenchmon, let me say first that I ordered a few initial IC's to check out the construction and appearance. My entire system is in a state of flux. I'm waiting for the availability of the Emotiva top of the line pre/pro, XMC-1, $999. The UMC-1, $699, was just announced today as being in official production. So it is going to be several months before I'm able to do much actual testing when I get the XMC-1 installed. I'm just in the process of retiring and recovering from more surgery. Needless to say, in the next few months I'll have much more time to spend on my HT/MC music system.

I have receivied my original order and will put in an addtional order before the end of the month for what I need including RCA's (25% off for established customers). I got a 1 m HDMI, 1 m Component, 1 m Toslink and two .5 m XLR, all in the top of the line X-Series. The cost was $105 shipped free. I have decided to use RCA and return the XLR due to a general change in strategy. The XLR cables are simply beautiful in appearance. I need the component/toslink for my DVD-R. Packaging is excellent as always with Emo. The general build quality, fit, finish and appearance is outstanding in my opinion. I might have to get used to the flat style HDMI cable. The outter nylon braided sleeve is very tough and looks like it would withstand a lot of abuse while still looking attractive. The cables are on the thick and stiff side, not surprising to me from the apparent construction quality.

Sorry, I have had no time to check performance. I plan to do some A/B blind testing when I get time with the Emo RCA versus my Audioquest RCA on my ERC-1 CDP.

Now that sounds interesting, please share the results.
