{"title":"Cables \u0026 Connectors","description":"\u003cp\u003eCables and connectors are the lines through which power and signal flow between your hi-fi and home cinema components — from the wall socket via source and amplifier to the speaker terminal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy good cables?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cable can't turn a weak system into a good one — but a bad cable can hold a good system back. Wobbly connectors, cross-sections too thin over long runs, poorly shielded lines right next to the mains: all avoidable. Solid cables simply make sure the signal arrives the way it was sent, and that the connection still holds in ten years. The rest is up to the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat matters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat counts is that the cable suits the job: the right type (speaker, RCA, XLR, digital, HDMI, mains, network, USB), the right length and proper connectors. Better one neatly made-up cable in the right length than three metres coiled up behind the rack. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil we make speaker and interconnect cables to length, and tell you honestly where an upgrade actually helps and where your money is better spent on a speaker or a source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it's for — and straight talk\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom your first clean setup to a full-blown high-end chain: cables are the foundation everything else stands on. If you're building a new system, swapping a device, or finally want to tame the cable clutter behind the rack, you're in the right place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStraight talk:\u003c\/strong\u003e cables are the field with the biggest promises and the smallest guaranteed miracles. A good cable is a sensible, long-lasting investment — a cable that transforms your entire system is not something we'll sell you. We'll tell you where the audible difference realistically lies and where the marketing begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVerdict:\u003c\/strong\u003e buy as much cable as your system deserves — no more, no less. Right type, right length, solid connectors. If you're unsure which cross-section or connection belongs in your setup, just ask us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich cables do I need for my system?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat depends on your devices: speaker cable between amplifier and box, RCA or XLR cable between components, digital or HDMI cable for streamer, DAC and TV, plus mains cable for power. Send us your equipment list, and we'll put together the right cabling for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo expensive cables really sound audibly better?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp to a solid level, yes; beyond that it quickly becomes a matter of taste and belief. Cross-section, shielding and good connectors are demonstrably relevant. But the jump from solid to expensive is much smaller than the jump from cheap to solid. We advise based on your system, not the price tag.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long can speaker cables be?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor normal living-room lengths up to about five metres per side, a sensible cross-section works fine. More important than sheer length is that both sides are as equal in length as possible and the cross-section matches the distance. For longer runs, we make up the cable to fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between RCA and XLR?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXLR transmits the signal balanced and is less prone to interference over long runs and in electrically noisy environments. RCA is the common standard and present on almost every device. If your device has XLR connections and longer distances are involved, XLR is worth it. Otherwise RCA does its job flawlessly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo you make cables to length?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. We make speaker and interconnect cables to the length you want, with the right connectors, neatly soldered or crimped. That way you get exactly the length you need, without coiled-up excess behind the rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy cables at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause from years of practice we know where a cable upgrade really helps and where it doesn't — and we'll tell you so.

Unpack, plug in, done — the unglamorous first step away from the nameless bundled wire that's been aging behind the sideboard for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Q-2?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt its core sits a solid LGC conductor, around which eleven finer LGC strands spiral — AudioQuest calls this Solid+ Concentric. The trick: the strands keep their position relative to each other instead of constantly touching and letting go as in an ordinary stranded wire. Less strand interaction, fewer grain boundaries, less of the slightly rough hardness that budget cables tend to bring along. The Low-Inductance Twisted-Pair layout additionally keeps inductance low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo ready-made 3 m lengths in a flat PVC jacket that can be run under carpet edges and behind baseboards, plus SureGrip-100 banana plugs with a directly silver-plated contact surface and no nickel interlayer.

Every grain boundary is a tiny transition where the signal is minimally disturbed. The fewer of those lie along the run, the calmer and less distorted the music arrives at the speaker — audibly, above all, as less hardness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo the banana plugs fit my amplifier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the vast majority of cases, yes — banana jacks are the standard on amplifiers and speakers.

It does nothing for speakers with only one pair of terminals, with permanently soldered bridges, or when the existing cable is simply too thin.

The third conductor carries no operating current — it acts as a drain path for high-frequency dirt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the NRG-Y2?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause small digital sources need little current but generate and pick up plenty of radio-frequency noise. A two-pin cable has nowhere to send that dirt; it stays inside the device. The NRG-Y2 gives it a way out. Add to that direction-controlled Long-Grain Copper conductors in a semi-concentric arrangement, shielding, and AudioQuest's ZERO-Tech, which doesn't impose a characteristic impedance on the cable.

Honestly: if your device has a three-pin C13 input, the Y2 is the wrong order — then reach for the NRG-Y3 instead.

The extra conductor serves as a drain path for high-frequency dirt that your streamer would otherwise have to keep to itself. Nothing changes at the device end — it still takes the ordinary two-pin C7 coupler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this safe from an electrical standpoint?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The cable is factory-terminated and routes the ground conductor to the shield, not into the device chassis. Your device continues to run electrically exactly as the manufacturer intended. You're simply plugging a better-built cable into the same socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the extra cost over the NRG-X2 worth it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your device sits in an electrically noisy environment, yes.

One to two meters covers most setups; you'll need three meters if the outlet sits behind the sideboard. Power cables run too taut are mechanically the most common cause of loose contacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy get the NRG-Y2 at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause before selling it, we check whether your device even has a C7 socket — otherwise that mix-up costs you a return.

That's exactly what the Thunder is built for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Thunder?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the Storm series takes a different approach to conductor construction than everything below it. Instead of many strands, the Thunder uses solid-core conductors of Long-Grain Copper and Perfect-Surface Copper – 11 AWG for the current-carrying cores, 12 AWG for the earth. Solid conductors have no strand interaction, because there are no strands. Add to that the active 72-volt DBS, ZERO-Tech for uncompressed current transients, and patented ground-noise dissipation. The conductors are installed direction-controlled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDynamics without strain. The bass gains foundation and control at the same time, drums sound faster without getting thinner, and loud passages stay clear and organized.

Plainly put: on a streamer or DAC, the Thunder is wasted; there, fine polish matters more than headroom, and the NRG-Z3 or Monsoon are the smarter choice.

It doesn't work the other way round: a normal C13 cable won't plug into a C16 socket. That makes this version of the Thunder broadly usable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy solid conductors instead of stranded ones?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause in a bundle of strands, neighboring cores influence each other and the current jumps between them. A solid conductor doesn't have this problem. The price for that is a stiffer cable – allow some bend radius when routing it so the connector isn't under tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Thunder really worth it on a power amp?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat's where it pays off most. A power amp demands a lot of current in a very short time on transients; any bottleneck before it costs control in the bass. A cable with large cross-section and solid conductors removes that bottleneck. The effect is clearly audible on powerful amplifiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the Thunder and the Blizzard?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's in the conductor construction and the intended use. The Blizzard, from the Wind series, uses semi-solid PSC+ conductors and aims for refinement. The Thunder belongs to the Storm series, uses solid LGC and PSC conductors, and is built for high currents. A different job, not simply more effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the Thunder at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause high-current cabling to a power amp has to match, and the connector has to be right – your device decides C15 or C19, not the catalog.

Frequency response isn't the issue here – any cable can manage that. What matters are two other things, and they concern long runs in particular: interference resistance and ground connection. Between the amplifier and subwoofer hang two devices on two power outlets; hum loops and picked-up high frequency are the norm here, not the exception. A continuously shielded cable with proper geometry and the included ground wire clean up exactly this problem. The Black Lab isn't necessary if your subwoofer sits right next to the amplifier and nothing hums anyway. It's very worthwhile as soon as the sub sits on the other side of the room – and essential if you already know that dull mains hum coming out of the sub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Black Lab is the sensible base equipment for the run to the subwoofer: correctly built, correctly shielded, with a ground wire in the box.

The eARC and ground-reference conductors carry 10% silver, the four AV data pairs sit at Cinnamon level with 1.25% silver instead of Forest level.

Fiber optics doesn't have this problem: the Root Beer 18 converts the AV signals into light in the connector, transmits them over the fiber, and converts them back at the other end. In between, the run is galvanically isolated and picks up neither ground loops nor interference from Wi-Fi, mobile networks or dimmers.

Each bridge measures roughly 13 centimeters and has gold-plated RCA connectors at both ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardly any component is so reliably overlooked – probably because most owners have never consciously looked at it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Pre-Out and Main-In actually are\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn integrated amplifier internally consists of two devices: the preamp, which selects sources and controls the volume, and the power amp, which turns that into power for the speakers. Many manufacturers bring both sections out to the back panel – Pre-Out is the preamp's output, Main-In the power amp's input. That lets you insert a separate power amp or an external sound processor between them later. As long as you don't do that, the connection needs to stay closed, and two small metal straps come included from the factory for exactly that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy these straps get in the way\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe entire music signal between preamp and power amp passes through them – at a low-level point where any interference gets amplified along with the signal later on. A stamped piece of sheet metal is the cheapest conceivable component for this. The PreAmp-Jumper puts a solid, direction-controlled PSC+ conductor with polyethylene air-tube insulation and gold-plated contacts in that exact same spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the PreAmp-Jumper for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor any integrated amplifier or receiver with separate Pre-Out\/Main-In sockets on the back panel. Honestly: if that separation is missing, there's simply nothing to replace – and on some devices the bridge sits internally, in which case it stays where it is. A look at the back panel or the manual clarifies this in a minute, and we're happy to take a look with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo modification, no tools, no warranty risk – just pull off two straps and plug in two proper conductors. The effect is fine-tuning, not a new device, and it's more noticeable on high-resolution systems than on compact ones. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil, we'll tell you beforehand whether your amplifier is even built for this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical data\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e preamp bridge for Pre-Out\/Main-In\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConductor:\u003c\/strong\u003e solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInsulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e polyethylene air-tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnection type:\u003c\/strong\u003e RCA, plug to plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnector coating:\u003c\/strong\u003e gold-plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength per bridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e roughly 13 cm (5 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation:\u003c\/strong\u003e plug-in, no soldering, no opening the device\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrerequisite:\u003c\/strong\u003e amplifier with separate Pre-Out and Main-In sockets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 bridges (for the left and right channel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I tell if my amplifier has Pre-Out and Main-In?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook at the back panel: two pairs of RCA sockets next to each other, labeled Pre-Out and Main-In and connected by small U-shaped metal straps – that's the spot you're looking for. If you don't find any such straps, the connection is resolved internally and the jumper won't do anything for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy are there two bridges in the set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause stereo has two channels. One bridge goes to the left channel, one to the right. That's all you need for a classic integrated amplifier. With multi-channel receivers that have Pre-Out for every channel, the requirement rises according to the number of bridged paths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I lose my amplifier's warranty by doing this?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. You don't open anything or modify the device – you're just swapping out an accessory part that's accessible from outside. Keep the original straps anyway: on a later resale, they're part of the included scope, and for a service case, you'll want the device in its as-delivered state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy get the PreAmp-Jumper from HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we check first whether your model even offers that separation, instead of just shipping it out.
