{"title":"Analog Cables","description":"\u003cp\u003eAnalog cables are all the leads that carry an analog music signal: speaker cables, RCA\/phono and XLR cables, turntable (phono) cables and headphone jack cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy good analog cables?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cable is the connection between your components – and the weakest link in the chain determines how much makes it through in the end. A good analog cable doesn't sound “better” than physically possible, but it ensures clean contact, sufficient cross-section and solid shielding, so nothing is lost and no interference creeps in. A cable can't turn a mediocre system into a good one – but a bad cable can hold a good one back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you'll find here\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll the analog connections are here in one place: speaker cables (from our own HD ONE and HD TWO through ViaBlue to AudioQuest), RCA and XLR cables for connecting sources and amplifiers, shielded phono cables for the turntable, and jack cables for headphones and mobile sources. Everything is here, from Rega cable by the metre to high-end runs. We custom-make speaker cables to measure at HD Zürisee in Wädenswil – in the exact length, with the connectors that suit your system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it's for – and straight talk\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the first stereo setup to a high-end chain: decent analog cables belong in every system. Honestly – the free black cable out of the box did its job, but it was never meant as the final solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStraight talk:\u003c\/strong\u003e Solid build quality, the right construction and matching connectors get you most of the way there. The premium for exotic materials only pays off in very high-resolution chains and for trained ears. If the foundation isn't there yet, your money is better spent on speakers or the source – we'll tell you that honestly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVerdict:\u003c\/strong\u003e First choose the right cable type and cross-section for the job, then talk about material and tier.

RCA and XLR connect sources to the amplifier, with XLR especially for long runs. Phono cables run from the turntable to the phono stage, and jack cables are used for headphones and mobile devices. Tell us your components, and we'll match them to the right runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRCA or XLR – which is better?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXLR transmits in balanced mode and is less sensitive to interference over long cable runs, but only works if both devices have XLR connectors. For typical living-room distances, RCA is usually plenty sonically. We look at your connectors and recommend the option that really makes sense in your setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you really hear expensive cables?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo some extent – but rarely as dramatically as some prices suggest. The biggest jump comes from switching from the bundled freebie cable to a properly built cable. Very expensive cables only pay off in high-resolution chains and for trained ears. We'll tell you honestly from what point the extra spend is worth it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does a turntable need a special phono cable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe phono signal is tiny and very susceptible to interference before the phono stage amplifies it. That's why phono cables are especially well shielded and usually come with a separate ground wire against hum. A normal RCA cable will do in a pinch, but a real phono\/tonearm cable like the ViaBlue NF-S5 keeps the background noticeably quieter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo you make cables to measure?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.

That way you get exactly the length your room needs, without coiled-up excess behind the rack.

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.

Carbon-containing material converts part of this energy into heat. In practice, you notice this as a quieter background against which quiet details don't disappear into the noise floor.

The Evergreen uses solid wire instead of stranded conductors for this, so the signal doesn't migrate back and forth between individual strands. The copper is long-grain LGC with few grain boundaries, the insulation is foamed polyethylene that absorbs very little energy and releases it back only with delay.

The Yosemite uses Perfect-Surface Copper+, the Angel uses solid Perfect-Surface Silver. FEP air tubes, the three-layer carbon system, the geometry, and the 72-volt DBS are the same in both.

The Mackenzie works with foamed polyethylene, the Yukon with polyethylene air tubes, i.e. genuine air tubes around the conductor.

Everything comes ready-made and cleanly terminated. Which version suits you depends on your speaker terminal – check whether it has banana sockets or screw clamps for spade connectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat does genuine bi-wire mean, and do I need it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGenuine bi-wire means separate conductor pairs from the amplifier all the way to the speaker – so four connections at the speaker instead of two. This only makes sense if your speaker has a double terminal. If it only has one pair of terminals, go with single-wire – bi-wire simply won't do anything for you in that case.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat lengths is the SC-4 available in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a stereo pair in 150, 250, 300, 400, 500 and 750 centimetres; the jumpers come in 10 and 15 centimetres. Measure the path along the wall rather than as the crow flies, and add some extra for the bend behind the speaker. Both channels get the same length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the jumpers for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey replace the metal bridges that connect the two terminal pairs at the factory on a bi-wire terminal.

And the balanced variant is only the right one when both devices are internally balanced. The gain increases with the length of the run and the interference load in the room; over forty centimetres between two devices in the same rack, though, it's modest, and the RCA version does just as well. Adapters from RCA to XLR don't create a balanced connection, they only create hope.

If the tonearm base has a 5-pin DIN socket, you choose DIN to Cinch or DIN to XLR, depending on what input your phono stage has. If two Cinch sockets already come out of the tonearm, choose Cinch to Cinch. If in doubt, send us a photo of your tonearm connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen is the XLR version worthwhile?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly if your phono stage has a balanced XLR input that actually processes the signal in balanced mode. On a normal Cinch phono input, an XLR connector brings no advantage – there, the Cinch or DIN version is the right choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the EPC-2 Silver and the NF-S5?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EPC-2 Silver has more elaborate double shielding, silver-plated strands and more connector combinations including XLR. The NF-S5 is the simpler and more affordable solution for Cinch or DIN-to-Cinch connections without an XLR option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy angled (90°) DIN connectors?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 90° angled connector at the tonearm base takes up noticeably less height and relieves the cable routing right at the tonearm, which is mechanically important on some decks. Check beforehand how much space is available around your tonearm base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy the ViaBlue EPC-2 Silver at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we tell you whether your tonearm and phono stage can actually make the EPC-2 Silver's potential audible, instead of automatically recommending the most expensive cable.
