Works well Looks great

Restoring the vintage sound. But I'm not one to shy away from streaming services over vinyl. I also believe that while quality wires and cables (audiophiles call them INTERCONNECTS) are important, I will not spend a four figure sum on 3 foot USB cables. I use one of these to connect my DAC to a dedicated PC. created exclusively for streaming audio. The DAC drives my fully restored vintage 1978 amp. What surprised me was that the DAC, which cost more than the original price of the 1984 B&W speakers in my system, had a flimsy, plastic-encased USB connector. Swapped places in this connection. There is no difference in sound quality. I no longer hear the bells on "Don't Fear the Reaper" and Tommy Flanagan still wastes time on "Coltrane Changes" during his solo on "Giant Steps". But it looks better.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Slightly dented
