Does anyone know if there's much difference between VDH The Bay and D
102 MkIII cables, both highly rated by the hifi press? I've just
bought a Cyrus system and wonder whether it would be worth upgrading
from The Bay interconnects, which sound a little 'thin' now. Or would
Cyrus' own interconnects be better?

For info, I need to connect CD player to integtrated amp and
integrated to power amp.

Thanks.

How do you know that the interconnects sound thin?

Measure the OD of one channel of the interconnect using a pair of external
callipers. Anything less than 4mm dia is thin... ;-)

You guys are so far up your own backsides. Thanks for trying to help

You'll know about the large cash prize on offer for anyone who can tell
the difference between adequately specified cables? (this would be covered
by the ones supplied with most equipment)

And that no one has been able to win it?

If the difference was so obvious as some think - including the mags who
help to sell such things - it would be like taking candy off a child...

The more interesting thing is that, despite much loudmouthed claiming
of 'night and day' differences, no one has even *tried* to claim that
cash. All mouth and no trousers is an old expression.............

For a piece of co-ax a couple of feet long or so to remove some of the
bass - which is what sounding thin means - would be quite an achievement.
Unless, of course there's been a small series capacitor added somewhere.

Or possibly a resistor from the center conductor to ground.

Considering the low output impedance of well designed equipment, more like
a short? ;-)
