Better Cables Blue Truth line Review

(1/1)

BCostigan:
After listening jpschust go on and on about how sweet these things are I sucked it up and bough a pair terminitaed on both ends with RCA bullet plugs.  I got them to run between my V2 and sbm-1 but they may also have a permanent home in my home playback system.

First the look of the cable..well..they're blue! (who woulda thought! ;)  )  Anyway very nicely built with a blue teflon outer sheathing.  This is my first time using bullet plugs and you can tell when putting them on they they are making a nice tight connection.


I hooked these up to my home system which is nothing too fancy:  A Sony STR-DE897 100w reciever, a Sony cd player and a pair of Polk Audio RTi8 speakers.  The Blue Truths are replacing a pair of RCAs made with Canare Star Quad. 

I was a bit skeptical but put in some Phish and took a listen....right outa the gate I was impressed!  The most prominent improvement was the overall clarity.  These made the canares sound like I had a thin bit of foam over my speakers and had removed it.  The bass was deeper and tighter.  The highs were more crisp but not shrill or brittle.  Again, I have to stress how much more clear the overall sound is!



Pics will be coming soon courtesy of Jonny.  I'll post an update in a week or so as they are supposed to get even better after being broken in!
