X-RCA Cables

Decided to upgrade my interconnects between my receiver and XPA five Gen 3.Currently have some rather old Monster cable ones that work fine but have that stupid twist bite and are just bulky. One cable is bad as well I think. I have a small amount of noise in the one channel with one cable and if I move it to another channel on the amp the noise follows.

Went back and forth between Blue jean cables and Emotiva. Reading reviews and way to much tech info (for the past week). I confused myself and didn't even know what I was reading after awhile lol.

I decide on the Emotiva X-RCA cables based on that they are well made and may be more flexible. BJC's also have a great reputation and build but from what I read seem to be stiffer.

The .5m is a bit shorter than I would have liked but will work none the less with out stressing the ends in my setup. Would have liked a bit longer for cable management.

I use Media bridge coax between my receiver and amps, well built and work flawlessly, though the shortest cable is 4 ft, got them from Amazon, they also have a 3 footer from Monoprice.

Well I got my X-RCA cables and did not realize how short 1.6ft really is lol. When I measured, it seemed that they would be long enough. (Also I did not realize that they were not sold in pairs, oops). I decided to order the BJC surround LC-1 cables. Got them installed and really happy with them. Completely quiet and more flexible than what I though they would be from reading what others had said.

FYI - I inquired about the reason for only offering the .5m length the other day and was told that they are discontinuing the X-RCA and essentially replacing it with the solid core X-DRCA, which makes sense to me. I have owned numerous coax based solid core RCA's and have had great luck with them (Signal, Ultimate Cables, etc.) - only slight "issue" is the additional rigidity.

Makes sense
