interconnects and cables for nad320bee/ nad 521bee cdp/Cadence Diva

Since Manek uses VDH..why not try those

VDH D102MKIII are my interconnects.

Since the divas internal wiring is also VDH,it would be a good idea to select a vdh for speakers as well.

from the cables I have tried...I like the vdh best in my system.

You could try out a pair of DIY interconnects which Murthy makes in bangalore. Lot of audiophiles in bangalore have replaced their megabuck interconnects with those.Check them out with Prithvi. I personally use them and just love them. I have replaced the stock jumpers also with a pair of murthy's jumper interconnects. I have the NAD C350.

Hi Manek,

How much does the VDH interconnects & cables cost?
Is it available in US?

VDH available in the Us and available here as well.

I dont quite know the present cost, sorry , but if you are in bombay VDH is available at Lakozy and marbin kolah is the importer. You could try contacting them.

Hi,

I am using VDH D102III between Marantz CDP and NAD C 350...
..an excellent interconnect.

I also use VDH Teatrack ( 4 lead version of CS 122 ) between NAD and Cadence Divas; with Monster QuikLock connectors...an equally good speaker cable.

You can try these at Marbin Colah.

Hi! Hemanth,
I use to be a dealer for Cadence and then they were the distributors for VDH, but over a year its with the Coca Cola.

You can get VDH only with him. VDH is no longer available with me or anyone in Bangalore.

Plz first try the cables and I/C's in your system before buying. I know , out here ,we don't get cables or audio gears for trial at home . But these wires are very system dependent.
I have a very bad experience with these exotic wires. My audio set up is similar to yours...Cadence Diva, Nad C370 and Nad C542. I was using VDH 102 and Tara Labs Klara cables. Then an urge for upgrading the cables hit me. I bought VDH The First, The Second and Royal Jade speaker cables in a span of 2 months. After 6 months or so the sound turned sibilant. Maybe after burn in period it became more revealing. I used to think my setup is sibilant but on paper it's a more neutral setup with a laidback sound. I changed my power lines...putting a dedicated line with 2.5sqmm wires and heavy grade plugs and sockets. It helped in cleaning the hash but in the process turned the sound more revealing and sibilant. Then last week i took out all the exotic cables from the setup and put in my old faithful VDH102 and DAC 8AWG OFC speker cables ( ihad bought these speaker cables for driving a subwoofer). Believe me or not, now, all the sibilance is gone. I am just wondering how a Rs.65 per metre speaker cable can better a Rs.800/- a metre cable? There could be so many reasons. Maybe, The Royal jade was a good partner of RFI. The silver coated copper was not working in my system. Maybe, carbon fibre deteriorates with time?
One thing is sure... no more exotic wires unless and untill i try them in my system at home.
For you, my suggestion is, don't go for silver or silver coated copper. Pure Copper is a safe bet.
Good Luck
