    Which CatCables model to use between 1066->1075?

    I'm trying to decide which cable to use (and order them so that they will be here when I recieve my components)

    the choices are:
    • BlueTiger
      Silvercats
      Concert Cats


    I've never used silver before (in my system) and am curious what sonic qualities are different between the SilverCats and ConcertCats?

    Thanks in advanced,
    Brian

    You'll find silver to have a sweeter top end and slightly tighter bass then copper. Since my budgets aren't that large I try to maximize my spending so I ponyed up for silver across the front and went with copper for the rears and sides...one day I've love to have silver all round but there have to be comprisises made somewhere Either way the build quality is first rate and the locking barrels are a gods send.

      ooohhh... pretty

      Dave is offering the SilverCats with the usual connector, only with
      rhodium coating.

      looks like a winner to me...

          Wallace, I own Silvercats for my stereo-only system and love them! Then I bought some Quantum Cable SuperNova's for my HT to go between my amps and preamp. Very close to each other in performance, but Andew is spot on...the SilverCats have a more extended top end...I don't know about the Concert cats (haven't tried those)...but I know you can't go wrong with any cables Doug offers!

          What components and speakers would you be running, that may help in your decision making...?

              You won't go wrong with any CatCables in your system. The BlueTigers and Catalinas are the top-end copper cable and come pretty close to the silver, though you will get more detail with the Silvercats.

              Also check out CatCables' sister company Quantum Cable, for even more options.

                Cable God? Hardly. Maybe god like. JK.

                Yes, any Silvercats bought from a member of Club Rotel will be optioned up to the Rhodium plated connectors. They look just like the normal Silvercat connector, only everything you see that's gold will be silver coated (rhodium). Just tell me in the comments section of the order that your from Club Rotel.

                thanks,
                Doug

                  I have a much happier tale to bring you all today!

                  I contacted Doug at Catcable, looking for interconnects for my system. I had been considering and researching alternatives to the cables that I bought when I purchased the Rotel equipment.

                  Subsequent to buying the Rotel...

                  Hi,

                  I've been checking out the cat cables website.

                  There are a couple of types of interconnects:

                  Kingcats Silver Audio Cables;
                  Silvercats Silver Audio; and
                  Bluetigers Audio Interconnects (Copper).

                  And the Cattails Speaker Cables...

                  Hi,

                  For those of you that followed the long running Sliver Digital Coax thread HERE there was some consternation (by myself and others) that with the RCD-1072 into the RSP-1098 I found it sounded better with the Silver Digital Coax than with my $200 Analog RCA... We all knew that the

                  DIY Silver Interconnects?
                  by Leef DaLucky
                  In Preparation of my inevitable Rotel upgrade, i'm beginning to look at various Interconnect possibilities. My Dealer says he'll be able to furnish me with the "house crafted" cables, at a decent price. I, however, opened up Pandoras box by starting to do some research on IC's and found myself...

                  silver plated copper or pure silver
                  by Arnold van Oostrum
                  Hi,
                  I want to buy a digital coax cable (connection DVD to AV processor).

                  What's your experience with noticeble soundimprovement between a silverplated coppercable and a pure silvercable. The price difference is about 2½ times. Is the pure silver indeed much better?
