Can anyone suggest an upgrade for the supplied cables provided with pro-ject's xpression III? Will any standard interconnects do or is the grounding connection required as well? I'm assuming grounding cables can be purchased separately but I'm not educated on the subject.
Dane, if you open it to look first, you will know what is required. You might also get a look at what is there now, and have an idea of what is an 'upgrade'.
Wow...utterly helpful, thank you. I realize what is there now and that its crap quality. I was asking for a suggestion on any cables that might be a fan favourite...but I guess that's too much to ask for. My apologies.
So Dane, what does the cabling consist of now? Is it a shielded cable? I say grounded(not necessarily shielded, depending on the sheath)or what are you looking to improve upon? Do you have humming issues? Associated rumble? What do you feel that the cabling is not doing for you?
The Xpression III comes with the typical inexpensive interconnects that you get in the box. Kind of like buying the Rega Apollo...most folks don't want to use the interconnects that came in the box.
One of the advantages of the Xpression III over the first version of this table is that the interconnects are not proprietary so you can choose the flavor that you want. van den Hul, Kimber Kable and Cardas are all companies that make very good interconnects with good reputations among analog enthusiasts.
I have really thick MONSTER CABLE between my amp and preamp. Is that something "analog enthusiasts" frown upon? I didn't realize there were so many brands of cable. I figured thick cable was good enough, no? Honestly curious, thanks in advance for any input!
