Choosing an RCA interconnect

An RCA interconnect sits at the lowest signal level in the system, which is why differences between cables are often clearer here than further downstream. Shielding, dielectric and plug quality all have an audible effect, particularly in a resolving system.

Match the cable to the system rather than to the price list. On a modest system, a well made entry level cable removes obvious problems like hum and dullness, and further spending has diminishing returns. On a system with good speakers and a capable source, the step up through a manufacturer's range is usually clear and repeatable.

Buy the shortest length that reaches comfortably, and avoid coiling excess cable behind the rack. Keep interconnects off mains leads where possible, and cross rather than run parallel where they have to meet. If you are not sure whether a step up is worthwhile in your system, tell us what you are running and we will give you an honest answer.

RCA cables carry unbalanced signals, while XLR cables carry balanced signals that reject noise and interference. XLR is preferred for longer runs and professional-grade audio systems.

If you have a system which accepts both XLRs and RCAs, we would typically recommend using the XLR connections, as they offer a lower noise floor. However, if you system is pre-dominantly RCAs, then we would recommend sticking with RCAs throughout your system, rather than mixing and matching.

Yes. Build quality, conductor material, shielding, and connector quality can influence noise levels, clarity, and overall tonal balance, especially in resolving systems.

Use the shortest practical length to minimise signal loss and interference. Longer runs benefit from better shielding and low‑capacitance designs.

Yes, but turntables require low‑capacitance phono cables designed for moving‑magnet or moving‑coil cartridges. Standard line‑level RCA cables are not always suitable.
