AKORD® PREMIUM DIGITAL COAXIAL AUDIO LEAD SPDIF GOLD RCA CONNECTOR PHONO CABLE FOR SURROUND SOUND/DOLBY/DTS (1.5 Metre)

You get what you pay for is an old adage and sometimes true and was in this case. When this cable arrived one end was broken off, because the locking screw was missing from one end and the cable was shorting out to the screening. The missing screw was overlooked by the manufacturers quality control and not the sellers fault. I can fix this I thought, just a matter of cutting it back, resoldering and replacing the screw. I did fix it, but I was not impressed by the quality of the centre core, which was of thin, multi-strand unimpressive construction. Once repaired it measured electrically ok and worked, but I was not happy. I have ordered a budget Audioquest replacement, which has a single strand centre core made of silver wire. Its 6 times the price of this, but hopefully I will have more confidence in that.

Excellent quality product that works well.Confused a little at first trying to fit it as was too right to fit, but then realised it required loosening first! Was a little tricky as it's tiny and finicky, but wasn't too much of a hassle.(It's probably worth making an extra note that it does state this on the product page, which I missed at first:"Please note that this is a premium cable with locking RCA connectors at each end. To fit you have to slightly unscrew the ends of the RCA connectors, fit the cable and re-screw to lock in place for a precision fit to help eliminate interference." )

I use this interconnect to replace the cheap standard coaxil lead which I was using to connect my Sony Blu Ray player to my Pioneer surround sound receiver. It seems to be a distinct improvement as I no longer get sound drop outs. It is well made and as it has locking phono plugs makes a very secure connection. Remember to read the instructions - you have to unscreww the plug a bit before fitting it then screwit up tightly.and remember to unscrew it before disconnecting.

I am very happy to give this product 5 stars as it is of Premium quality came inside 24 hours and on connection to my BOSE SOLO worked superbly whew as my TV did not support Optical ports only SPDIF. Very happy to buy from this seller again.

No need to spend any more on 'audiophile ' coax cable. No difference in sound between this & a £300 one.....

One end would not tighten. Had the opposite effect and loosened it. Others tightened nicely. Will try again although tried a few times. In awkward position so might leave it as it seems firm.

It feels extremely sturdy and good quality. You can screw the connectors to tighten the grip on the device, simply beautiful.

Amazing product. I did a mistake thinking they come in pairs. The fast delivery meant I didn't have to wait long to connect my speakers. I use it to connect an external sound card to my KRK speakers and it sounds good. I can only compare it to some cheap rca cable that picked radio interference. This one is quiet.
