Amazon Basics 2 RCA Audio Cable for Amplifier,Active Speakers or Subwoofer with Gold-Plated Plugs, 1.22 m, Black

I've been involved with HiFi for decades and have tried many different kinds of RCA cables over the years, from the freebies that used to be given away with equipment to quality items from manufacturers such as Van De Hul and QED . I've never been tempted by cables costing in excess of one hundred pounds however as I don't feel that I could tell the difference and to be honest and wonder if anyone really can. Emperors new clothes anyone? It is usually true that if you pay more you will receive a better quality item but don’t expect it to sound any better. Of course it would be foolish to suggest that differences don't exist, and I have compared cables back to back in the past, easy with an Arcam CD player, merely that I personally cannot hear them. This brings me on to the purchase of these Amazon Basics RCA interconnects. As an analogue enthusiast, I had been having problems with mains hum on my multi cassette deck set up, this being down to some truly poor quality leads picking up interference from the power cables. Even moving the interconnects as far a possible from the source of the problem could not reduce the annoyance to an acceptable level so I decided to have a look at what was available at a price that I was inclined to pay, as I needed multiple sets. I considered making my own of course, something that I’ve done that in the past but didn’t think that any cost saving was worth the trouble as I needed at least four sets possibly more. I therefore commenced my search, coming across the Amazon Basics cables at a very reasonable price and they looked quite good on the listing. Obviously you can tell little from a photograph but the reviews seemed positive so I bought a couple of sets to try. Initial impressions were favourable, the RCA connectors looked to be of good quality. The plugs appear to be gold plated and are a positive fit in the sockets on the equipment. I assume that the plugs are moulded in place as I couldn’t persuade any of them to unscrew, not an issue really. All in all a good start. Physically the cable is pretty hefty and the whole ensemble puts me in mind of a sturdy QED Qnect One, although a lot less flexible. Again, this isn’t a problem for me. As far a curing the hum problem is concerned, I was so impressed that I bought another four sets, and have now purchased six sets in total for less than the cost of one quality named brand interconnect. The hum is completely gone and there is plenty of scope in the complicated wiring for it to be induced but it isn’t so well done Amazon. Don’t ask me to describe the sound, I’ve already said that I can’t hear the difference but all is well as far as I am concerned. I did consider doing a back to back test with some Nordost and Van Den Hul cables but I would be wasting my time. As things are, music goes into the cassette decks, gets recorded and comes back out again with no loud hum present and sounding as good as I need it to be. One thing that Amazon might consider is offering the cables in 75cm lengths as they are quite long at 122cms and the shorter length would have suited me for some of the connections that I had to make and I wouldn’t even grumble at paying the same price. In conclusion if I need any more RCA interconnects I will be returning for more of these. Recommended.

When it comes to home audio setups, having the right cables can make a world of difference. Amazon Basics' 2 RCA Audio Cable promises to enhance your stereo speaker or subwoofer connections, and for the most part, it delivers. 👌 Let's start with the positives. The cable's double shielding and oxygen-free copper (OFC) inner conductors ensure minimal signal loss, resulting in a clean and consistent audio experience. No more annoying interference or unwanted noise – just pure, unadulterated sound quality. 🎶 Additionally, the gold-plated connectors provide a solid and corrosion-resistant connection, ensuring longevity and reliability. However, there are a few areas where this cable falls short. While the 1.22m length is sufficient for most setups, those with more extensive home theater systems might find themselves wishing for a longer option. 🤷‍♀️ Additionally, the lack of directional markings on the connectors can make it a bit confusing when setting up your system, especially if you're dealing with multiple components. Another minor gripe is the cable's flexibility (or lack thereof). It can be a bit stiff and unyielding, making it challenging to route and organize neatly, particularly in tight spaces. A more pliable design would have been appreciated for easier cable management. �658️⃣ Despite these minor drawbacks, Amazon Basics' 2 RCA Audio Cable remains a solid choice for those seeking a reliable and affordable connection for their home audio setup. Its performance is commendable, and the included shielding and gold-plated connectors ensure a quality audio experience. 🎚️ Just be prepared to embrace the cable's quirks, such as its length limitations and lack of directional markings. And if cable management is a high priority for you, you might want to consider investing in more flexible options. 💡 Overall, this cable is a worthy addition to any budding audiophile's arsenal, offering great value for the price. 🎧💰

These are actually a good quality sounding inter connect for a hi-fi , definitely worth trying if you are a hi-fi fan . I've a very expensive hi-fi and some very expensive leads , I brought them as a temporary for checking some old hifi but I use them now permanently. Someone made an effort in designing them ...its a shame that Amazon don't make a superior range of leads as I'd buy them if them made them , oxgen free copper with a silver coating works really well and a double shield.

I was getting an annoying and quite loud hum coming from my Cambridge Audio turntable into my Cambridge Audio Evo 150 SE amp. I was using the RCA cables that came with the turntable that had an Earth cable which didn’t eliminate any of the noise. I read online that when it comes to RCA cables there isn’t really much between budget and more expensive cables so I went with the Amazon basic and it has completely removed the hum. I was equally impressed with the quality of the cable. It feels far more expensive than the £5 odd I paid. For anyone with a similar issue, I do want to note that I do also have a separate Earth cable that is connected to the points on the turntable and amp.

Top quality, precise fit. Very efficient

The cable quality is excellent, thick well-insulated wire with gold plated plug ends. Sometimes the Amazon basics are quite expensive but this was cheap but much better than a lot of more expensive cables. Of course the sound quality is perfect, ideal for connecting my old analogue stereo kit together

Great product fast delivery +++++

Top quality cables...solid plugs and robust leads...silly price

السلك واضح قوي جدا وسميك يقارب قلم الرصاص .. الموصلات قوية جدا وسمكية وواضح انها فخمة ومكلفة .. مقارنة بالسعر تشتري وانت مغمض نشوف مع الزمن لو حدث اي خلل نعدل التعليق

大変コスパが良い商品です。端子の中は見ていませんが、作りはしっかりしていて、ケーブルの音質はオシロ計測はしていませんがピアノの高低音もきれいに出ているようです。試しに電源と平行に設置してみましたがノイズには強いと思います。

Cavo RCA di buona qualità, con guaina spessa e connettori solidi. Trasmette il segnale in modo pulito, senza rumori o interferenze. La costruzione dà subito un’impressione di robustezza, i connettori entrano perfettamente e restano ben saldi. In generale un prodotto semplice ma ben fatto, che fa esattamente quello che deve. Consigliato per chi cerca un cavo affidabile a un prezzo onesto.

I LOVE this cable. The build quality/feel of the materials uses are top notch and look like jewelry. Replaced an older set of RCA cables with a y-adapter to feed my 20-year-old Yamaha powered subwoofer, that I thought was starting to show its age. NOPE, this cable brought new life to my subwoofer. It sounds big/bold again, reproducing low end filling sound like it did when it was new. Also, it's auto/on sening feature works much better as before, I sometimes needed to manually turn it on/off to get the sub to work. Not anymore. This is a great cable at a fantastic value. I will be purchasing more of these cables soon. RCA's for my CD player, & Bluetooth adapter.

そこそこ太さはありますが、ケーブルは柔らかく、取り回しは良いです。 価格に対するクオリティはかなり高いと思います。
