Vermouth RCA Plug - Best Value Audiophile Interconnect

I just bought this RCA interconnect from my friend, Mr. Hadi - SS Audio. He is one of Vermouth distributor in Jakarta. I request two pairs RCA cable using Canare cable brand instead the standard Mogami. The Canare is L-2T2S. Choosing the cable brands is a personal taste. The reason for me using Canare is just because I am quite familiar see that brand in the recording studio.

Finding the best RCA plug at reasonable price is quite difficult. I could not rely on China OEM RCA plugs. They are too ugly. The worst cases with that cheap plugs are they can ruin your overall audio system. Worst case found is broken your female RCA jack that need you to repair it by open up the whole amplifier unit.

The other experience is using Australian brand, the Amphenol. The result is not satisfying in term of the material quality. So I skip this one.

Back to this Vermouth brand, it is quite famous among audiophile. I know this is Indonesian made plugs for the export market. They have a lot of variance product. From the affordable plugs like this one to the most expensive cable that have a good review among audiophile. It is not a mistake to choose this Vermouth RCA plugs for affordable and good quality RCA connector.

The body of the RCA is satin finished with the straight-long body. This RCA looks just like an expensive hi-end product from WBT. Then with the additional gold plated and Vermouth gold logo on it, anyone wold consider this product is expensive.

The plug itself built by a good material. You can see how thick material for grounding is. This is a good point for a good RCA plugs.

This RCA plugs configuration is very common, the screwing lock type, then you can access inside the RCA body. Cable installation is by soldering it directly to the center pin and ground body.





 I connect this Vermouth RCA to my amplifier using CMC-female RCA. Inserting this plugs is feel tight and steady. Once again I would consider this Vermouth RCA plug for the best affordable audiophile plugs so far.

OPA1622 Vs. OPA627 High Performance Op-amps Comparison

This op-amps comparison topic is actually boring, but at the same time, many of us still curious about what others think about it. The reason is simply because of the op-amps variation are hundreds and they are depends by the implementation. The op-amps are considerably cheap and an interchangeable electronic components but they are not built for the same function. So in this discussion, I will focus on the modern Vs. vintage high performance op-amps in the simple non-inverting pre-amplifier gain stage.

Vintage Multibit R2R DAC Tier List

At the very beginning of this year, I committed to explore the best multi-bit R2R DAC. This is simply because I have plenty of the resources (from broken old unit CD player of course) and ability to build them up. If you think this kind a recycle from old un-used unit to become something useful, than I should stated myself giving contribute for greener world:) After all DAC that I built in this year, I think it is better for me to list them up again in one single page like this. Then I will rank them up in a simple tier list. The reason for this, so you all know what my opinion about of those vintage multibit R2R DAC especially in the sound quality.

PCM56 R2R Non Oversampling DAC Built

From early this year, I am start to playing a lot with the multibit DAC. They are from Sony CDP TDA1541A here , Nakamichi DAC-101 dual TDA1541S1 here , Clarion DRX-9255EXL PCM1702 here  and Clarion HX-D1 PCM1704 here . What I said playing with them is actually more suitable words because none of them are built by myself. I only study and exploring those unit then make some upgrade especially on the power supply components, signal capacitors upgrade, and bypassing the unused internal circuit for more clearer yet natural sound quality. This upgrade make a lot improvement compare to the first time I listen from it and I can really enjoy what the designer from each manufacture deliver the sound they would like to perform in those units. Those said units are categorized as a parts of hi-end audio system and I really now familiar with the sound signature from each of them. But to be honest, I am not satisfy yet with this condition. Because none of them is built by myself from ground up. ...
