I put it back in my entertainment center, turned it on, and sat back to listen. Everything was fine for about an hour or so, then a 60 Hz hum started. In just a few minutes the hum was the only thing that could be heard. My first thought was that one of the new tubes was bad. But because disconnecting the amp to remove it from the rack, then opening it up to replace a bad tube didn't appeal to me I decided to first recheck the connections to make certain nothing was loose (Good grounding is our friend). I found the hum was coming from a patch cord that had gone bad. It was an older cable and I guess something that got brittle with age snapped while it was being handled. I didn't have another RCA patch cable long enough, so time to buy a new cable. Normally my go to stereo patch cables would be Blue Jeans LC-1 interconnects, but there's a problem. Blue Jeans has fallen for the current fad of oversize moldings on their connectors. The RCA inputs on most vintage stereo equipment (Say 70's or earlier) is spaced more closely together than is common on modern gear. And I know from experience the the LC-1's won't fit on the inputs of this amplifier without the benefit of improvisational engineering. And most other brands of modern interconnect cables have "chunky plug" syndrome as well. While pondering this dilemma the light went off in my head. I bought a KabelDirekt headphone jack to RCA cord to connect the bedroom TV to an elderly Wave Radio I rescued from a yard sale. And the RCA connectors on that patch cord were much more reasonably sized. So I popped upstairs to get the cable and tried a test fitting on my old amp, and they fit perfectly with room to spare. So I ordered a KabelDirekt 6' stereo patch cable and through the magic of desertcart Prime a nice government employee deposited it in my mailbox two days later. Impressions In addition to having reasonably sized connectors that will fit vintage gear they are well made and grip tightly, but not too tight (I hate connectors that have to be hammered on or pulled off with visegrips). Sound? They sound good. They add nothing to the audio and don't take anything away, which is what good cables should do. And the hum is gone. On the subject of channel markings on the plugs; I'm in my Fifties, and deep in the throes of presbyopia. Which means I'm not particularly flexible and I don't see tiny things in tight spaces very well. Much has been made in other reviews about the marking for the channels on these cables being the color of the printing on the plugs and how difficult it is to see. Blind, old, and cranky as I am I had no problems telling left from right while squatting down in the cramped, poorly lit space behind my entertainment center. Another reviewer recommended using a flashlight helps to see the colors more easily. I second his opinion. My only complaint really has nothing to do with the cables themselves. It has to do with the KabelDirekt's "Designed in Germany - Made in China" tag in their marketing. Designed does not mean engineered. In fact "Designed" in this context is extremely vague. It might mean engineered, but it might only mean "we told the Chinese factory what font to print on the plugs". It would be nice if they were to provide a bit more clarification on what is meant by "Designed". Bottom line; Good cables at a good price. They perform well and seem well made enough to last in home audio use. Update 7/31/2018: I've since ordered several more of these cables for various uses in sizes ranging from 3' to 20'. I've been satisfied with the performance, even the 20 foot cable used with my TV (dead quiet, no hum, despite being next to several power cords). I've only had one RCA Plug with a loose fit when new, and that was easily corrected with the judicious application of pliers. And apparently KabelDirekt does read these reviews because the newer cables come with easier to see color bands on the barrels of the plugs. Review: Good quality worth the price - Great quality! Easy to use. Compatible with my record player. Flexible in use. No problem with tangling and shielding is not an issue! It works quite well. I would buy it again! ## Features - Unparalleled: Connect your analog or digital audio kit thanks to this RCA/phono cable’s 75 ohm impedance, making it superior to other coax cables that can only handle analog signals - High-end: Transmit audio signals in excellent quality and enjoy clear, flawless sound without signal loss thanks to this RCA/phono cable with dual RCA/phono connectors (male to male, 2 to 2) and gold-plated connectors - Interference-free: A PVC jacket protects the high-purity copper conductors of this coax cable – while the double-layer screening comprising aluminum-Mylar foil and tightly woven copper braiding protects against electromagnetic interference - High-quality: CableDirect RCA/phono cables are put through strict functionality tests and are designed for maximum durability.

If so, how would I determine which direction to best suit me?** A: No, this one is not directional. But, be aware that most comments folks made on here are not actually talking about the right thing in regard to directional cables. That has has nothing to do with AC audio signals as most of the replies have talked about. A directional cable has an extra shield that's grounded on ONE end only. It's still AC and only the ground wire is affected. It's not a clean of a signal as a balanced pro-audio XLR signal but it's better than an average RCA/phono connection. The purpose is to reduce the chance of a ground loop hum which is a very real phenomenon sometimes seen in pro-audio gear where there can be 3-4 guitars, various amps, drum sets, keyboards, 5 sets of microphone cables + powered guitar amps, guitar effect pedals, 12 to 24 channel mixers, dual subs, etc all connected together. The amount of wiring used for a band can be surprising. A small potential difference between ground points on equipment (such as equipment running on a different breaker or phase of incoming 120V power) can induce a small current causing 60Hz hum. Cables intended to help with that are meant to be connected 1 way only. They need the grounded end to be connected at the signal source end, not at the remote amp or remote powered speaker end. Cables with this feature often have a directional arrow on it. This has nothing to do with AC audio signals since those still travel both ways on the cable. A ground loop is not a problem in a typical home theater applications where there aren't mixers, guitars, effects pedals laying spread around on the floor, and 100ft of microphone cables involved, plus a stereo is often ran from a single outlet which would not be prone to having a ground loop. A band is often spread across a 10x25ft area and various pieces of gear end up connected to multiple power sources which induces noise issues. Most home users won't see a benefit from a directional cable, and as a result they often claim that it made no difference, which can be true in that case. **Q: Can you pull them apart into separate cables?** A: Yes you can, in fact that's exactly what we did to make 2 seperate cables for 2 different subwoofers **Q: How many come in pack** A: One set of cables - 4 male plugs total, one on each end just as shown in the picture ... worked perfect for my phono to receiver connection **Q: Do the cables run in parallel as a single (flat) unit and not split apart until near either of the ends?** A: They run in parallel as a single unit ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Never underestimate the value of reasonably sized connectors. *by K***N on May 11, 2017* Recently I re-tubed a vintage amp I've been restoring.
