CNCESS CESS-163-2f Heavy Duty Low Noise 12AWG Premium RCA Audio Patch Cable (2 Feet)

These cables are well insulated with quality connectors. They bend well enough for my application, not flimsy. 5 pairs run my CD transport, Digital To Analog Converter (DAC), Equalizer, and two headphone amps. They are made here in the states and are an incredible value. I wouldn't buy any other brand. Every time I aquire another piece of equipment, I go ahead an order a pair of these to arrive at the same time. Because my equipment is stacked one piece atop the other, I do well with the 1 foot cables. Mine came in at 13" plus the connectors (or exactly 12" if you include the rubber bend protectors as part of the connectors). On occasion, I've needed that tiny bit of length, so I'm grateful for how they measured it. I wanted short lengths because the back of my equipment is partially visible in the room.

Updated: As pictured, after looking at the terminals I found these to be Monster Cable brand rather than CESS, which used to be a very popular brand. Known for their high quality parts and durability. These RCA Cables are amazing AND affordable! They are 12awg and well shielded and the connectors fit perfectly snug, the goldilocks of a snug fit. I also have worlds best cables which have a much smaller gauge wire and fit too tight. I can’t tell the difference in audio quality between the $35 WBC and these $16 12awg RCA shielded cables! If you’re reading this I highly recommend you purchase these cables as they are much more affordable than other brands and they perform equally well, especially in a sensitive and highly detailed 7.2.4 dolby atmos setup. Save yourself some cash and get these, you won’t be able to tell a significant difference in audio quality between these and the more expensive brands. Try it🙂

These fixed the noise issues I was getting from previous cables. Build quality seems good and they work pretty well! Just make sure you measure the length you need as these aren’t as flexible as other cables

No gimmicks or audio voodoo. Just honest quality. These cables are exactly what we all know that works best. The cables are very well insulated with a soft, thick but flexible rubber exterior. The RCA connectors are firmly secured to the wires and attach with the perfect amount of tension. Very pleased with this purchase.

These are nice cables, nice materials, they attach to my components with a satisfyingly nice firm fit while the fit and finish of their construction is nice - I expect a long service life from these.

After working with these cables for 6 months I can say that they do deliver good performance. Solid construction, reasonable shielding (as far as I can tell, the under shell connections are heat-shrinked), low noise. No issues with cables falling apart. The cable itself is surprisingly flexible and easy to route considering the size. Measured capacitance was 186pF and 195pF on the 2 foot length for cable a and cable b, higher than what I was expecting to see. Compared with home rolled cable at exactly the same length of 67.9pF using DX Engineering RG8X cable and CESS gold plated RCA connectors (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079TM1682?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title). Would that make a difference to most people? Probably not. The resistance is basically unmeasurable with the tools I have available for both cables. An audiophile purist would possibly notice a difference with the added capacitance. What I think is going on here is the size of the center conductor is actually pretty large at 12 gauge, one might even say unnecessarily large for very short lengths. The DX cable is 16 gauge and gives excellent results even out to 100 feet. Bottom line: it's good cable for the majority of people. If you must have the absolute best in specification, look elsewhere.

These cables were the idel length and thickness for my audio project. They performed as expected and could not be happier.

Needed a set of jumpers between the preamp out and power amp in. These aren't cheap and shoddy. Good quality and I would buy again.

La construcción y el blindaje de este cable me parecen adecuados! La mejora en la conexión con mis equipos es notable, se sintió el cambio cuando lo reemplaze por el que tenía! Voy a pedir otro para completar mi configuración!

Worked great!

Expensive but worth every penny. Quality is same as described. You wont regret.

Los cables se ven de muy buena calidad.

very good cable... lots of improvements on the sound from my dac to amplifier... it is night and day comparing with other cables
