for the RSA Reference MkII Interconnecting Cable

This review is of my third purchase of a Ridge Street Audio interconnect.This interconnect was purchased at the same time as the Midnight Silver i/c.The reason I purchased the RSA Ref mk2 was I needed an interconnect that would mate well with my slightly warm sounding Meridian cd player.Right off I can say this is not a warm sounding i/c.It mates very well with my cd player.This interconnect is very revealing.I would venture to say that if you system is a touch warm and needs life this is the cable for you.Incredible speed and dynamics.Very quick tight bass,with an open pure midrange.Of the three i/cs from Ridge Street this is the least forgiving.Wonderfull peice at great price.

Product Weakness: Can be very revealing.
Product Strengths: Speed,quick tight bass and pure midrange
