For Vinyl Lovers - the Ecosse Tru-Mono Vinyl Interconnect
When listening to Mono records on a Stereo set up you may notice a lot of, quite annoying at times, background/surface noise. Unless you have a mono button on your amp/pre amp you need an Ecosse Tru-Mono Interconnect in order to sum that surface noise to the centre of your speakers, to where the music is, ensure a significant reduction in that surface noise.
Ostensibly it’s a high quality solution requiring one female to male and one male to female cable combined in one interconnect thus ensuring a true mono summation of the two stereo channels into one. This will lower noise, distortion and generally make the records sound better in every way. As renowned vinyl guru Michael Fremer put it:
Mono information is all lateral. Stereo cartridge read the vertical component of the groove information. On a mono record that would all be rumble and noise produced by imperfect pressing, which is the reality of vinyl playback no matter how well the record is pressed.
In our top line Ultra Reference version we use our proprietary Monocrystal™ Copper MACH2XS RCA plugs together with DH Labs ultra gold-plated pure copper sockets.
In our Audiophile version we again use our proprietary Monocrystal™ Copper MACH2XS RCA plugs together with Neutrik gold plated sockets.
In our Premier version we use our proprietary MACH1 RCA deep copper plated plugs together with gold plated over brass sockets.
All you need do is connect the Ecosse Tru-Mono Vinyl Interconnect between phonostage and pre/power amp (our preference) or between turntable and pre amp, and away you go. ENJOY THE MUSIC!

“Whereas a mono button on a mixer does more than just joining the two legs, rather ensuring constant impedance and preventing sum and difference frequencies, this cable just joins them…Now, suddenly the music started to make a lot of sense. Surprisingly I didn’t hear artefacts from heterodyning. This £80 cable genuinely made the music come alive…The sound focussed in a way it cannot do in stereo. Scratches just disappeared…” HiFi Pig Magazine 21015
“The sound focussed in a way it cannot do in stereo. Scratches just disappeared… I think this is a clever and original product, and the sort of thing you might see presented on Dragon’s Den….Ecosse produce some of the most amazing and modest looking cables”. HiFi Pig Magazine 21015
We cannot stress enough that significant improvements are possible from matching mains cable, loudSpeaker and interconnect cable-grade-wise (see our 'at-a-glance' Cable Match Table) throughout your system, thus enhancing synergy.
