RE: Another Vote for the Chinese "Odin 2" Interconnect

Digging up an old thread. I just switched preamps and I am using the Odin Gold RCA cables from DAC to preamp and preamp out to amp. The cable from the preamp to amp is producing a hiss through my tweeter. It was dead quiet with my old preamp. I was able to to reduce the hiss by moving it away from the amps power cord. It's not noticeable while playing music but it's there in between songs. I have replaced the cable with the Accuphase 40th anniversary cable and that is dead quiet. While it has similar tone to the Odin I don't feel the background is as black or the music is as dynamic as when I had the Odin hooked up with my other preamp. I have tried wrapping tin foil around the cable to help shield it but no help. I have tried 3 pairs of the Odins and the problem is the same. All other cables no issue.
Any help would be appreciated.
