I currently use Chord Chameleon Silver Plus from my Era Gold V to Tag Mclaren Preamp.
 
Would I be better off using CUSAT50 instead?
 
For info - I use DNM Reson with Bullet Plugs to connect to the Power AMP from Preamp.

The Chord doesn't conduct through its shield and therefore is wide open to RFI above about 30MHz (the UK FM band is 88 - 108MHz). It may not cause detection, but it can alter the sound. The silver conductors can make things sound very bright, and if that is the case the Cusat50 should return a more balanced performance.
That none should be able to buy or sell without a smartphone and the knowledge in how to use apps

Like most people, I have a CD player (actually, a transport plus DAC) along side my turntable. I presume you do not recomend changing the interconnects from my Preamp DAC to Power AMP to Cusat50 as this is post the CD path, which I gather isnt wideband?Confused.
 
In other words, the Cusat50 is only beneficial from a Graham Slee Product (ie Era Gold V)?

No, I wouldn't say that. There are a lot of customers who like the Cusat50 for other interconnect purposes than phono out.
