Ecosse Reference Maestro MA-2 RCA Interconnects ~1.2m Pair NOS Audiophile

High-end analogue RCA interconnects from Ecosse Reference (Scotland), part of their well-regarded Maestro series and known for serious build quality, heavy shielding, and low-noise performance. This reference-series Ecosse Maestro is a meaningful step above Conductor and entry lines, without the diminishing returns of flagship pricing.

This is a true NOS (New Old Stock) pair, unused and preserved from the original production era.

Overview

The Maestro MA-2 sits in Ecosse’s Reference line and was developed with proprietary Monocrystal copper conductors and a heavily shielded coaxial architecture designed to minimize signal loss and reject interference.

These are known for a clean, neutral presentation with strong detail retrieval, stable imaging, and a quiet background — more about resolution and balance than coloration.

Key Features

• Monocrystal copper conductors (long-grain, high-purity copper)

• Coaxial analogue design with dedicated signal/return paths

• Multi-layer shielding including double braided shield and conductive polymer layer for RF/EMI rejection

• Low-loss dielectric using polyethylene and gas-foamed PE

• MACH2 RCA connectors with monocrystal copper contacts and silver hard-plated signal surfaces

• Substantial outer jacket with damping and durability

Notes

Ecosse Reference cables from this period are known for overbuilt construction and excellent shielding. The MA-2 remains one of their more recognized interconnects — understated, technically well executed, and still competitive in modern systems.
