DEDALUS SPEAKER ELITE
Indulging in your favourite music is a treat for the senses... and the research you've put into creating a top-quality sound system is rewarded with those profound moments of satisfaction. That's why it is essential that the last stretch of your connections, often the longest and most tortuous (to the speakers), is preserved in its naturalness and efficiency. Not to do so would be a grave mistake.
Since the debut of Invictus Speaker Reference, we realised that the gap with Dedalus Speaker was significant and that there would be the technical and commercial space to insert the right middle ground that could support very high level systems, but that compromised on cost. Dedalus Elite is certainly closer in concept to Invictus, but in order to achieve the goal of a cable that was halfway, we have wisely made cuts so that the result would be of the highest level and at a lower cost.
The acoustic result is characterised by a decisive step forward in naturalness and control compared to Dedalus, with a listening dynamic and a soundstage that closely resemble its big brother. Surely it is the ideal candidate for high-end Hi-End systems , even if not of absolute level. In these, although some sacrifices have been made with respect to Invictus Reference, a great difference is not evident in the listening phase.
Dedalus Elite is not simply a cheaply made Invictus . Although many technical solutions are derived from the latter, the basic design is completely new, but developed with an eye to economy. The conductors, also made of 7N MARC copper, are manufactured using an innovative hexaphony concept , stringing together 784 wires that make up each 6.4 mm2 conductor. In practice, we have maintained the section of Dedalus, creating a geometry similar to that of Invictus , which reduces the steric encumbrance and also improves the already excellent electrical performance, as well as giving a superior listening refinement.
Another special feature of Invictus Speaker is the innovation of the double dielectric, made from two newly developed R-TEC polymers, which can significantly improve the dielectric constant and, consequently, the flow of the audio signal in the form of INTERCONNECT low voltage electrical signal, and at the same time promote the functionality of the semiconductor(RNR Noise Reduction), which is also improved.
In addition to the innovative geometry, a new mixed cylinder and cotton insulation debuts, making the double shielding from external interference more effective. The connectors are the same as Dedalus Speaker, i.e. BFA banana plugs in Copper/Tellurium with central reinforcement pole. A new very elegant livery protects Dedalus Elite, which exudes craftsmanship in every part.
Ricable Speaker is a handmade product in Italy and, in addition to guaranteeing a much higher level of care than industrial cables, it can be customised to suit your needs, for example:
- spades instead of bananas (on one or both sides)
- Making tips directly from the conductor for old spring connections
- Customisable length according to requirements
- A different colour coating can be requested for aesthetic reasons
This Hi-Fi cable is made by hand, in an artisanal way, so we can also produce it in custom lengths, exactly as you would like it for your system.
We can also change the external colour of the cable, if your home equipment has special requirements. Please send us your enquiry and we will get back to you shortly.

Speechless! I switched from the Dedalus cable to the Dedalus Elite cable (so not a huge leap), but the gain was.
The improvement is evident on all parameters: detail, dynamics, separation of the orchestral planes, infra-instrumental blackness, bass control, timbre fidelity.
Honestly, I would have never thought to perceive such a leap in quality by simply passing from one cable to the next model.
In the past I have had other Speaker cables of good level (more expensive than the Dedalus Elite) of famous and emblazoned brands. I have to say that before I met Ricable I would have described myself as a 'cable sceptic', as I never perceived a huge improvement. Then ... I met Ricable.
I think that anyone with a quality system should absolutely try these cables, also because, thanks to an intelligent and essential commercial policy in the world of high fidelity, the products can be returned.
I personally have never done so, except to upgrade to a superior model, always Ricable.
Amazing product.
Price/quality ratio embarrassing compared to the competition.
Unique commercial policy.
I don't think I have anything else to add... only that if you are not fully convinced about your electronics or speakers, before throwing in the towel, wire them properly. You might be in for a big surprise!
PS. cables need to be broken in... and well!

Good morning Marco, we are very pleased that the Speaker Elite cable from Ricable has been able to bring such an improvement to your listening. We wish you a good day!
