Review #1 - USB Cable Magnus - Ricable Review

Just the care of the packaging (even to the touch) gives an idea of what awaits inside, I also like the meadow green coloring with an excellently done screen printing highlighted, inside also the certificate of LIFETIME warranty.

The cable presents itself in all its beauty, yes, because it is indeed beautiful and well made with its new heat-shrink sleeves to protect the connectors, comfortable even in the grips; the cable is sturdy but flexible enough, nice the cable clamps with the Italian flag, to proudly recall the product's Made in Italy.

The rehearsal is spread over three days--each day a different genre of music repeated several times on the chosen pieces, also to break in the new cable as much as possible.
The first listening starts with Beethoven's Ninth Symphony as a work complete with instrumental passages, single voices, and in the finale beautiful choruses, so wide possibility of judgment in one piece...I like to hear the air, the breath of the music, what digital often takes away, after all music is vibration of the air, the Ricable cable for now is the one that comes closest to this purpose, I pick up a softening of the sound compared to the routine cable I usually use. Please note: by softening I do not mean a coloring of the sound, but a more naturalness than the, you name it, "digital coldness." I still remain of the opinion that a good analog recording and a proper system to back it up is preferable--more music. The Ricable cable does its job of transferring data...I think it is much more difficult to judge a cable pre-purposed for digital than one pre-purposed for analog precisely because of their technical characteristics...the cable's priority is not to add or detract from the flow of the music, the sound, the dynamics, the timbre of the voice are priorities of the recording and the goodness of the system. The USB Magnus does its job, nothing takes away, nothing adds, and that is no small thing.
Second day of listening, we continue with a very good digital recording of the Dave Brubeck Quartet, At Carnegie Hall, a live recording, I also own the fully analog version here and the listening is at the same time changing the switch live from turntable to DAC, and here I must honestly admit that the digital beats my beloved analog sound big time... again the Magnus cable remains impartial, it gives and gives nothing away, it makes the sound flow in a truly credible and natural way.
Third day of listening, here comes AC/DC, Power Up, the band's latest effort...nice bass, just deep enough, without overpowering Brian Johnson's raspy vocals, here the Magnus Ricable brings out the mellow feeling I had in the first few listens, this record I used to struggle to listen to for much, now it's all more enjoyable, maybe... I say this without objective evidence, the famous digital jitter that plagues the sonic result is more protected by the cable Ricable, resulting in less distortion, not audible but weighing down the listening fatigue, but I am not a technician, just a longtime listener and take this opinion of mine as ... a personal feeling.
