The following review of the Magnus Speaker cable is the result of the "Ricable Review" initiative. Ricable Review is the program created by Ricable, born to collect feedback from audiophilesin order to bring about continuous improvement of the products in the catalogue. Last but not least, those who participate in the programme receive a certificate at home, with the aim of certifying that the customer has become part of the " Ricablefamily".
The following Feedback was created on the basis of a predefined questionnaire to which the user returned their impressions, in a way that was not possible without the help of a surveyor. completely free. We would like to thank Guido for his time.
I was looking for a cable that would improve the sound of my system, that would take away that feeling of listening fatigue. I started out using simple copper wire and then switched to a Dynaudio cable, bought at random, but the result was not satisfactory at all. So I began my search for a solution by visiting and reading various forums and reviews. I was looking for a cable that, even if it doesn't cost a crazy amount of money, could be good for me and my system.
and aesthetics of the product?
Right from the packaging, you can tell that the product has been carefully designed down to the last detail. I found, although the cable is of a certain thickness, absolutely not rigid. The banana plugs and sheaths are perfect, especially the sheaths are precisely terminated. At the first insertion of the banana plugs into the connectors I found some difficulty, but this guarantees an optimal contact.
I listen mainly to rock and blues music and did nothing more than listen to tracks that I know very well, both on vinyl and CD, with the previous cables. The test lasted about three weeks as I had read that cables also need a break-in period.
listening impressions?
As far as I'm concerned, the listening impression, after three weeks, can only be positive. I am not a pure audiophile, if I may say so, but I was looking for a cable that could improve the sound, sometimes too tiring, of the cables I had previously tried. I wanted a cable that balanced and exalted the frequencies more, without suffocating them, and I think I have found it in this Magnus. I am fully satisfied, I think that my system has improved by 30%, which is no small thing. Low frequencies are more rounded and there is more detail in the mid-high frequencies.
Your conclusions.
In conclusion, I am fully satisfied with my purchase. Would I recommend them? Yes, I would. But I want to underline that the final result is subject to many variations, to the kind of system, to the listening room and, last but not least, to the personal taste. The quality-price ratio, I think, is all there, even if it is obvious that the money spent is not little.
