I have been thinking for some time about changing XLR to something better performing, I already have some of your products: schuko plugs and meter power cable, I have been doing well--why change? You give the opportunity to try for sixty days, I think you are the only ones who do that, also the price is good.
and aesthetics of the product?
Arrived in a nice box, the cables in your hand have some weight, the casing is nice, very neat, as far as I am competent to judge the connectors are very well made, they fit perfectly into place making that "click" that gives you confidence of the perfect connection, excellent cable and stiff but bends easily to your needs, especially near the wall.
I tried with various kinds of music both digital and vinyl, the best, and with vinyl vocals and instruments one day I used the old cables, I don't remember brand, then changed, put Ricable, did this test a couple of times noticing very well the difference and appreciating the change in sound, of course for the better.
listening impressions?
Well, what can I say, the sound has opened up, the instruments are more defined, well separated, the bass is very controlled and precise, having rehearsed with the cable change the difference can be heard quite a lot especially with vinyl, the sound has changed very perfectly, now I am satisfied, I would recommend these cables to those like me who were skeptical, now I have the XLR chain completely Ricable and I can say that I am really happy and I think they have nothing to envy to more prestigious brands.
Your conclusions.
I was a bit skeptical about the cable change, I was wrong, now I am happy to have tried them and I can say that they are worth the money they cost, if I have to give rating on a scale of one to ten, I give ten, finding fifty words is a bit difficult when everything is perfect, I would conclude with saying that the product I got meets my needs.
