The following review of Primus Signal, Speaker and Power cables is the result of the "Ricable Review" initiative. Ricable Review is the program designed by Ricable, created to collect feedback from audiophiles, in order to lead to continuous improvement of the products in the catalog. Last but not least, those who join the program receive a certificate at home that certifies how the customer has become for all intents and purposes part of the " Ricable" family.
The following Feedback was created on the basis of a predefined questionnaire to which the user returned his impressions, in a completely free. We thank Matteo Raffaello for his time.

What made you choose Ricable?

The reasons should be related to the fact that I was looking for a INTERCONNECT cable suitable for my new turntable. Not that it lacked one, but it did not satisfy me. Therefore I started looking on the various industry sites for cables... I came across Ricable and went to the site. Done very well: neat, precise, clear, I ask via chat for advice (being a neophyte in the high-fidelity field), and I find high professionalism, competence and honesty. As a result I purchased the cable.

What do you think about the construction
and aesthetics of the product?

Hats must be taken off on this one: from the packaging to the finishing of the details, not a criticism can be raised. The cables arrive coiled just enough so that they do not deteriorate and are joined together with Velcro ties. The construction is flawless: no flaws are noticeable. Everything perfect, it feels like receiving a pearl necklace, so much so that I kept all the boxes!

How did you carry out the tests? What tracks did you use to test the cable?

I had a chance to "test" the cables by comparing them with the cables that came with the system. There is no comparison: the differences are there and can be heard despite the fact that I do not yet have such fine hearing to detect all the nuances. As I have already written, I am taking my first steps into high fidelity. The performance compared to standards is unequivocally superior.

What were your
listening impressions?

I did several tests: initially connecting the system with the supplied cables (as for those INTERCONNECT, a pair I borrowed). The first tracks I played through liquid music by selecting the same ones I also have in vinyl format. So Bruce Springsteen, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, Mozart, Tracy Chapman, Miles Davis. At this point I connect the system with the Ricable cables and it's a whole different ball game: no background "noise," no hiss, interference, definitely cleaner and warmer sound. I repeated the experiment with vinyl and it was really exciting!

Your conclusions.

In conclusion I have been very happy with the products Ricable. Both for the quality of the same as well as the cost of their products. The guys are very professional and serious, the shipments are very fast (24-36 hours), and if I were to upgrade I will definitely come back to them. Also one thing not to forget is that there is a lifetime warranty on their products, and the option to return the cable should one want to upgrade (the value of the used one is written off from the new one).

      Hello. It is always very pleasant to read these reviews that are the result of true passion and humility in admitting that you are still a neophyte and want to rely on competent and professional people like you at Ricable. No objections can be written si What Matthew has written. Others would say that there are other products that sound better and others would snub his purchase. Why do all this? I just say that as a first step it is absolutely spot on. One piece of advice I can give Matteo is that in time he can upgrade to the top cable always ricable and he will fully appreciate the differences. For now I can only tell him. Good music and good listening. Congratulations. Have a good evening.
