What made you choose Ricable?

I needed to get a two metre INTERCONNECT RCA cable to connect my digital source (CD player) to the integrated amplifier. My previous self-made cable was much shorter as the player was originally located right next to the integrated amp. The new arrangement of the electronics allowed me to move my turntable away from the left speaker and avoid possible acoustic feedback. I chose Ricable out of curiosity. I had seen pictures on a forum, read the specs on the website and seen some reviews. I was attracted by the fact that it was an entirely Made In Italy product and that it offered such ample guarantees of quality.

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

The first impact was very positive. The packaging is excellent, the product looks very good despite being classified as the Italian company's entry level. Packaging and logo are a business card that really works. On an aesthetic level, the cables have an elegant and flexible outer sheath, the terminations are well done, the contacts are firm and secure. They really make a good impression and this time I don't feel the need to hide the cables behind my electronics, on the contrary...

How did you carry out the tests? Which songs did you use to test the cable?

I tested the cables with my own test discs, including Dire Straits' Love over Gold, Diana Krall's The Girl in the Other Room, Dylan's Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid on Japanese Blu-spec CD, Rickie Lee Jones' self-titled MQA CD from Japan and finally Blind Faith's self-titled, quality edition from the rising sun.

What were your
listening impressions?

The self-built cable didn't do too badly but was always a temporary solution. With these RCA cables the soundstage is definitely wider and richer, the sounds are realistic, the bass never overpowering. Everything is very measured, never over the top. The musical signal arrives without any kind of smearing, it is pleasant and can be listened to without any difficulty. In short, everything flows very naturally. So this new link in the chain lets everything through and does exactly what it is supposed to do.

Your conclusions.

Despite being an "entry level", I am satisfied with both the build quality and the sound output. I hope to have the chance to buy other types of cables Ricable in the near future, I'm thinking of both power supply and cables Speaker . The company is Italian, dynamic and is also "nice" in terms of digital marketing, intelligent and never invasive. In my opinion it works! Congratulations indeed!
