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 Fabio for his time.
I chose it in the first place because it is a handmade Italian product. I got to know the company through internet channels like YouTube and Audiofilando. I needed a high performance cable to replace a very thin Chinese cable that was going to be the connection between the headphone amplifier and my Grado SR-80. Once I was informed, I decided to buy it directly from the manufacturer's website, which even offers a lifetime guarantee. I keep it jealously in its case. I call it 'my python' because I wrap it around myself to unroll it!
and aesthetics of the product?
Beautiful to the eye and to the touch it provides a nice feel. The construction is excellent, the cable is thick and the screen-printed connectors Ricable are beautiful and gold-plated. The insulation sleeve produces a beautiful feeling of high craftsmanship with its characteristic grey-white colouring and checkered pattern! When I insert the headphone jacks, the click that is produced is solid and immediate, providing a great feeling of contact.
I connected this cable to a Rega Ear first series headphone amp. I use it for evening listening and when I have time also in the early afternoon. I use it to have an intimate relationship with newly purchased records or for use with Tidal connected to the Onkyo NS-6170 network player! Rarely is it connected to Cambridge Audio, but even with this method the cable doesn't disappoint at all!
listening impressions?
Since I've been using it, a world has opened up. The soundstage is much more balanced and realistic, I feel involved and at the centre of the music. The treble is never annoying and the bass is well present with any kind of music. I am finally experiencing DSD files and PCM music at its best! I finally feel the music I love, know and the music that I have yet to get to know well have their own place beyond my head, it's a new sensation and difficult to describe, but one that makes the musical stage that this product offers truly unique.
Your conclusions.
I would recommend this cable to everyone, this company that represents an excellence of our Italy and all its products that allow access to many cables for all budgets and for all needs. In conclusion, a cable that will revive the desire to listen to your favourite headphones and isolate you in the wonderful sound that this cable can give you.
