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 Fabio for his time.
I chose it primarily because it is a handmade Italian product. I got to know the company through Internet channels such as YouTube and Audiofilando. I needed a performance cable to replace a very thin Chinese cable that was going to be the connection between headphone amplifier and my Grado SR-80s. Once I inquired about it, I decided to buy it directly from the manufacturer's website, which even offers a lifetime warranty. I keep it jealously in its case. I call it "my python" because to unroll it, I wrap it around myself!
and aesthetics of the product?
Beautiful to the eye and to the touch it provides a nice feel. The construction is sublime, the cable is thick, and the screen-printed connectors Ricable are beautiful and gold-plated. The insulation sheathing produces a beautiful feeling of high craftsmanship with its distinctive gray-white coloring and checkered texture! When I insert the headphone jacks, the click that is produced is solid and immediate, providing a great feeling of contact.
I connected the cable in question to a Rega Ear first series headphone amp. I use it for evening listening and when I have time even in the early afternoon. I use it to have an intimate relationship with newly purchased records or for use with Tidal connected with Onkyo NS-6170 network player! It is rarely connected to Cambridge Audio, but even with this method the cable does not disappoint at all!
listening impressions?
Since using it, a world has opened up. The soundstage is reconstructed in a much more balanced and realistic way, I finally feel involved and in the center of the reproduced music. The highs never annoying and the bass well present with any genre of music. I am finally experiencing DSD files and PCM music at its best as well! I finally feel the music I love, know and the music I have yet to get to know well have its own place extending beyond my head, it is a new feeling and hard to describe, but one that makes the musical soundstage this product gives truly unique.
Your conclusions.
I would recommend to everyone this cable, 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 favorite headphone and isolate you in the splendid sound that this cable can give you.
