What made you
choose Ricable?

I have read flattering reviews of your products online, along with commendable customer caring. I was pleased to follow the YouTube review by our friends at Audiofilando and an article on Ricable cables recently published in "Sound" magazine.

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

Excellent packaging in both an aesthetic and functional sense. Efficient and fast delivery. The construction highlights the presence of excellent connectors that immediately make one appreciate the product by giving an immediate sense of reliability. The robustness of the connectors is combined with a welcome flexibility of the cable, despite the latter's considerable cross section.

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

I tested the cable using various reference records, both in CD and vinyl format. The configurations covered various combinations on the level of possible uses in various devices in my system, with particular regard to the digital source, preamplifier and final amplifier. Finally, the tests also took place in a comparative sense with similar products already in my possession.

What were your
listening impressions?

An excellent product, combining positive features without characterization of any kind and without evidence in some specific characterizations of the sound message, the latter features which I personally judge to be negative and harbingers of possible (and unwelcome) sonic imbalances. The imprint is therefore neutral, with a harmonic fabric rich in details without artificial hyperdefinitions. Excellent dynamics and general cleanliness of the sound message, thanks to an obvious insensitivity of the cable to possible external interference. Beautiful vocals, with a very welcome hint of "warmth."

Your conclusions.

Highly recommended product in various and possible configurations of use. Very good value for money, especially in comparison with similar products of emblazoned foreign brands.
