Construction and aesthetics. Did you find the cable solid and attractive?
The cable has an excellent appearance, well-made connectors, high quality outer jacket.
How did you test for differences?
I let the cable run in for about forty hours. Test performed from AURALiC streamer to headphone amplifier, with cable change on RCA input.
How did you carry out the tests? Which songs did you use to test the cable?
Tested by listening in parallel and in quick succession to:
- Classical: Overtures And Preludes, Richard Wagner; Symphony No. 1, Gustav Mahler
- Jazz: Kind of Blue, Miles Davis; Soulville, Ben Webster
- Rock: Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Deep Purple
Any differences from reference cables.

Did you find any?
The cable was remarkably balanced, with prominent midrange and slight attenuation at the extremes. In my opinion it is very suitable for classical music and small jazz ensembles, less at ease on rock.
