How did you run the tests to find differences?

Initially connecting and disconnecting the cable under test by alternating it with the previous VDH. Next, finding no particular difference, I connected it to the CD output, using a dual RCA connector, with both cables compared, and in turn these were connected to two different amplifier inputs A1-A2 (as pictured).
Then while listening to the tracks with the help of the amplifier's remote control, I tried changing input 1 to input 2, thus having immediate perception of the two sounds in comparison (refer to the video related to one of the tracks taken from Pink Floyd's The Wall ).

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

Listening immediately appears relative to a cable of remarkable quality both in terms of detail, transparency, warmth especially with the female voices giving a certain feeling of "presence " from magical atmosphere.
The various instruments also appear well distinct from each other creating a good three-dimensional scene, CD mastering permitting!
The tracks used for testing are from Best Audiophile Voices VI, Jack Johnson: Sleep Through the Static, rock music such as Dire Straits and Pink Floyd, and MPB music featuring Ana Carolina, star of contemporary Brazilian music.

Any differences from reference cables.
Have you encountered any?

To my amazement, the two cables in comparison appeared absolutely identical in the various qualitative aspects of transparency, soundstage separation, and whatever else one might ask of a cable that in the system has the thankless task of taking away as little as possible from the original signal.
TheInvictus held its own against a VDH cable of undoubted value without any problem, which honors the team at Ricable for its outstanding achievement.
In conclusion, an excellent value for money cable that can make many audiophiles happy without spending a fortune.
I thank again Ricable for the testing opportunity offered to us audiophiles, extending my sincerest WISHES for a happy holidays and a prosperous 2020.

      I met the brand Ricable which is specialized in building its hi-fi cables and I said to myself: why not try its cables? Calling in the headquarters of Oleggio I was answered by Mr. Sergio very kind person and willing to my questions I was convinced that as a person I found her very technically prepared and very convincing.Then I agreed to make purchase of his cables respectively the series of INVICTUS DEI SUB plus always of the same series two power cables so I replaced my alim. of the NORDOST HEIMDALL 2 that were mounted on the homme theatre system made by the electronics of the YAMAHA PRE CX-A5200 the MX-A 5200 power amp while the connection cables of the brand KLIMO replaced of the balanced series INVICTUS .I did the listening test at the time of the very first listening I was very but very negatively amazed by the test that I was very loaded in the low and midrange so much so that the speech I found it slurred and closed.I wondered that most likely it will be the fact that they will have to arrod so I tried them again after several hours so I heard that it changed considerably for the better turning out that the sub of the RELL acquired a very round and deep pleasant bass that I had never before heard so sounded the mids present and precise.All satisfied me with the choice I made and I would recommend them to anyone who unque would like to buy them because they sound good (at least in my system) then they are beautiful to look at as they are built with robust and professional connectors the cables are very maleable despite its important diameters.Thanks to the Italian company of RICABLE that knows how to make its products very well
