choose Ricable?
My wife and I (both music lovers) had recently agreed to the idea of owing and listening to vinyl again. We started off slowly but soon realized the equipment we acquired wasn't where we wanted to remain. We upgraded our complete audio package except the cabling, but soon realized this also needed an improvement.
Numerous emails back and forth with Ricable consultant Sergio Modenesi convinced us this would be the right fit. Ricable is not as well known in Canada but with great product reviews, return policy and Lifetime Warranty we made the decision.
You can't talk about Ricable without first mentioning their exquisite packaging. When you do receive your cables the first thing you notice is the beautiful box presentation.
It has the excitement of opening a gift at Christmas. When you finally do open your purchase, with its velvet lined box, you realize you have something special. The way Ricable assembles their products, clean, precise and only using high quality parts, is a true Italian work of art.
The build and the look of these cables are in a class of their own. My wife says the cable colors remind her of the Azure Waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
We first installed the Invictus Turntable Cables along with the Invictus XLR, replacing a popular brand RCA cables.
Wow what a complete change.
Next we swapped out our popular brand speaker cables for the Invictus Speaker Cables. Again wow, (without a break-in period) we were impressed.
We then installed our old cables again and both looked at each other in amazement. We had made the right choice.
We have had the cables now for a few weeks and find that our system seems to sound sweeter with each record played. The clarity, large soundstage, lovely detail, dynamics, very noticeable quietness and space between instruments as well as the solid precise bass of the Invictus cable is something you have to hear to believe.
Our listening experience and appreciation has had a total upgrade.
We listen to music almost every evening. After supper we both look forward to sitting down, spinning a few records and getting lost in the musical experience Ricable has given us.
Your conclusions.
Ricable Has exceeded our expectations. They look like they sound... MAGNIFICENT!!!!!
In all this I haven't mentioned the extremely quick shipping. We live in Winnipeg, Canada and had our orders from Italy delivered to our door in less than a week.
As well the Ricable customer support is what you expect from a high quality cable manufacturer. They are there to answer any questions you may have in a timely professional manner. I did e-mail them numerous times and received a reply for each of my questions. Thank you Ricable for that.
Being music lovers and musicians, we are both in agreement Ricable is and will be our go-to, now and in the future.
