This cable was compared to Cardas Hexlink Golden 5C, Cardas Quadlink 5C and Transparent Ultra XL, all XLR cables. It has some really strong qualities such as a very firm yet tightly articulated bass and a lively and well pronounced mid (Cardas Hexlink Golden 5C-alike). It has very good control and transients are clean but this control also extends to the highs, making them dry and even a bit coarse. There’s also a lack of air compared to the other cables. Overall a lively, well-articulated cable but too rigid for my tastes. I left it connected for days to a playing source but this didn’t change much. The missing air could be caused by oxidized connectors (age) but still, this would be a strict cable, best suited for bringing clarity and control into a system that needs it. For well-balanced systems, it may very well be too much. both Cardas Quadlink and Transparent Ultra were more lightfooted, airy and more refined while remaining dynamic and speedy.<\/p>\n
