It took me quite some time to persuade myself to write this post or better to say to open the thread and big portion of "push" came from @wisnon side.
Story about this cable started few months ago when I kindly asked a good friend of mine from back home (Belgrade), from whom I was sourcing my cables for last decade in on and off mode, to send me his latest versions of USB and IC cables. I wanted to hear them in my system and also I wanted to use the opportunity to hear them in Stenheim demo room with LampizatOr Pacific DAC due to the fact that i booked a time with JPP few months in advance.
As FTA designer is genuinely a very modest and humble person he barely agreed to send me those cables as his constant mantra was "I feel bad sending them as they won't be good enough for your level of system/s". What I also very much appreciate about him is that he is always very much responsive to comments and advices from customers and very much eager to experiment.
Few weeks later cables arrived just in time for a demo at Jean Pascal place where also Norman and Christoph were present as well as a good friend of Jean Pascal. At certain point while playing with the system we started swapping few USB cables we had on hand and with the Callisto turn magic happened. We've been kind of shocked so decided to do the another run with previous set of cables and after few minutes with those they've been instantly kicked out as @christoph commented: "put Callisto back - I can't listen to those". Need to say here that those were not some cheap crappy cables (one was even mine which I was using at home).
Week after we repeated the test at Chris place in Liechtenstein and there it proved itself again versus many other competitors and as of than it has been sent to quite a few proud owners across the globe.
Comments are more than positive and as I'm not really super capable of describing the SQ I guess Norm, Chris and few other guys from this forum can do that much better than I can - and also it would be much more fair.
On top I've started using his Ganymede IC cable which proved to be IMHO quite better than Siltech Classic Anniversary 550i - more dynamic, open, better resolution and soundstaging - I do love it..
