Hi Guys,
As I've sat here and more or less read many of the post on cabling looms, I'm just surprised to see that many of you haven't mentioned or seemed to have heard of this brand of cabling.
As someone whom has taken advantage of the loans/demoing system through the likes of the Cable Company since 2004, I've listened to the likes of cables from companies like Arcolink - Acoustic Zen - Argento Audio - Basis Audio - Cardas Audio - Jorma Designs - Kimber - LFD - Magnan - MIT - Nordost - Organic Cable ( Argento ) - Purist Audio Designs - Siltech Cables - Straightwire - Tara Labs - Transparent Audio, and quite a few others merely for the sake of knowing what was what?, and knowing full well that I'd never be able to afford many of these cables, yet wanted to hear them for myself none the less.
Yet, as I've been through 5 different cable lines over the course of the last 5 years, it all came to an end once I heard what the CRL Phono Cable brought to the overall sonics of my system, that I became a believer - and afterwards having gone onto to even introduce their entry level Bronze Series cables ( ICs and LS Cable ) into my system has made me stop and realize one very important factor, while some cables are capable of emphasizing the sense of air - presence - top end sparkle or detailing more so then others, and each of us have to voice our systems to our own set rules of synergy as a means of pulling it all together, I've to say this for me has become one of the most misunderstood or under appreciated lines out there, yet one to which I feel should definitely be on every music lovers ( as opposed to box/component listeners ) very short list of cables to at least experience one in their lives.
These cables appear to strike the right balance between musicality and transparency that I'd found quite unique, as if every single musical note/strand has a greater sense of purpose as well as a blending of timbre and tonality that a lot of brands appear to gloss over, it's as if the notes themselves are more composed if you will, in a manner where if the music becomes more and more complex, these cables take it in strive and are capable of keeping up without smearing or blurring the finer detail or nuances within said passages, while presenting every single note as if held into place surrounded by its own layering of sound upon sound in a most uncanny manner - that merely once again strikes me as " correct ".
Balance wise, nothing is spotlighted as if trying to impress ourselves or worst yet - others in what I see/hear as mere Hi-Fi trickery based upon mere sound effects, because I for one don't gauge how well a train rumbling down the tracks has to do with musicality to begin with, but if I'm able to detect little subtle hidden details underpinning the notes themselves as if heard for the first time............, well then I begin to take notice of how organically correct these cables truthfully are, I'm not saying one can't do better, no far from it, but at what cost?, thousands more?.
With these cables, it's as it all the dots are being connected right in front of you, the separation and layers upon layers of music are presented in a more naturally fleshed out manner, and the tonality is spooky real.............., I can't speak for others, but to me there are two vital areas of the musical spectrum that should stand out - the midrange as well as the true pitch of instruments.
It's about adding a sense of realism to the picture that causes one to enjoy their music collection for what they are, and is more forgiving of bad pressings then most, that would then lead you to trash half of your collection and pursue those Audiophile pressings only, to which I'd say is total BS!.
This is more of a means of merely trying to get others to sample these cables, as I believe many of you just might be quite surprised at the overall result, if you can appreciate honesty - tonality - pitch prefect and truer sense of timbre to begin with that is?, nothing flashy or overly detailed mind you, but what I hear as one of the most balanced and musically correct cabling lines I've heard to date - bar none, so much so, that I'm now moving upwards to their Copper Series, at which point I'm done system wise, and yes, I do see cabling looms as components as oppose to mere add ons, as my findings show " me " cabling is where the quest ends, as that last vital piece of the puzzle that seemingly pulls it all together is the IC that is used on your key Source component - and through the use of the properly balanced cables - it either breaks or makes the system.
Now, I'd be the first to admit, I can hang with some of the big boys here, and have tens or hundreds of thousands to invest in a system - as I believe my main investment should be into my music collection, which is why I've over 21.000 LPs more or less, as my father taught me years ago, ones system should never cost more then what's invested into their music.........., and to my end, it seems true, to this very day I only know three other guys ( obviously music lover sorts ) with even larger music collections, and then on the other extreme my few doctor friends with say like $300.000 systems, yet only own about 50 LPs and 13 CDs, which to me shows they're totally freaking lost - but that's just my opinion, yet once again, because I place more of an emphasize on collecting music versus expensive boxes/components - doesn't mean I can't hear the differences that exist at different price ranges, but more importantly - is the fact is, I can hear.
And to my ears, these cables are more deserving of attention then any/everything I've heard, and I'm merely trying to correct an injustice to them not being more readily known/heard by others, I don't get a penny from this company for endorsing them, as that would be immoral, but I'm a believer in once again what I know is a cabling line that should be heard before one spends a penny elsewhere - as one could save a great deal of money on the end, and if so?, you can thank me later.
I merely had to get all of that off my chest, now onwards and outwards all you out the box thinkers and music lovers, as I've spoken my piece.
And I knew Art Olmstead from his other cable company.
