Hi fellow Music Lovers,
As I've searched the archives here and never seek anything written about these cables - I felt it unjust and merely felt the need to share my story which lead me to try them and ultimately purchase them.
Over the course of say 13 years - as the ones prior to that had all been limited to the likes of either Chord Company/Naim Audio ICs and both versions of Naim Audio Speaker Cables - namely ( pun intended ) NAC-A4/A5 as the time between 1984 till 1999 saw me generally using in one form or another a Naim Nait ( original version and two different vintages of the Olive Version between 2003 and again in 2012 ) so I had never ventured out to other cabling looms before 2000, at which point I went onto discover the likes of Kimber Kables - followed by Harmonic Technologies Truth-Link ICs along with their matching Pro 11 LS Cables and Pro AC-11+ AC Cord and was quite contend with them until once again feeling the need to find something maybe a tad more advanced and moved over to their designers more upmarket line in Acoustic Zen ( Martix Reference and Satori LS Cables and Tsunami AC Cord ) from 2009/12 - and have gone through Crimson Audio RM Music-Link LS Cables - LFD Spiroflex MK 1 LS Cables and Clear Day Cables ( Standard Shotgun ) LS Cables as means of voicing any given amp that was used in the system at this time .
But last December saw me needing to add a certain sense of mid bass weight to my now beloved/cherished Totem Acoustics Model Ones and recalling that several friends of mine had borrowed via the Cable Company one of CRL's Copper Phono-Cables I trusted enough in their opinions to try out the Bronze LS Cables first and found that I was able to obtain a sense of purpose behind each/every note with a flushing out of the midrange in such a manner it didn't take long for me to realize one very very important truth - I should've tried this line of cabling earlier on in my journey, as it would've saved me time and funds along the ways - for the first time in this hobby ( 32 years ), I've found what I hear as a very balanced cable that emphasizes the texture and tonality of each note in a manner I can how hear as accurately presented - as well as neutral enough to where one can much easier hear into a more silent, yet spacious backdrop that has a sense of " stillness " or better put " correctness " to its overall sonics that pulls everything and I mean literally everything more together in a synergistic manner that I've found unmatched.
It merely makes me wonder why others haven't been raving about these cables?, is it due to cost?, or merely one of those likes that's overlooked and under appreciated for what it offers?.
This is not so much a review per SE in so much as a means of trying to give those with open minds an alternative to what I see as an injustice - and correct the balance of life if you will in addressing the very fact that many more costlier cables ( Transparent Audio - MIT - Purist Audio Designs - Jorma Designs - Yter and Nordost ) can go for crazy prices and those that can afford them?, pursue them, but in regards to what I'm hearing today in the here and now, many simply haven't found out what's out there that's deserving of ones attention on a purely musical level, and I for one wanted to correct these illusions of cost vs performance for the sake of honesty as those whom are Music Lovers as opposed to so-called Audiophiles might actually hear something in these cables more akin to Music done right.
So far, I've their Bronze IC ( $600 1m/pair ) and LS Cable ( $400 up to a 12' pair ) along with their Phono Cable ( $1.199 1m/ pair ) and am the happiest I've been in said 32 years of searching and searching for that right sense of purpose that fulfills my every need and then some.
Please try to audition these through the Cable Company and let me know your findings, as I'd love to hear what others feel on said topic.
Regards,

| Product Weakness: | None that I'm aware of - and at this price, I'd have to add that I consider them an absolute bargain............ | | Product Strengths: | It's more about those little hidden nuances that some simply haven't be aware of - in said case it's more about what's heard as opposed to missing. |
