Product: Signature Silver RCA to RCA Phono Cable (SKU AS_XPRR)
One week in and approx 30 hours on this new phono cable.
I live in North Bay Ontario and don’t have the luxury of a local audio store to borrow and try out cables, so I read a lot and try to invest in my best “educated” guess. It’s difficult to remember sound when travelling out of town once in a while to take a listen to something so I don’t waste my time. I know for experience that cables do make a difference for better or worse.
I went for the Statement Silver Phono 0.7m based on the premise of spending the most you can comfortably afford.
I can say so far that I am extremely happy and date I say genuinely excited with this purchase.
I thought my system sounded good but was always looking for that realism of vocals and instruments that just wasn’t quite there.
Over the first thirty hours I have witnessed this cable grow from ok, to where’s the mids, to that sounds a little “muddy”, to what is happening to my room. Each revelation has solved itself in a very positive way to a sound I thought I could only chase. I realize 30 hours on this cable is quite a ways off from full potential and that excites me even more.
I had a very good soundstage before, but my speakers are strangely being removed from the room and allowing the music to be much more involving. I don’t pretend to know all the review lingo, but I do know when I’m happy.
I’m Happy!

A note of appreciation from me is long overdue. Thanks to your generosity at the Montreal show last March, I was able to upgrade my phono cables from Statement Silver to Signature Silver. The improvement was dramatic.
Unfortunately I was only able to appreciate it for about three weeks. At that point one of my monoblock tube amps went defective, and the necessary replacement part has proven very hard to get. I have finally put in place a backup amp, somewhat reluctantly, and been able to do some listening.
The Silver Signature cables continue to enchant me, even with the backup amp which is a considerable downgrade. I have a vivid memory of my first impression, coming away from the Silver Statement which had been my best cable. The soundstage tripled in size in all dimensions!
Other impressions are of cleaner timbres, more transparency, more energy at the low end and the increased emotional impact you’d expect from a bigger image. These are wonderful cables.
I can’t thank you enough for them.
