Customer Feedback

Here is some feedback from customers on our cables.

 

Impact Interconnects

Resolution, PRAT, spatial and very open. I'm hearing things i've never heard before, the human breathe in the vocals has never been so ascertainable. We had a period of adjustment - is there somebody at the door or is that the stereo... Its the degree of openness that impressed me. We A-B'd your standard IC against my old reference, the VdH 1st, and your cable is more open than the VdH.

Testament Interconnects

John sent two messages:

  1. You were right when you said that the Testament interconnects would easily outperform the Kimber Hero interconnects. I am hearing details in the music that were previously obscured, yet at the same time I find the sound to be warm and very listenable. I also swapped some of the cables from the preprocessor to the CD player and I am hooked. The Rega is a very analog sounding CD player and the interconnects are a great match. You can make up the remaining cables we talked about for the Rega and Oppo players.

  2. The second batch of cables have now fully burned in. The sound is so good that I haven't turned off the system in weeks. Prior to replacing the interconnects, I was thinking of purchasing a separate 2 channel preamplifier with home theater bypass (Anthem Pre 2L SE) but I have decided instead to try some of your Statement power cables as my next upgrade.

Equipment includes: Butler Audio tube amplifier, Anthem SS preprocessor, Rega Saturn CD player, Oppo BPD-83 SE Blu Ray player, Paradigm Reference Studio 100  loudspeakers.

Testament Speaker Cable

K G sent two messages:

  1. Just wanted to let you know I received the cables today.  Apparently they were held up in customs for a while.  I plan on testing these cables against a pair of biwire Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8's and a custom double run of cables made by Dave Schulte of The Upgrade Company.  Your cables are of very high build quality, and a solid, pleasing appearance.  I am very impressed.  Right out of the box, your cables sounded clean and clear.  I will be interested to hear how they progress as they break in.  I can tell that they will be a force to be reckoned with.
     
  2. I've finished burning in the Testaments, so I've been able to compare them to the Analysis Plus and Upgrade Company cables.  Your cables easily beat the Upgrade Company prototypes.  They were much more dynamic, clear, and simply "real" sounding.  It wasn't much of a contest.  Their superiority was apparent after 3 A-B tests.  The Testaments also beat out the AP cables.  This was a much closer match.  The cables were more alike than not.  It took many hours of listening to tell the differences.  The main difference was the Testaments were more clear and focused.  I know it sounds like a visual analogy, but the images were more sharp (as in focused, not etched).  The end result was a more realistic, relaxing sonic picture.  Again, it was amazing how similar the two cables were, but the Testaments were the winner.  This is high praise, beating out a cable that cost four times what the Testaments do.

  1. Please send me another eight foot pair of speaker cables with spades on both ends. I am using the first pair for the lower frequencies. The cables you sent earlier work great. (These replaced a set of Kimber 8TC cables)

  2. You may recall that you sold me a couple of pairs of speaker cables over the summer. The cables are great - the second pair of speaker cables replaced some very "high end" cables that I had been using. (These replaced a set of Synergistic Research cables).

Equipment includes: Moscode 401 tube power amplifier, Placette preamplifier, Linn CD player, custom loudspeakers.

I notice a smoother sound in the music combined with greater separation in the instruments, taller and wider. The midbass frequencies are more controlled (faster) and the low bass is deeper. Vocals are excellent, Sarah McLachlan and Diana Krall have never sounded better.

Equipment includes: Parasound HCA-3500 power amplifier, Adcom GFP-750 preamplifier, Shanling CD-T80 CD player, Klipsch RF-82 loudspeakers.

My new Paradigm Reference loudspeakers have arrived and I have hooked up your speaker cables. I am very satisfied with the results. They are a big improvement over the (Paul Speltz) Anti-Cables. Also everyone who sees them is impressed with the appearance. They look like a million bucks!

The speaker cables I purchased from you sound amazing. It is hard to nail down the exact difference as i am not a seasoned audiophile, but I can say it seems to have "pulled" the whole system together and has taken it to the next level.

Equipment includes: VTL 2.5 tube preamplifier, VTL MB-125 tube monoblock amplifiers, EAD-T1000 transport, MSB Gold Link DAC III with matching P1000 Power Base, Kenwood Direct Drive Turntable, Elac FS 208 Anniversary Edition loudspeakers.

Thank you very much for the cables.  They have greatly improved the overall capabilities of the system.  I now enjoy a greater bass response and control.  Also I can feel much more the presence of each instrument.  The soudstage is more defined and clearer.  However, the biggest surprise came when I watch a movie.  The amount of additional sounds that you can hear (on HT application) from the soundtrack is simply astonishing.  Simply put:  Anyone who has a serious home theater set-up should get those cables.

While my general feedback provided earlier regarding the Acoustic Zen Hologram vs. your cable remain largely valid, in my current environment your cable kills the AZ-H. PRAT, base resolution and speed, detail, air and after sufficient burn in, the humanism in the vocals closely match the AZ-H. They are more forward but not to any point to be overwelming. In a moment of curriousity i put the AZ-H in (their length looped in the hall and room) - a confirmed kill.

I really didn’t have the time or patience to burn in cables for days and weeks, nor did I treat the cables with de-magnetizing devices or anything else. I just let them warm up for a couple of hours before critical listening. I tried the Statement RCA interconnects between my ss phono preamp and tube preamp, and compared them to my more expensive interconnects: Van Den Hul The Orchid ($550), and Wireworld Silver Eclipse 5 ($700). Initial impression was that VDH & WW both had a darker tonal balance, not as natural and neutral as the Statement. In comparison, the Statement has an incredibly more open, spacious and lively character, very wide and deep soundstage. The Statement’s greater transparency and detail allowed instrumental timbres and decay, especially of piano and voices, to be so much more noticeable than the other two cables. Statement’s clarity was also liquid smooth, and did not possess any midrange grain, unlike the VDH. The treble is well extended, much more than WW, but it’s not strident, with no sibilance. The bass is not as punchy as VDH or WW, but the Statement’s balance of bass warmth, depth, body and detail was beautiful! The Statement does not exaggerate any area, which leads me to believe again that it has a very natural and neutral sound (or almost no signature).

This cable is an absolute winner!!!

After installing your Statement Digital Coaxial Cable in my system I was pleasantly surprised that the result happened exactly as you had predicted. I can easily say that the overall sound quality have improved at least 50%! My system was performing I’ll guess, at 5 out of 10 and now I would rate it at 7 or 8 out of 10. I am being conservative here since I am limited by the hardware in my system. Otherwise,  your Statement Cable has improved my system hardware to their maximum performance. Now I can enjoy much more detailed and musical sound, silkier highs, tighter and better controlled bass from the same equipment by just replacing my average quality digital co-axial interconnect with your Audio Sensibility-Statement Digital Co-axial IC. Thank you…

Equipment includes:  SONY DVP-CX995V DVD-CD Player, YAMAHA RX-V1 Receiver, PSB Silver Stratus Speakers

I hope you have been keeping well!......

To bring you up to date. On Friday a friend loaned me one of your digital cables to try between my transport and DAC. My transport is a EAD T-1000 and my DAC is a MSB Link 3 Gold. I was using a Cardas Lightning between the two. Immediately I was blown away with the difference! I called my friend back on Saturday and told him I would purchase the cable!......

I would like to talk to you regarding interconects between the MSB and the preamp. As mentioned below, I'm using the Pro Silway 3's. Would also like to discuss cables between the pre and my mono blocks. I'm currently using AZ Silver reference 2's.

I was totally blown away with your digital cable and chatting with my friend, he reinforced how much better you cables will be over what I'm currently using in the remainder of the system.

Statement Power Cable

Despite my skepticism, I agreed to evaluate your premier power cables in my home system, confident that I would not notice any difference. BOY, was I wrong and was I surprised. While I still do not understand the logic, there is NO DOUBT that my mono amps sound very significantly better in all aspects of their sound performance. More space and air, more dynamics and a greater solidity in the bass. I am not referring to miniscule improvements, but to VERY audible differences. Link to full review here.

I have done comparisons of your Statement power cable against the Acoustic Zen power cables that we have in the store. The Statement is better than the Krakatoa on every source and power component that I have tried. I especially like its wide level of compatibility with both tube and solid state equipment.  It lies between the Krakatoa ($800) and Gargantua ($1500) in my opinion, being closer to the Gargantua in overall performance. I am really looking forward to trying out your planned Signature power cable.

The Statement power cable has contributed to better sound.  I didn’t conduct an A – B test; just plugged it in a played the system through the weekend.  It did not lessen the hum from the amp or the slight “hash” from the speakers but I’m pleased, and will talk to you about interconnects at some point.

Put the Statement power cable on my preamp last night after another 60 or so hours of burn-in.  Quite a change the additional burn-in made, opened up and silk smooth.  I am interested in a second one. (Bob did pick up a second Statement power cable!).

Comments pertaining to the Statement power cable:
- Speed in spades, huge increase over Cardas
- smoother, greater than anticipate
- very open, significantly more so than Cardas
- musical, the biggest improvement from the Cardas was in tunefulness and articulation of bass What i sense is that more harmonics in the music get to play a greater part of the whole.

Equipment includes: Croft Epoch Elite SS preamplifier, Modified Organ tube amplifier (6L6 tubes), Rega Saturn CD player, Thorens TD160 turntable, Rega RS7 loudspeakers. Power cables used on preamplifier and power amplifier ((previously had Cardas GR on power and AZ Tsmuni on pre)).

I'm noticing more detail and resolution in the music that was not there before. I'm now considering a set of your premium balanced cables. Just a note to other customers, "The Statement power cable needs a week to settle in before it truly shines". (Mark did pick up a set of Statement XLR cables).

I am thoroughly impressed with the Statement power cables that I purchased from you. I had tried some other power cables (Acoustic Zen Tsunami) and they really didn't seem to do much. I am using the two power cables on my receiver and power conditioner. I listened to some of my favourite CDs and noticed an immediate difference in the sound quality. I had my brother over who is also an audiophile and he also could not believe the difference the power cables made. I am glad that you convinced me to go for the better power cables and the additional cost was definitely worth it.
