" " I can say they are among the better cables we have used with our equipment. They present an impression of good image size and weight, with a natural sense of body. I can honestly say that I'll miss having them around...Once again our thanks" From Sam Santos of Velodyne: " We have been very happy with the interconnects and would like to thank you for the opportunity to use them, Thank You!" From Peter Keil: “Received the two new sets of Cryo Gold Alloy Sonnet II interconnects yesterday. They are beautifully made and a credit to your workmanship. I fitted them last night and listened again to my favourite music. Even without burning in, an improvement was immediately evident. Acoustic solo guitar highs have now a “shimmering” quality, each singer in unaccompanied choral work is distinctly resolved, solo piano has that wonderful “bite” of the real instrument, and all traces of listener fatigue over hours of listening, have gone. The quality of reproduction, now even more revealing, is so good that there is no sense of “ too loud”. Cranking up the volume now means more amplitude but no attendant distortion/noise/pain. I feel that my system is working near its optimum and I’m very pleased & satisfied. I have had the opportunity to try very very expensive interconnects before I tried yours. I always knew my system could do better, but not at any price. Your interconnects are as good, if not better, than some of the biggest names in cable. For my money, they’re an absolute bargain. I look forward to many more hours of listening pleasure.” We are a quiet motion in this great thing called music, trying to bring the best to you in the simplest and most cost effective way as possible. No, you won’t find fancy packaging ( except for our vacuum sealed bags for raw wire) or polished wooden boxes. Usually we just ship with a paper wrapping and place it in a box or USPS envelope. However if you would like a special cover on our cables please let us know and we will be happy to accommodate you. about this designYou are bidding on a 24" 99.999% (5n)Pure Silver (Certificate of Purity available upon request) and Teflon Ultra-flexible tonearm wire set ( each set consists of 4 wires, attached to each wire is a Cardas cartridge clip which can be easily attached to the phono cartridge pins. At my home I have a SOTA turntable with an SME arm, the 99.999% Pure Silver tonearm wire set works beautifully in this set-up. If you would like a sample of the wire to test it's flexibility please e-mail me and I will be happy to send you out a small piece at no charge. (Each wire can be easily trimmed to match the length that is needed by your tonearm) Also included with the tonearm wire set is a High-Purity 4% silver solder supplied to us by the wire manufacturer, this allows an almost seamless transition between the wire and its connecting points. Some delicate soldering skill is required when using this wire. The 29.7ga. 99.999% (5n) wire used in the construction of this tonearm wire set is made for us by a company that specializes in high-end audio and RF specific silver wire technology.(Aerospace microwave and Medical imaging) What makes this wire so special in my view is not only the purity of the silver, but the special way it is manufactured. The wire starts out by being drawn thru a 28ga. die, after being drawn, the wire is polished not once like our other wires but three times to reduce its size down to 29.7ga. The idea behind this is to remove as many possible aberrations in the wire as possible, if more "pits " or "valleys" are found than acceptable by the manufacturer the wire is scraped and re smelted. After the wire passes inspection it is coated with an anti-tarnish liquid and placed into ultra-flexible Teflon tubing. Affixed to each tonearm wire set is a tag, (as a size reference for the wire, the tag measures 1 1/2" in diameter) the tag has a serial number on it which is given to us by the manufacturer, this number shows the date of manufacture and spool run number of the wire. The wire used in the tonearm wire set is a continuous-pull silver...the metal crystals in the wire are longer than standard off-the-shelf wire. The less "stress cracks" in the wire formation reduces the diode effect resulting in superior conductivity. Specifically designed for microvolt level signals, this wire has no peers...absolutely beautiful transparency, resolution, and transient response. The music reproduced through our wire has a very "right" pace and rhythm to it. TOTALLY neutral, this wire will reveal all things in your system. Soundstage width, depth, AND height so palpable that with your eyes closed you will swear you are at the performance. After break-in (about 150 hours of play time under these small voltage conditions) you will hear a transparency and smoothness from top to bottom with absolutely no brightness or hard edge...and the midrange, it is total liquid beauty. There is no magic here just the result of high purity silver and a long crystal structure. I am not bragging or over stating the musical quality of this wire, all you need to do is check our feedback to grasp the total picture. shipping information Shipping and insurance via USPS Priority Mail is $4.50 for delivery in the U.S.A.
