Listening Impressions

Mozart pieces sound fresh and delightful—string textures are silky, woodwinds lush yet crisp, expressing joy and brilliance.
With LS 3/5 speakers, the cable delivers delicate vocals and fluid mids; switching to PM-10 horns reveals brighter timbre, faster pace, and taut, clean bass performance.

Rebecca Pidgeon’s “Spanish Harlem” shows exceptional low-end articulation. Each pluck on the bass feels crisp and bouncy, clearly outlined with vitality. The contrast with her sparkling vocals is stunning. When piano and violin join in, the music gains shimmer and richness without harshness.

“Piazzolla For Two” demonstrates the cable’s realism: breathy flute nuances and guitar percussive strikes are reproduced vividly, creating a fully immersive tango experience.
