Free English translation (please click on image for original French) Crystal Cables are without a doubt the thinnest and most flexible cables in the world today, with each cable being no thicker than a single strand of spaghetti. The strands are a coaxial construction of a luxurious gold and silver alloy. As with the Ocos, their special plugs are derived directly from the aerospace industry and provide a superior connection to loudspeaker and amplifier terminals. They are available in either Furutech spades or WBT bananas with a center-pin locking mechanism. The packaging is luxurious and elegant, as expected of such a world-class product. Listening Elegant and refined. The Crystals are extremely successful in blending transparency, sweetness and definition, leading one to think of the perfect Martini cocktail … just right and you know when it’s perfect. Imaging The cables are particularly adept at rendering a precise and well-formed soundstage with an excellent sense of space, and where each instrument is precisely laid out exactly where it should be. Height, depth and width are not at all exaggerated, nor one at the expense of another. Dynamics Excellent throughout. These cables are as quick as a flash of lightning, both starting and stopping with a minimum of lag or undue decay. Similarly, dynamic contrasts are also like the flash of a lightning bolt and equally as impressive. Timbre A very nice palette of harmonics which combines delicacy, clarity, presence, and an openness to delight even the most jaded of listeners. Both frequency extremes are unsurpassed in our experience. |
