Reference Pure Solid Gold Interconnect Prior attempts at a solid gold interconnect have always shown excellent potential, and for some this was good enough, but for me the weaknesses were too great for me to recommend this route. I have spent two years trying to discover a design that could give me every aspect my customers desire, plus improve on the magic of the midrange that only gold can offer, plus I have discovered a clarity beyond any cable made! This means improving the PRaT, bass leading edge and note structure, dynamics, high end extension, open free treble, shimmer, decay as well as providing accurate reproduction of strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion, and most vital, human voice. To become a Reference Jade Audio cable it needed to soundstage deeper and wider than the Hybrid. It needed to image tighter, and more three dimensional; and it needed to be more realistic, not cut out imaging, three dimensional imaging. Beyond these parameters, it needed to be musical, yes I said musical. It needs to form a note as it is formed in a live instrument, a leading edge must be present, the note needs body and definition, it must build, and peak and then decay into the environment it is being produced in. If you listen for musicality and not just audiophile adjectives, then this is your dream come true. Musicality, how do we define this word? I would say real, dimensional but most of all enjoyable. I listen to music for all the nuances, but really to relax and enjoy a presentation. Well this is the cable that will have you stop listening for what is wrong, and start enjoying all that is right. Your mind will stop the analytical side and open the creative side, allowing you to move where the music takes you. As if the bar was not high enough, it needed magic. The magic was the surprise for me. I discovered some characteristics of reproduced sound I never knew were possible. I am saying that every one of these areas has improved, by a significant enough margin that I was comfortable saying this cable betters the old in each aspect. I recommend the Solid Gold for solid state systems and overly analitical systems. |
