According to standard audiophile nomenclature, detail and warmth are opposing options. You can have warm musicality with a soft edge or you can have highly detailed 'analytic' potentially sterile sound. The trade-off is where the art of 'synergy' exists. At least, that's been the experience of most when it comes to digital cables. This dilemma brought up a fundamental question for me; Can a cable be simultaneously ruthlessly revealing AND warm/inviting?

When I first set out to make digital cables my intent was to design a cable that could show strong evidence that this assumed dichotomy was indeed false. With the original Aero USB cable I released the worlds first cable of any sort to use Aerogel as a dielectric. Combining Aerogel UPOCC copper hand polished in house I achieved a level of detail and clarity not hear from before.

A year later I introduced Aero Ag USB which again raises the bar using an even more refined polishing process with my nano-scale polishing method and Aerogel dielectric.

Now, I've taken this same level of refinement and attention to detail to Aero Coax/BNC.

Introducing Aero Ag Coax/BNC

You might have noticed a few folks have already posted their thoughts on Aero Ag Coax/BNC here and here Quite to my suprise Aero Ag Coax/BNC has proven to be a very popular option, even though I hadn't technically released it yet. A number of AC folks have already utilized it for their digital rigs as everything from a digital cable to a clock cable. From my personal experience as well as the feedback of the numerous clients whom have used Aero Ag Coax I can say with confidence, this cable punches WAY above its price point. Compared to Aero Cu Coax, it's warmer, insanely detailed, dynamic beyond belief and deep dimensionality with texture beyond what was possible before.

But you don't have to take the AC reviewers word, nor my word, you can find out for yourself very soon. Stay tuned, I will be launching the ULTIMATE Aerogel digital tour which will include this new edition. 

For more details on Aero Ag, please take a look at Hapa Audio's website.

Keep up the Great Work Jason.

Count me in on the digital tour. I have an Aero Cu Coax, so I can compare the two.

I appreciate the kudos gents! I’m enjoying the being here on AC and sharing my creations. It’s really an amazing experience.

I realize I’m arriving 2 years late to the party, but it’s never too late to be elated. I'm excited to offer another review of the 1M Aero Ag coax cable I recently acquired. This cable is so good that I want to shout it from the hilltops! So here goes…

The Aero digital cable is transformative!!! It's like a major component upgrade. I didn't expect such a significant improvement over my Sablon Audio USB cable, and I wasn't seeking to replace the Sablon. I originally planned to add a DDC and needed another digital cable, but decided to go in a different direction after I purchased the Aero. Initially, I was beating myself up for wasting money on a cable I didn't need, but it turned out to be a good mistake.

In previous comparisons, since USB and coax sounded nearly identical in my rig, I chose USB. This time, everything sounds better with the Aero coax. Even a novice would notice the differences. The Aero is brighter (in a good way), with a bigger soundstage, faster, more dynamic, greater clarity, and more detail. What really stands out is the sizzle -- the cymbals and other shimmering instruments are incredibly lifelike. I was initially startled by how well they sound. Many of my reference songs sound completely different; they seem more natural-sounding. Oh, and I didn't bother to wait for the cable to break in, so it may get better with time.

I’ll sum it up this way – my audio system now sounds like it ought to, based on all the time and money I've put into it. 

I’ve owned a ton of ICs over the past 25 years. I now have a full loom of Hapa Audio interconnects, and I don't plan on using any other brand of cables.

I had a flash image of you standing atop Stone Mountain with a megaphone in hand announcing your discovery in 360 degrees. [Folks, this guy has a really nice sounding system!]
