Since everyone is throwing in his or her own opinion (obviously), and since mine's as good as anyone else's...
...To quote Lloyd Walker:
"Anybody can give you 90-95% of the music, but that elusive 5-10%...that's where the magic is..."
It is a fact that cables are as crucial to the great sonic performance of a system as any other component in the audio signal, or power, chain. There are many overpriced cable brands, i.e. low performance per dollar, but careful consideration should be given to cables so that they are proportionate in performance relative to the rest of the system - actually allowing the full musical potential and contribution of the connected equipment to be realized.
Almost every high-priced, high-end audio cable is derived from off-the-shelf wires, made from inferior metals, extruded in poor insulators, which are the products of machines which are designed to run wire and cable by the kilometer. This very inexpensive wire comes off a gigantic roll from mass manufacturers that make the most common, ordinary wire. The exterior of the cable is dressed up, connectors are installed, and there you have your typical so-called “high end audio cable.” Mass produced, packaged and advertised to have the illusion of high quality exquisiteness. This is the general wire and cable industry infiltrating into the special audiophile cable market. The basic difference between the off-the-shelf cable made by these huge corporations and most high-end music cables boils down to only one thing...the label. The gospel truth is most audio cables are not handmade with exacting attention to detail by craftsmen who have a passion for music.
But this is not so at Revelation Audio Labs! Each and every one of RAL cables is passionately handcrafted by caring, dedicated artisans, starting with a single bare conductor, and building upon that. RAL are not cables that are run through machines ordained to spew out vast abundance of commodity.
Revelation Audio Labs offers a full 30-day audition period. Audition them in your system for 30 days risk-free. Obtain the use of the best audio cables you can find from a friend or from a friendly audio dealer. Perform A/B comparisons of RAL cables to the very best available. If you are not satisfied with RAL cables for any reason, return them freight-collect for a full refund of your original purchase price.
Audition in your system is the only way to know which cables are right for your system. But don't automatically sell your music short by connecting great equipment with inferior cables.
