Cable Enthusiasts. When it comes to cables it’s about quality and matching. THOUGHTS?


I recently had a customer demo the Infigo vs. the Shunyata Omega. He gave me feedback. I have had customers go from Shunyata to Infigo.  He claimed that in his system that the Shunyata Omega was better . He proceeded to tell me it wasn’t close.  I proceeded to tell him one of my first customers heard our Infigo in his very expensive system and proceeded to purchase a whole loom of our Infigo because it sounded better in his system than the Shunyata and that customer said it wasn’t even close. The Infigo cables were better. I explained to him that your amps, dacs, and speakers will require different things depending on your combination. Also the cables also must be of good quality. That’s why I give free demos.  All cables are not for all systems. Properly shielded and good materials. Just my opinion. What are your thoughts?  I’m with Infigo Full disclosure.

My ideas about Cables has in recent years been more aligned to not the Construction of the Cable only, but quite focused on the Wire Type used for the Signal Path.

This has been the fundamental of my Cable Interest until a more recent demonstration.

I will make it easier to Grasp.

1, 2 x Identical Cables with Brand Specified Terminations are available costing close to £500 per metre for each Cable for each cable. 

2, 1 x Cable is subjected to being trialled with alternate designs for Terminations, where RCA Connectors are Solid Copper, but typically Low Mass or Low Eddy by design. Where Low Eddy became the choice selected by the Cable owner.

3, Same Analogue Source > 2 x same Phonostages are available both to be connected to the same Power Amp'.

Power Amp' has been adorned with Solid Coppper Low Eddy Connection on the Chassis in advance, as a result of earlier trials.  

4, 1 x Phonostage Pre' has Low Mass Solid Copper Connectors on the chassis, the other has Low Eddy Solid Copper Connectors on the chassis.

All Wire used in the Signal Path from Tonearm Wand Wire to Power Amp' is PC Triple C.

The use of Low Eddy Connectors with this Wire Type proved to be substantial as a comparison to Low Mass Solid Copper. 

The Cable with Producers Termination just fell to the way side as a selection and this was extremely impressive.

The investigations undertaken in this system, discovered an interface that far surpassed any other that could be put in place where an easy removable umbilical was to be maintained.

The extra time spent, certainly showed where a impressive End Sound Cable and f very well put together Cable Design, was able to be modified and present beyond what the manufacturer had been able to create as their saleable Cable.
