Review: XLO 1.1 signature Interconnect

Category: Cables

I purchased a pair of Harmonic Technology Magic in January and was wondering how my previous reference cable the XLO signature would compare and purchased a pair of signature cables used for $250. Straight out of the package even though the signature wasn't used previously it was no contest especially in the bass the signature seemed to have another octave lower bass extension and considerably more weight and definition,the midrange is much more transparent compared to the harmonic cable which has a veiled sound kind of like a fog where you can't see or hear through clearly in this case. Their wasn't any sonic parameter in which the XLO wasn't superior to the harmonic cable. I'd assumed cables had been improved in the last ten years and the signature was completely obsolete by now. I was totally wrong.

XLO has it's special sound characteristic which no one can match --- The Nice Bass
Up until nowadays, after 6 years, I am still in love with XLO products, especially the Signature Series they had.
Their top-of-the-line cables are not cheap, but they are also not incredibily expensive like Transparent, Tara Labs...etc
If you like well defined bass, you gotta get XLOs.
When compared to XLOs, most other cables are just lacking dynamic, low-end definition, image & focus...etc The Signature Series might be a little harsh, but I think their Limited and Unlimited Series has solved this problem.
