Skogrand Cables?

No experience, but I agree, they look and sound very good from my demo at Axpona last week! Eager to see what others have to say who have used them for some time.

Where can I listen in the U.S.A.?

Thank you for your feedback - it was great fun exhibiting at AXPONA!
The system was connected with our SC Vivaldi speaker cables and SCI Vivaldi interconnects. The Vivaldi is our new high value cable line that we introduced at this show. The Vivaldi cable line is direct sales only.


SC Vivaldi and SCI Vivaldi:

1m:   650 USD
1,5m:   700 USD
2m:   750 USD
2,5m:   800 USD
3m:   850 USD
3,5m:   900 USD

(NB: Vivaldi model interconnects have both cable runs in one cable with split ends. Our other interconnect models are pairs of single ICs.)

What's your turnaround time on responding to emails sent to

Also, is Kipins- Studios still your US retailer? There contact info keeps getting rejected in email?

I have purchased a set of Skogrand Vivaldi speaker cables (used). I have an Octave V70 with Kef  R101 and Thiel CS1.5 speakers to use with them.  I will report on my findings.

I am using Skogrand Tchaikovsky speaker cables and Skogrand Werner power cables. They are amazing cables. Best in PRAT. Got it used. Otherwise very expensive. For me they are end game cables in my system (along with Hemingway Z core beta, Echole Omnia and Ansuz C2). 

I like their website because it details the important features - like

1. Solid UP-OCC wire for fast dynamic performance
2. low dielectric constant - for clarity and details
3. Conductor spacing cable geometry - for low noise floor

These are the things that make for great cables.

They are extremely expensive and there are way too many models, making it difficult to assess which one is best other than by price🙄

So if money is on object then these are the cables for you

For the rest of us there are more affordable options like

• In-Akustik - great cable geometry for low noise
• Zavfino - they use UP-OCC copper for fast dynamics

Feel free to join us over on the Thiel Owners thread. I look forward in reading more about your CS 1.5 loudspeakers and system.

 

Happy Listening!

Well I Have spent a month with the Skogrand Vivaldi speaker cables and I can say with confidence that they have performed way above what I had thought they would. I have used them with a set of Kef R101s and Thiel cs1.5s. in each instance the cable provided well laid out soundstage with beautiful clarity. No sonic signature just  realistic sounds. and textures. Purchasing these was an unknown as I never heard of the company and there was not much out there to read but what was available was very positive so I took a chance. The Gentleman I bought them from was very informative and helpful as well so I feel lucky in that regard. If the opportunity comes your way to purchase this particular model used(they are no longer in production) jump on them you will not be disappointed.
