More on Slinkylinks from Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity.

In a follow-on opinion to his previous review, John E. Johnson tries out the Slinkylinks speaker cables.  This enlightening review includes measurements proving just how non-reactive Slinkylinks really are.  It’s this ultra-low reactance that lends these special silver-in-air cables their organic, honest sound.  If you demand nothing stand between you and your music, these wires deserve your attention.

“I turned on the hi-fi system one evening after putting in the Slinkylinks speaker cables (that was the only change), put on some classical music, and began some listening while my wife was reading next to me. This was the first time she had heard the system since I put in the Slinkylinks (I do listening tests during the day by myself for the most part). She did not know I had added anything, but immediately pointed out the increased detail and asked what I had changed in the system.

“Notice that the Slinkylinks have lower capacitance and inductance than the other cables. This is a good thing. The lower the better. The general trend in thinking is that it is better to have low capacitance for interconnects, while for speaker cables, it is better to have lower inductance. The Slinkylinks are low for both factors.

“Slinkylinks have a more obvious difference that probably just about anyone would be able to hear.
