"Imagine listening to your much-loved albums like it's the first time you hear them." Slinkylinks deliver superior performance four ways: More signal, optimum audio clarity, greater space, and more music.
Slinkylinks XMF-Series balanced interconnect
Balanced signal cables are the technically superior audio interconnection: Low-loss, low-noise, and the ability to drive long runs are important criteria for the ultimate audio sources that use balanced signal transmission. If you own balanced equipment, you owe yourself a demonstration of the Slinkyinks XMF balanced cable with ultra-fine silver, air-dielectric, and near zero metal content.
Blackest backgrounds, ultra-vivid midrange, taut, powerful bass, and the most crystalline highs you've ever heard are all part of the Slinkyinks experience. "Better imaging, timing, dynamics, and soundstaging by a wide margin." Demo a set today and find out why leading reviewers are flocking to hear the amazing new Slinkyinks pure silver, air-dielectric cables.
Since production audio cables usually depend on production wire technologies, they cannot easily be optimized for absolute best sound. Among the very best of known theoretical cable technologies -- unavailable on a practical production basis until now -- one has stood out for some time: Ultra-pure solidcore silver monofilaments encased in an air dielectric with low metal content construction.
For unprecedented clarity, Slinkylinks cables use multiple 0.25mm low-capacitance solid silver conductors in a special low-inductance configuration. Open plastic tubing encases each conductor, creating a 96% air dielectric.
While difficult to manufacture quickly, the Slinkylinks technology is easily the most perfect solution for delicate audio signals. Silver-in-air technology has been brought to earth by advanced manufacturing techniques, and the essential ingredients behind this performance phenomenon are finally available to any serious listener.
Find out why Slinkylinks have been called "clearly in another league" when compared to more expensive copper cables. Now you can enjoy reference-class performance at a fraction of the cost of boutique cable brands.
Writing for Srajan Ebaen’s high-end audio magazine 6Moons, Frederic Beudot identifies why enthusiasts have found Slinkylinks the purist’s reference standard. An excerpt:
"When describing the Slinkylinks signature sound — or as I am more and more inclined to say, its lack thereof — the focus has to be put on the midrange. To put it plain and simple, it is the most natural I have ever heard. Period. The Zus are great in that register but the Slinkylinks just seem to remove a few veils that were obscuring the music until their arrival. The result on discs with a tremendous vocal presence like Leonard Cohen’s Ten New Songs [Columbia 501202-2] is a feeling of closeness and intimacy with the singer that I had never experienced. In “Here it is” the chorus voices are both clearly delineated while at times blending with Cohen’s own in a fashion reminiscent of what one would expect in a small and intimate concert room. The signature sound of these cables is not what it does to the music but what it does to the listener – a very close encounter with the recording event, a level of detail and lack of distortion that just translate into an admirably true to life listening experience. Leonard Cohen’s deep voice came through unfiltered and each lip parting could be heard very clearly and so was a slight vibrato deep in his chest that I did not know was even there.
"Because of this level of micro-detail reproduction, soundstaging also was of the highest quality, with a lot of ambient cues, well positioned and stable (the SQ12 CD player among all its qualities is a soundstaging giant and makes it easy to detect small differences in cables and if anything, the Slinkylinks helped refine and solidify this already outstanding trait)."
“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."
“Slinkylinks takes a very simple approach: (1) Use silver as the conductor. Silver is a better (about 7% better) conductor than copper, and although they both oxidize, copper oxide is non-conductive while silver oxide is a very good conductor (e.g., silver oxide batteries); (2) Keep the conductors very thin. This minimizes the skin effect. In the case of the Slinkys, the conductors are only 0.25mm thick (250µ), which is about the size of a human hair. [...]
“Proper use of physics, and innovative minds, have come up with a real winner in the Slinkylinks cable designs. They sound great and are relatively inexpensive for something that works so well and contains precious metals. Audio Insider has a money back guarantee, so these are well worth trying out in your own system.”
