Slic Cable Reviews

[rubber duck]

All cables will impose their own sound. But we need to be sure that we are correctly identifying the sound of the cable rather than the interaction of the cable with the system or what it reveals of the system. If my system was warm and woolly, and I've balanced this with lean, bright sounding cables, a more neutral or revealing cable will sound warm and woolly. I may therefore declare my cable better in my set-up but this is an entirely separate issue from which cable is better.

I'm going to throw my oar in here and say that no cable has a 'sound' of it's own IMHO.
It is the interaction of the kit at both ends of the cable that will alter the perceived sound. Or to use the best word, the synergy of the Source/Cable/Amp as a whole.

...... I'm not suggesting Bev's system is coloured .....

Far from my idea of a neutral speaker, but I guess your mileage may vary.

Post of the year so far, Jeff, and likely explains 90% of the negative comments aimed at the Gothams!

What you've just written is *so* fundamentally correct, it almost makes me jump up and down with the excitement of demented daftee... I do hope people take note.

I will be making no further comments on the SLIC as I think I've said all I need to.... it's only a cable....

Hmm... .

Well it has taken me quite a while to finally decide on my main RCA cable and it is to be the SLIC cable !!

I have had other cables to try against the SLIC and they have been very good indeed, however the SLIC has 'SOMETHING', which I can't quite put my finger on but every time I put it back into the sytem it makes me smile and I get really into the music, it is certainly very real sounding and emotional, so the SLIC stays in the sytem

I can only thank David for being so patient with me in deciding which cable is to stay in the system ...... thanks David

I can really recommend the SLIC and I urge others to try it out in their system, you have 30 days to trial it so there is no risk.... it is certainly highly recommended by me

Thanks David for such a super product and for being so patient

I hope the following makes some sense to other peeps.....

I think that while you are evaluating new equipment, including cables, you loose direction slightly.....

I think you just listen out for differences between the new and old, and you don't really enjoy your music as you are always comparing the items.. I'm sure I am not alone in that thought

As some will know I have taken an absolute age to decide that the SLIC RCA cable is a keeper

However now I have decided that the SLIC is a permanent fixture I can again just enjoy my tooooooons.... without constantly comparing it to other cables

I am findng it quite a new lease of life... if that makes any sense whatsoever
