On offer will be:
A pair of well run in silver analogue interconnects. (new improved ones to follow soon) £1696
A pair of just completed lower cost copper alternatives. £561
New version digital RCA to RCA. (this is the cable that beat the cable that beat the Gryphon ) £848
I have paid the cost of postage to the first person to try, who will then pay postage to the next in line, and so on, as appears to be the system used by others offering a tour.

Review

“Some thoughts regarding these cables.

The stereo silver interconnect cable delivers a noticeable step up in clarity and refinement, especially for listeners who value detail and precision in their audio chain. From the first listen, the most striking improvement is the sense of openness—high frequencies sound more extended and articulate without becoming harsh or fatiguing.

Instrument separation is excellent. Vocals sit clearly in the mix with a natural presence, while acoustic instruments benefit from improved texture and realism. Bass response remains tight and controlled, offering definition rather than excessive warmth, which makes this cable particularly well-suited for well-balanced or slightly warm systems.Build quality is equally impressive. The cable feels solid and well-engineered, with high-quality connectors that provide a secure, confident fit. The silver conductors are well-insulated and flexible enough for practical setup, striking a good balance between durability and ease of use.

Overall, this stereo silver interconnect cable is a strong choice for audiophiles looking to enhance transparency and resolution in their system. While it may reveal flaws in poorly recorded material, it rewards good recordings with a clean, detailed, and engaging listening experience. A worthwhile upgrade for anyone serious about sound quality”

I will obviously need the address of whomsoever may be interested, to arrange for these cables to be forwarded on to you. Even cable sceptics welcome ��

My apologies for no photographs of these cables. A bit of context regarding the missing photos - I currently have a job sailing in the Caribbean for the next 4 months and in the mad rush of packing, booking flights, parcelling up the cables to go on tour , organising taxis and buses to the airport, I neglected to photograph them first. I know that it is against the rules of Art of Sound to advertise without photographs so I will ask the person who currently has the cables to photograph them and email them to me so I can post them here.
Sincerely Charles

Look forward to some updates and photos Charles, some of my favourite Hifi gear I have has came from the artisans that decide to “Think Differently” and go their own path.

Keeping an eye on the thread here, technology seems sound.

Just the Prototype set made up so far then?

Hi Gary, in my post just above your’s, I mentioned how I’m going to try and get photographs posted. An error on my part but as explained things were very hectic. The copper interconnect and the RCA to RCA digital cable are finished products. The silver interconnects included with the other cables are the ones I compared to the Gryphon cables. That is not the one I will be selling as I have improved on it but had no time to complete for the tour. If you are keen to try them, I’d be very happy to post them to you. I will of course need your mailing address and you can contact me via WhatsApp +353838481341 or email at charleswasserfall@gmail.com. The cables are currently in Wakefield.

Gary, I've got these, do you want me to send you them?

Run all balanced here in my system, happy to say I’ve ticked the cables box,
not really something I could use?

Will hear how the next guy gets on with them. :)

Bump. Another review below. My digital cable at £848 is less than 20% of the Gryphon cable and is IMO superior. If you're doubtful about cable differences, that's fine - this loan is especially for you, it's free - only cost is forward postage.

After a week of using both the silver interconnects and the Silver Digital cable i thought ide share my thoughts , i swapped out my Hovland xlrs and acoustic zen digital cable for the waves , going from balanced to single ended i was sceptical as whenever i use single ended on my yba passion 550 pre and my Matrix Audio Element x i end up going straight back as i find every thing just gets less an almost shrinking of the sound stage , the waves although had a slight reduction it was not night and day i presume this to be either the pre or dac favours xlr over single ended ,

what did happen though was everything just snapped into focus , the clarity and separation of the instruments , the space in between notes , the micro and macro dynamics where much improved, it all became very natural nothing forced ,

using the digital cable in between the dac and my transport made for a spectacular results that has lifted the combo to new heights , i use a project rs2 cd transport and it is a great sounding combo , with the zens the sound was always good but with the waves its a super combo as with the interconnects you get all that and some , the detail retrieval and micro dynamics are of the scale i had to retake using different cables and boy the wave digital are better then anything ive heard included mit oracle , the question now is how am i going to live without it.
