Signal Projects Cables

[kimurastanley]

Could not find much discussion on Signal Projects cables in WBF. Wondering any users here?

Looking at their websites, there are clear explanation about their technology on conductors, insulation, shielding and grounding of the products.

Not much exposure in North America.
I’m using a Golden Sequence PC and P40 LE (posted here).
They have a full lineup just like Espirit. Something for every price range.

Could you shed any lights on golden sequence PC sounds? And have you compared with other brand?

Don't like the website which uses far too many words to explain "cables 101" without identifying anything novel or special about the the technology of their cables. Compare for example with Lessloss' explanations of their technological advances/features. The listed specifications and conductor descriptions don't tell you what they will sound like, and with all of the detail there is no description of the dielectric or shielding. Also suspicious that any cable company could have meaningful technical (as opposed to marketing) distinctions between ten different "Series" of cables. They have reviews but none in the major audio publications. Doesn't mean they don't make good cables, but for me their presentation and critical commentary is not compelling enough for me to want to audition them.

Agreed. Their website is a tad technical.
Best to search for dealers to demo.

Signal Projects Lynx and Apollon

These Signal Projects cables provide a superbly liquid, lush, deeply saturated, highly refined, and smooth sound but, especially in the case of the Apollon, with great transparency and resolution. This is seduction at its best.

I have used Signal Projects entry level Alpha power cable and digital coax cable.
The coax cable was a nice surprise, nothing like a typical entry level. Serious stuff.

They have zero distribution in the North America.

 

[Forte]

Email them. They may have one..still.

Was just making an observation. I use Cardas and Signal Cable out of NY.

Their US representation is by Chris Thornton / Artisan Fidelity. I've just today ordered an Apollon phono cable to pair with the also just ordered Reed 5a.

Bump:

Any new reports on Signal Projects cables?

Got hooked on them via Florian.
I almost have an entire loom from them (missing one xlr) of SilverQuest line and i absolutely love them. Deliberatly i choose this line as it is Ag based while the others are mix of Cu/Ag/Au or pure Cu which I’m not an extreme fan of.
They are super well made and they deliver in sense of SQ everything I’m looking for - being fast, detailed, liquid, palpable sound.
So really nothing to complain about.
And in US Suncoast is a new distro so i guess they can be demoed as well.

 

[Ron Resnick]

Interesting!

Can you give us any comparative impressions? What were your incumbent cables?

What sonic comparisons did you undertake?

 

[Golum]

Before these i had entire loom of FTAs and before that mix and match of many different ones from Shunyata, Crystal Cable, WAY, LessLoss, etc but in reality only valid comparison can be made vs FTA as predecessor of SignalProjects.
And there, there is just not much to write about as these are better in every single sonical department so I’m a very happy camper.
BTW I’m using them for more then a year now so writing about any details ia just not possible as such.

Thank you.

The two best sounding cables I've ever heard - by far - are Stealth Audio Cables and Signal Projects.

My previous cables I had settled on in my system were Siltech.

I have both Stealth and SP in my system and have done extensive listening comparing.

To my ear the difference is the SP's are a bit more tonally rich and a bit more full bodied and the Stealth are a bit more neutral.

Both are exceptional. It's simply a matter of the preference and system synergy.

Current loom comprising of Atlantis / Andromeda , with an Avaton phono RCA to be delivered … Quite excellent stuff.

 

[Forte]

12 different lines/pricepoints. I’ve been told if starting out, Silverquest is good as it contains silver.

Hi Forte,

Just because something contains silver, or copper or fill in the blank, doesn't make it "good". To buy based solely on the material will not lead to success.

Having said that I've tried several of the SP cables and feel the real magic starts at the Apollon level and goes up from there.
