I have been watching the chi-fi scene for a while now. I know that the first generation was inexpensive crappy stuff with unlistenable HF signature. Next came a plethora of digital products that were designed with AP test equipment and really impressed the likes of amirm but not the real aficionados. There is now a third generation of young and talented designers with original ideas that understand both circuit and industrial design as well as western tastes.
Having spent the past two decades with TOTL cabling from TA, nordost and ansuz , I was intrigued by srajans review of the earth cables. like him or not he is one of the few reviewers that do both hi-fi and chi-fi. These cables are crystal cable look alikes and thats where part of my curiosity came from. They cost USD 799 inc shipping.
I placed my order on March 14 with non-standard terminations. They fedexed it on March 28 and I received them on Apr 1. The packaging and build quality is really really good. I have +20 hours with them now and I am very confident in saying that they are the real-deal like srajan said.
I never owned thin cables i never owned silver cables and i never owned white cables. and would not have done so if it were not the 799 price. to my ears these cables do dynamism and harmonic richness at the same time, two seemingly contradictory traits. bass is deep and tight and the overall package is very modern, innovative and balanced. may be the HF is not like TA magnum opus but we will see about that as the cable settles more.
it wont be long before the chi-fi community will hire western consultants and start making 79k cables. i am glad i tried these cables and will also try their power cables next.
