for the UniCrystal™ Silver Hookup wire


I used this stuff a few years back. Of course, as a gearhead, I had to change. I tried some very nice and fairly expensive ($2000+ per meter) wires. I've upgraded my mains to Lowther PM4s from DX3's and while I was at it, dropped in a couple of meters of this stuff I had left over.

Altogether better resolution, soundstage, etc. May not be the best for a peaky system or harsh tweeters, but I'm wondering why I ever changed. Omega Mikros (the versions I've tried) are somewhat similar and I think they're wonderful and accurate, but breathtakingly expensive, for me at least.

You may see some Acoustic Revive cable for sale soon, since it's the second best stuff I've tried in 30 years in this hobby. I'm sure there's other great stuff out there, but at this price with this performance, (maybe just forget the price), I ask myself, "what's not to like?"


Product Weakness: not altogether easy to handle, fragile and breaks easily if you try to bend it. Requires some care in handling, but nothing like Omega Mikro. On the other hand, if you break it, you don't drop to your knees crying about it. Just order another run for a c-note.
Product Strengths: as above
