Firstly would like to say loan scheme is great and thanks to Jon for a extended period of loan.Now I'm not going to go into reviewer jargon here cos to be honest I don't have a bleeding clue what they talking about most of the time. I would just like to say these cables are excellent together and bearing in mind these were up against a very reputable brand ,more expensive and very we'll reviewed cables( I won't mention the name) but the spatia and Cusat seemed to be better in every department, ie bass was deep but more clarified,midrange superb very detailed and top end very sweet never bright or harsh. I feel these are very balanced cables with a very open sound and have heard details I haven't heard before on my system. Is it possible for cables to sound faster more engaging or am I just imagining it?
I have since returned my loan cables and put my other all copper cables cables back on and honestly it all sounds a bit lifeless and dull not as much sparkle or life to my music. I will be purchasing these cables as soon as funds allow by selling my other cables. I know this May not be the most in depth review but I hope this is a little bit of insight for anyone thinking of giving these a try. |

Thanks for your comments Ben. I keep hearing such good things about the Spatias, but I haven't dared try them out yet. Rightly or wrongly, I think I'll leave them until after I've done something about replacing my DAC and amplifier.

Just like to add, after agonising about speaker cable change, reading reviews of different cables, i stumbled upon grahams products. After joining this forum and reading about spatia cable, i finally ordered a 3 mtr pair. Got them yesterday. Removed an old but expensive pair of philosophy xserion cable, now i am not going to go into review speak but to anyone thinking of these cables dive in. Resolution, timbre, fine detail ,and a rightness of tone. I sit here amazed at what these cables are doing!! . Thanks to the g s team.

That's great news Chris! The Spatia knocked my "cable scepticism" firmly on the head by delivering just those qualities you mention, plus they must have put at least an octave on the bottom of my PMCs which were obviously being severely strangled by the old cable! As you say, folk should definitely "dive in"!

After fiddling around with my system a few months ago I replaced the expensive
Made in USA interconnect from CD to amp with CuSat & the sound was equally as good
if not better.Top value & performance .
