Speaker Cable Reviews

I received and unpacked your speaker cables a short time ago. I was gobsmacked. These left my Osborn cables well behind. The black magic cables are a big improvement in every area. I can honestly say I haven’t heard speaker cables this good. I am also impressed with the great courier experience from DHL.

Beyond anything I have ever experienced. If you blindfolded me and told me I was listening to new $80,000 loudspeakers I would not doubt it for a moment. Stunning. Beyond my upgrade to a $30K Goldmund Amp.

Power Cable Reviews

It sounds excellent as usual right out of the box. It’s been few months since my last purchase. What surprised me is the improvement that you Mad Scientist family made to the cable. The UK plug is now very secured with additional part inside. Furthermore the graphene contact enhancer at the fuse contacts is a nice touch (because I use SR Orange fuse so have to open). Really appreciate your efforts.

I put the cable on the pre-amplifier as I read again Christiaan’s review with his tests on Audio GD.And, yes ! He is just right.The sound doesn’t seem to be tight or gathered anymore, bass sound became very precise and quite full. This cable seems to fit perfectly with the pre-amplifier from Audio GD.

It’s been about 2 weeks that the power cord is in my system so it is burnt in now, and I can say that I am very happy with your product : not only the sound is musical and dynamic as advertised, but the hum coming from my power amplifier has decreased significantly also.

Graphene Contact Enhancer Reviews

I bought your Graphene Contact Enhancer and I learned how to use it, using a very very thin coat of your product on previously cleaned, deoxidized contacts.I used it on ac cords contacts, rca and xlr contacts and finally pins on Pavane KT-88 and GENALEX 12AU7 PINS.The result is simply prodigious, stunning. The sound becomes so clean, so pristine , not boosted but fully extended with so much better bass, mid-range and high frequencies. The transparency is incredible like a pure clean glass no tint, no dirt.The contribution of your graphene contact enhancer is obvious and based upon real science, graphene being very conductive at a nano level. Bravo for your product.

After having applied the Graphene Contact Enhancer I was really totally impressed. The sonic improvement (more “air”, bass, soundstage, Dynamics etc.) is considerable! Great product!!

USB Cable Reviews

Good afternoon. I just wanted to say that the Black Magic USB sounds very good for now about nearly 50 hours of listening. So I can absolutely recommend it. Thank you.

JD – Luxemburg

Anyway it sounds very impressive from a very short listening session. Very good extension from top to bottom. Organic and quick.

The Black Magic Ultra USB cable is excellent, thanks!

The moment I swapped your cable in and turned the album on again, I was startled. I instantly found the violin music much sweeter, more accurate, more alive. The difference was not subtle.

When I returned from my chore, I did a number of A-B comparisons. It seems clear your cable is removing some kind of muddying effect that I was unaware was present. One extreme example was on a recording of Diana Krall, where she was backed by an orchestra. While her voice quality was excellent, coming through my old cable, the orchestra sounded a bit like music played through an old radio—artificial and two-dimensional. When I swapped in the Black Magic cable, suddenly the massed strings sounded like an actual orchestra, although diminished in volume, and the orchestra changed from sound to music. Astonishing.

I connected the Ultra and played a few songs from my hard drive. Immediately I was blown away by how much better it was than the Curious cable, in every respect. It sounded clearer, detail was much better as was ambience, smoothness, separation of instruments, size of soundstage and how the sound flowed from my speakers. It was not subtle. I would not have thought a usb cable could have made such a big difference. Your cable wasn’t inexpensive but feel that my purchase was good value. Will look more closely at your other cables.

Digital Interconnect Reviews

Black Magic Ultra Digital Interconnect has arrived and I was able to listen to the Cyrus transport for the first time. There is no point to having a piece of audio equipment of this magnitude if you are going to keep it on a leash with poor cables. Man, this thing is a revelation. I believe in burn in. Its a real phenomenon. But after less than two hours, the Cyrus transport made this gradual shift into another realm of audio reproduction. I’m not exaggerating. I thought it was going to do this when I eventually got the external power supply (the PSU-XR), because, while very good, it was still lagging behind my computer set-up in terms of imaging and soundstage dimensionalality. I have HQ Player along with a Yellowtec Puc2 Lite usb to aes/ebu DDC with an ifi Elite power supply that is insanely good. So, I knew the Cyrus had more in the offing.Well, the Black Magic cured those ailments! I have no idea how it’s going to sound better after more burn in or how and where the Cyrus can possibly improve with the external power supply, but i’m looking forward to finding out! I can’t thank you enough. If anyone asks me what made the biggest impact in my audio chain, i’ll simply have to say JerrysBeard!

I received the shipment yesterday and all I can say is WOW! By far the best digital interconnect I have ever heard. Super happy! I will “spread the word” as you requested.

Network Cable Reviews

I am listening to some music right now and I must say I am quite impressed by the increased “depth” of the sound stage — I do not know about burn-in time but I already quite enjoy what I am listening — I may order an analogue cable later on.

PP – France

I would LOVE to be one of the first to hear your speaker cables when possible. Oh and your network cable outdid the $2100 example suggested for my new Goldmund DAC/amp- made by the same company and 4 times the price of yours and not as good.
