“I’ve been looking for a speaker cable that facilitates a balanced set of sonic improvements without causing detrimental effects where they don’t currently exist. Over many years, I’ve experimented with some very highly regarded cable brands such as Cardas, Wireworld, Chord Company, XLO, Kimber, etc. I’ve generally gotten good, but different, results with all of them. For example: the XLO’s delivered amazingly sharp clarity and bass slam; the Cardas sound was smooth and relaxed; Wireworld and Chord cables were nicely balanced and I would highly recommend either brand to anyone looking for good value.
However, what I discovered with the Monks Tether cables is nothing short of a true revelation. Improvements to soundstage depth and width were immediately apparent; it was easy to identify the placement of instruments within the soundstage; imaging was improved so much that I was truly startled, everything came into sharp focus and, best of all, the speakers effectively disappeared. I’ll have to admit that I was somewhat skeptical that such affordably priced cables could deliver such sonic rewards, but after a few hours of blissful listening I’m thrilled to say that I have found an incredible sounding cable. I couldn’t be more pleased with my decision to purchase these cables.” Jack R., Reston, VA If you are using conventional or thick speaker wire in your hi-fi system, you are in for one of the most fascinating upgrades. If your speakers are bi-wire or bi-amp capable, then you are in for double audio pleasure.
Do you have a great amplifier and a great set of speakers but the system just seems dull, maybe there is a communication problem between them, these cables are guaranteed to fix that. Imaging: Much greater musical detail conveyed to the speakers leading to a focus of performers on the soundstage. I am able to determine room acoustics of the original recordings in my setup. Soundstage: Discover similar qualities and part of the “warm” extension of tube audio from solid state; also take tube audio to the next level with greater life-like voices. These cables have been extensively tested with both, and produce better results for soundstage with both types of setups. Vintage Hi-Fi 24K gold plated spades are available with Monks Tether. Bass improvement: My gain going from regular topology to bi-wire with these cables was about 30 Hz south of where the bass previously rolled off. Your experience may be less dramatic. Bass also becomes more defined instead of one blurred mess of vibrations and thumps. Can you tell the difference between a real bass drum and an electronically generated bass drum on your system? Mids: Become lifelike. There is much subtle mid-detail in the highs and lows being communicated to your speakers by the amplifier. Much of it is lost by conventional speaker wire due to resistance. You end up hearing just the tones that produce the most micro voltage peaks. These cables test up to 300% less resistance than some conventional speaker wire. Treble: Much cleaner and higher response all around. No harshness whatsoever is introduced, but echoes and timbres of cymbals become apparent and lifelike. Percussion high-hats actually sound like high hats and not ticks of a clock. Backgrounds: What would actually sound like a shadow to the leading music actually receives its own character as performed and detail hidden by inferior wire inefficiencies is uncovered subtly. You may also discover mistakes and hiss in recordings. Nom. Velocity of Propagation (NVP): 0.72 (72% the speed of light) The cable is made carefully to order; if you desire a length other than listed, contact me at the email below and I will send you a full price list. Custom lengths available. Maximum cable segment length is 50 feet.
