I suspect that I'll go for something better like the Van den Hul CS-122 when I upgrade my speakers.Ī great cable for the money and definitely a 5 stars product at this crazy price but for the overall sound, a solid 4 star. Comparing with similarly priced cables like the QED Qudos and CableTalk 3.1 that I have tried, this is definitely more musical and detail at the expense of deep (uncontrolled) bass. The bass suffers slightly and wasn't as extended as I wanted and the high frequencies can be harsh at times but I never expected it make everything perfect. The soundstaging significantly improved and the music comes to life with more detail, clean and open treble, good image depth and strong presence. I wasn't expecting much from this cheap cable but I was impressed. Wow! What a difference this cable made to my system's sound. I didn't want to spend too much on cables and so I bought the Gale after reading some reviews in HiFi Choice magazine. Initially I was using the QED basic Qudos cables which was provided by the dealer and I wasn't happy with the 'restrained', slightly warm sound. My system comprises of a Roksan Caspian Integrated amplifier, Arcam Alpha 7 CD player, Sony JE510 Minidisc player (both connected using SonicLink Silver Pink interconnects) and a pair of excellent Acoustic Energy Aegis One speakers. At 2 pounds per metre in the UK, it is sold exclusively by Richer Sounds. This is a simple copper cable with 315 tiny copper strands wrapped in flashy pink transparent PVC jacket.
