Best new Liquid conductor technologies-Audio Magic

I now have compared and now own 2 of Audio magics new Liquid Air cables this new liquid conductor is the 1st True liquid conductor on the market I have the Sorcerers
which I did compare with many $1k interconnects and these cables are smooth at first you think a little laid back but not the case there is no metal in the conductor .All metal based cables have inherant high frequency ringing that comes out as distortion and pick up RFI Not so with these cables they take a solid 300 hrs just to start settling in.IN my main system I have the Illusions
I just want to report that the interconnects are breaking in very well I am hearing details in Beatles music and voices that were just a blur in other high end cables and voices sound true to life with exceptional timing and depth if instruments is exceptional even after 300 hours the Bass is exceptional and very articulate. I am told they will continue to improve ,it is hard to believe they can get better still, these liquid Illusion interconnects are the best new
cable technologies I know of.I can tell you briefly the speaker cables just increase the performance even better. A good description would be in a nutshell a very natural sounding signal . Check them out they have 4 different price groups even the entry level cable is better than anything in it's price group overall.

there is another issue. if the cables were described as smooth and whitish. those two words contradict each other. whitish implies a grain structure.

perhaps pani meant to use another word, but it would have to be consonant with smooth, in order to be consistent.

what say you pani ??

Hello mrtennis, When I said smooth I meant it never sounded hard or harsh. Edges were too etched or sharp. The whitish thing I was referring to was about the timbral-glow of the instrument. I would say it was not very severe like some of the silver cables but it was there.

Audioman58, my associated equipments were as follows,
Transport : TEAC VRDS 10
DAC : Reimyo DAP777
Preamp : Acoustic Portrait PM1 Tube preamp
Power amp : Symphonic Line RG1 MK4
Speaker : ATC SCM40
Speaker cable was by Einstein Audio Germany (all copper).
Power cords were again all pure copper designs by Oyaide.

Pani, which Audio Magic Liquid Air cable did you try as there are 4 levels of them. As I mentioned earlier in this thread I had auditioned the Clairvoyant Liquid Air IC,s and I did end up buying them. They outperformed my Shindo IC's by a fair amount. The thing I liked about the shindo cables was the tonal qualities were more real. Surprisingly I find that the Clairvoyant cables were a major step up from the shindo in this area. Images have more body at the same time having much more detail. Things like sax/trumpet and cymbals have a more real sound to me with this cable. Most other cables I have had add artifacts to the sound which may be mistaken for extension but is really not music.

Hello A big part of your problem is your power your speakers ar super ineficient 85db and these speakers go into the 3 ohm range you need at least 250 wpc into 8ohms
O think Mr. tennis is correct.etween the very high xover point around 2.5khz that is right in the heart of the midrange this and taxing your amplifier I can see this
happening. I have no issues whatsoever with the Audio Magic Liquid Illusions the Brass has tons of bite ,after reading this my and my freinds played Miles davis kind of Blue and Between the standup Bass Piano and Trumpet
it was like the event was in the room .I am sorry these cables are outstanding in my reference system by any standards.My brothers freind have the one just under mine
with the Sorcerers and no such complaints. What model did you have and where did you get them from ? was it a whole system interconnects and speaker cables ?

Hi Dmailer, nice to hear that you really found a great cable for your system.

I am still waiting for that to happen. I heard the Illusion Liquid Air.

I could give a Clairvoyant another shot but it is not available where I live (India). If I get one I would love to try it.

I would like to respond to these outlandish accusations.I have both the Audio Magic Liquid Air interconnects as well as loudspeaker cables and I can say through experience the Bass and horns included did seem a little thin at first ,But after about 400 actual playing hours the cables sound stage ,instrumental layering and wholeness of the performance
just came together as a synergistic unit. I did try them with other cables. I do not recommend buying just interconnects or vs versa. If you did this then I can understand why possibly you were not happy .The capacitance and resistance is totally different and the synergy may not work out .This is why I bought the interconnects then shortly after the speaker cables .The Illusions are superb.
