Best new Liquid conductor technologies-Audio Magic

The liquids were designed to be the most neutral cable I have ever built
along with the quietest cable I have ever built. As we all know, all metal
based cables will ring to one degree or another via signal going
down the cable or room vibrations. This ringing just adds to the overall noise
component that our speakers reproduce, other noise issues to be considered
are line noise, component internal self generated noise, noise riding the
ground, ambient rf and emi, Audio Magic has products to address all
these issues.

As far as the midrange being a problem in my design this is just not true, the midrange is where most of the music happens and to neglect that range
is just nuts, as witnessed by most of my customers over the years my products always lean towards neutrality and are very balanced over the
audio spectrum, that being said, there is no perfect product that everyone
is going to like.

In regards to your experience with the liquids it's a possibility that there
was not enough break-in on them, usually 200 hrs. and they sound good,
400 hrs and they get alot more refined, and they will improve up to 1000 hrs.
Being a neutral design they may be exposing flaws in your system???
or maybe neutral is not your cup of tea.Like I said before nothing is perfect
for everybody, I have had way to much great feedback from customers
to entertain the thought that midrange is a problem with my cables.
The liquids are the most natural sounding cable I have ever experienced
and am very proud to offer this product to the audiophile community.

Hi Jerry,
I have a lot of respect for what you do. I have heard many of your products, not just your cables. I can see real innovation behind your products which not many designers in the industry do. I also know you have lot many satisfied customers and I can see why. I would have loved to be a part of that community as well. But then if I do find some issues with the cables it should not directly imply that either my system is flawed or my taste is not neutral. I use some of the most neutral gears this industry produces, ATC speakers and Symphonic Line Amplifier. I swear by neutrality but the fact is I could hear a particular signature sound with AM cables which I could not get over with. The cables did not disappear in my system.

In the end the debate can always go on as to whether the system exposed the cable's weakness or is it the cable that exposed the system's weakness.

pani:

you may be describing what you perceive as the sound of "silver".

it's unlikely that a stereo sysyem will sound smooth and whitish. these adjectives are almopst contradictory.

depending how implemented, and the rest of the system, the so-called silver signature is most evident in the treble region.

Hello Mrtennis, I am still wondering whether we both mean the same when we say "smooth". To me smoothness is a presentation without unnecessary edges combined with lack of overall sharpness. It has nothing to do with the tone color, thats my definition.
To illustrate, two cables which I find smooth yet tonally very different are Transparent Audio and Audio Magic. The AM has a very different tonal color though.

Coming over to sound of Silver...oh yes I am highly sensitive to the sound of silver. Especially the vocal range. Even a small trace of silver sound catches my attention almost instantly. Again I would say it is mostly in the vocal range where I hear the most. And, I have realized over time that anomalies are much easier to detect than strength. Most of the "Silver" effect can be heard all the way from lower midrange to high treble. And, vocals do cover a huge range. If a cable is flawed in the highs, chances are very high that it will show up in the vocals as well and it has always done in my case. It is extremely difficult to reproduce rightness of vocals. To me till date not a single Silver interconnect has got the vocals right. I would admit that I have not tried the high end Kondo, Audio Note, Argento and the likes. Would like to try them some time and see if my perception changes. But yes, you are right that the AM cables did have some "silver" sound.

In my audio vocabulary, smooth and whitish are not contradictory. And whitish is generally a deal killer.
