WHAT HI-FI? SOUND AND VISION - ULTIMATE GUIDE

AWARDS/REVIEW

"In use it holds excitement with a balanced sound that courts no undue emphasis across the spectrum...musical coherent and highly engaging."

HI-FI NEWS (UK)

"The words 'open' and 'spacious' were almost invented for these cables, and they communicate a room - filling sound that few cables at this price - or any price - manage."

WHAT HI-FI? AWARDS 1999/00

The MS2.3 Monocrystal™ copper conductor full bandwidth 'single-wire' is a genuine world-favourite cable. From Tokyo to Istanbul - and all points in between- the MS2.3 is fast becoming 'de-rigueur' among discerning, cost-conscious audiophiles. Never before has a cable of this precise structure, conductor purity, and quality insulation been available at real-world prices. Many are being seduced by its effortless ability to keep timing precisely, and the wide and dynamic soundstage it offers.

Not surprisingly it has received consecutive What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision 'Best Speaker Cable Award @ £20+' in 1999-01 and 2000-01. 2002 saw it receiving yet another accolade-a 'RECOMMENDED' certification from Hi-Fi Choice Magazine.

Using our patented Monocrystal™ copper conductors in our acclaimed concentric strand, rope-lay weave, this 'speaker' cable delivers a punchy, dynamic and detailed performance within a soundstage that conveys accurate width, depth and height perspectives.

Structurally, the MS2.3 consists of 3sq. mm twisted copper strands, low dielectric loss polypropylene insulation, cotton damping and soft PVC sheathing. The cotton damping is particular effective at eliminating the deleterious effects of 'microphony vibrations' (resonances) - a consideration ignored by many of our established competitors.

Having an unusually large cross-sectional area - 3sq mm of Monocrystal™ ultra-pure Copper is exceptional and would previously have been prohibitively expensive to bring to the real-world price market - lowers DC resistance (which significantly extends low frequency information) while its greater effective surface area extends high frequency information. Past experience confirms that you would have had to pay more than double to achieve what the MS2.3 offers.

The MS2.3 is also desirable where long runs of 'speaker cable' are necessary e.g. in high-end home cinema/multi-room set-ups.

Add to this the potential of bi-wiring with the solidcore MS2.15 'speaker cable' and you have a synergic cable set which conveys all of the players intentions and emotions in fully preserving signal accuracy and integrity.

In a biwire set-up, our recommendation is the use of the superior performance of MS2.3 in the bass and mid-bands - which match perfectly with our solidcore MS2.15 to extend high frequency information. This biwire cable set - the so-called MS4.45 - is available ex-factory pre-terminated and in nylon webbing- to keep the cables tidy. It represents our no-compromise, high performance bi-wire cable set.

In a tri-wire or tri-amp set-up, we recommend the MS2.3 driving the bass units and 2 runs of MS2.15, one driving the mid units and one driving the treble units for ultimate bandwidth extension and presence.
