Description
Our new line Endorphin Ribbon Air Suspended Interconnects use a new Ultra-Pure Copper Hybrid Ribbon with a special hand applied super-conductive coating. This new conductor has no dielectric and is suspended is a proprietary sleeve so there is virtually no contact with the sleeve.
The RCA and XLR connectors of the interconnects are custom modified frames and there are no shells. These connectors attached to the body of the ribbon interconnect with small ultra -pure custom copper multi-treated clips – so the connectors and the interconnect body are detachable. With this design the optimal ribbon width can be used as it is no longer limited to the size of the width of the connectors shell.
Our connector design also contributes to increased performance over all other air dielectric IC cables as our minimum connector with no body (shell) proved to offer a higher level of performance.
So with the optimum ribbon width, the elimination of the dielectric and most of the hardware associated with the connectors used on an interconnect cables the results are striking in terms of the gain in bass, sound-stage, purity and transparency – the dielectric and hardware on any cable is responsible for a considerable amount of distortion that very noticeably degrades the music. Once you audition our Endorphin Ribbon Air-Suspended Interconnects you will clearly hear and understand the advantage.
The Endorphin Ribbon Air-Suspended Interconnects perform extremely well with both tube and solid state components.
Our new Endorphin Ribbon Air Suspended Interconnects are guaranteed to out perform any other interconnect on the market regardless of price and we extend our return policy for these to 90 days so you can test and compare their performance to your present interconnect cable.
The New Stefan AudioArt Endorphin Ribbon Air Suspended Interconnects and Speaker Cables are a really eye-opener. The cumulative effect on a system provides the most significant improvements we have experienced in a properly setup audio system. Once in place all the extra “artifacts” you did not know you were hearing in the music are gone. In the reproduction of sound these improvement are huge as the music you experience is now just more like live music.
The Endorphine cables (headphone cable for Senn 800S and XLR interconnects) arrived Nov. 5th, election day in fact. So they’ve been in use since then, and I think it is time for feedback now.
To cut things short – I was blown away by the improvement from the first minute on. Now I could reiterate what others have said, like incredibly precise bass, natural sweet treble, excellent soundstaging, but it is not just this that makes these cables so special. First of all they really allow the superb Phonitor xe preamp to fully realize its potential, resulting in a musical presentation that is incredibly detailed and natural without being fatiguing or over-analytical. What I admire most is that these cables have an uncanny ability to recreate the live atmosphere of a recording venue, giving breathing space and ambience to instruments and voices. Schubert’s great C-major symphony recorded live at the Golden Hall of the Vienna Musikverein – I was in the audience then, and I swear listening to it now precisely recreates the acoustics and the athosphere of this evening. Provided the recording itself is a perfect one, the effect is breathtaking. Same with Ars Antiqua Austria’s recording of Biber’s Rosenkranz Sonatas – the intimate acoustics of the 500-year-old Hallstatt parish church comes alive with utmost clarity, warmth and precision. Any good recording truly gives sheer delight with the Endorphines, so that for mw for the the first headphone listening gives the same satisfaction as listening via the loudspeaker chain and is no longer second choice for late-night listening.
Fantastic product worth every dollar – but last week I said to myself human beings don’t have much of an acoustic memory, maybe I was betraying myself that the difference to the previous cables wasn’t that dramatic after all. So I went for a quick back comparison, reinserting the Senn stock cable and the old RCA interconnects. The result was so shockingly frustrating that I cannot imagine anyone denying what difference in quality these cables provide unless this person is profoundly deaf.
Feel free to use this feedback for any purposes – the cables have been worth the long wait!
