Highly displaying the hexagonal colors, the two Real Cable cables bear the names of famous castles around the world: Chenonceau for modulation and Chambord II for the HP cable. In common, a thick woven sheath which accommodates, for the RCA cable, two single-strand conductors (+ and -) in 99.999% pure OCC silver, insulated by hollow tubes (hollow tubes) acting as a barrier against vibration and capacitive effects between conductors. These are twisted to reduce the linear inductance, protected by an aluminum strip, a braided mass, two layers of Teflon and the fabric sheath. The conductors of the Chambord II are independent, made of pure copper, backed by hollow tubes. The RCAs are screw-type (Chenonceau), the self-spacing bananas (Chambord II). Listening highlights the assertive, consistent and calm character of this combination. mirror in the mirror d’Arvo Pärt (Victoria Mullova violinLiam Dunanchie piano.

The tonal spectrum is very linear; what dominates is a feeling of mastery and authority which is repeated whatever the track played. With the HP cable, the space opens up considerably and the energy is distributed everywhere in the right measure.
Listening to the Sonata for cello and piano in era minor de Frank Bridge (Truls Mørk celloHavard Gimse piano. Alpha. Available on CD and on Qobuz in 24 Bits/96 kHz. Diapason d’or) wins support, in the sense that it is no longer a question of the nature of the sound, but of entering into music, making the couple Chenonceau and Chambord II a sovereign in their kingdom.
