Graceline level 1 “Kibou” speaker cable

First review here : the-black-cat-cable-graceline-l1-interconnects-speaker-cables-evolution-to-transformation

Level 1 “Kibou” speaker cables have a delicate structure combining a triaxial arrangement of open-braided, matrixed wire-tubes separated by layers of insulation, in a termination arrangement that keeps inductance fundamentally low and mechanical damping fairly high (due to AERON’s natural ability to absorb vibration).

• 2mm core textile cord
• bare copper matrix
• Two-layer AERON nylon insulator
• bare copper matrix
• braided nylon interstitial insulator
• tin-plated copper matrix
• braided nylon jacket
• terminated with XOX rhodium-plated pure copper bananas

All levels and models present with effortlessness and continuousness while projecting all of the complexities of the soundstage and audible images with dynamic realism from the micro to the macro – and all areas in between. In the world of High End Audio, these are uniquely accomplished.

Graceline is a Passion Project, a way to express certain ideas I have about cable construction, music, materials, processes, and the personal touch of an artist’s hand. It is about effortlessly flowing beauty, musical radiance, and deeply felt connections with the musical artists who fill our ears, our hearts, and our lives with their own passionate expressions.

All of these cables extend as evolutionary improvements from my original Setsuna designs, which surprised everyone – including myself – with how beautifully and effortlessly music can be rendered.

There are three levels of build to the Graceline series, allowing me to introduce different materials in a clear, qualitative progression. These are complex builds requiring of many steps to complete, and also requiring of some delicate skills to execute correctly.

They are built only by myself in my workshop, one at a time, for the authentic music lover seeking ever deeper experiences and intimate connections with Heart of Music.

Enjoy Graceline
