A comment on
measurements and performance
It makes a
pleasant change for us to offer some products with a more readily
understood scientific base and measurements that demonstrate how
good they are. For not only do our cables sound special, they
measure like a dream. All round, the specifications of both our
cables are so good that they are close to being ‘fable’.
The inductance of both cables is close to zero, which
is what one would get with a straight piece of wire. In fact, the
inductance measurements of our cables were so low that the results
probably had more to do with the instrument used for metering than
with the cable.
Of course, we would be the first to say that
measurements mean nothing if, on listening, the products do not
deliver. In this case, they do.
With our Pure Signal interconnects working together
with our Pure Power speaker cables, and our other Ringmat and
Statmat products, the sound should be the best that can be
achieved. But we cannot emphasise too strongly the need for all our
other products to be used when listening with our cables. It is the
old adage, rubbish in, rubbish out. Without our other Ringmat and
Statmat products, there is no way that a phase coherent signal can
be generated at source and carried through to the speakers.
Because they are so accurate and transparent, with incredible
band-width, any distortion or other phase anomalies fed to them will
be ruthlessly exposed, whereas other cables will mask the distortion
by adding ‘coloration’ of their own. But then, with other cables,
the listener will never know the glories of the performances in
his/her record or CD collection.
Of course, what happens to the signal once it arrives
at the speaker is something we have no control over, but we hope
that the education programme we plan to introduce in due time will
help designers improve this area of sound reproduction.
At the moment, however, there is still one area where
the sound can always be compromised, even with the use of our other
Ringmat and Statmat products, and that is in the area of support
underneath components and the Ringmat Feet and Domes. However, we
have good news about this in that the development work on our
Anti-Resonance Platforms is in now largely complete and we are
entering the phase of translating prototypes into pre-production
samples. This will still take time, but at least we can now see the
light at the end of what has been a very long tunnel.
