When I heard there was a guy in NY that is making cables that rival ones costing THOUSANDS more i said hmm... I'll give it a whirl. Although my system set me back a few grand I think it is ridiculous to spend large amounts of money on cables, so I can't compare these to any of those fancy ones. But, all I can say is these dramatically improved my system and I honestly can't see how it could get much better. I was previously using $200 ICs. I also sometimes connect my laptop to my preamp and decided to try the SignalCalbe Silver Mini. I was previously just using a $10 ratshack mini. When I got Frank's Silver Mini I immediately noticed how the sound was louder and clearer and the most noticable difference was in the bass. Also, Itunes has an equalizer that I couldn't previously use because the sound would breakup when I boosted the low frequencies. With the Silver Mini that doens't happen. I also bought the Silver Resolution speaker cable and am impessed with that too. It has the benefits of silver and copper.

Strength:

Deep and well delineated bass, huge soundstage, clean and clear treble without etch and glare. Instruments sound is airy, liquid and with smooth decay.

I highly recommend this balanced interconnect cable for use in any system - however inexpensive or expensive. To say that I am happy with this cable is an understatement. I am amaze at how transparent this cables are. I couldn't agree more with the positive reviews posted here about the vitues of this cable. They bettered the much more expensive cables that have come and gone in my system. This cables help transform my system to give me musical nirvana. The first one that did so to my system. It has all the musical advantages of silver interconnects without the etch and glare associated with such kind.They burn-in seemingly quicker that most other makes.

I also replace all the stock power cables in my system with signal cables magic power cords and ref digital power cables. The result is a dead quite silence. Gone is the hissing sound. I couldn't hear any hissing sound even when my ears are pressed very closed to the speakers. All I ever wanted in a power cable.

Strength:

Good high for it's price.

Weakness:

Soundstage.

I bought this cable a few month ago. I had a chance to compare this cable to Audioquest Jagaur, Cheetah, Sky, Tara Lab and Acoustic Zen (I forgot the models, but the price of the last 2 cables are similar to Signalcable). After a day of listening here's my conclusion on the Signalcable.

High frequency: Clear. Can get much higher than Tara Lab, Acoustic Zen and Jaguar, but the high lacks detail and too harsh for my taste. Both Cheetah and Sky has a much more delicate high than this Signal Cable.

Mid: Not as much body as any other cable. Less detail as well.

Bass: Weaker than other cable, but still acceptable.

Soundstage: This is where this cable really fall apart. It make soundstage very narrow. I end up throw this cable away because I ordered it in a custom lenght w/ silver bullet, so I can't return it.

Conclusion: If you care about sound delicateness and soundstage, this might not be the cable you want to try.

Test system 1:
Gallo Acoustic Ref 3.1
Moon Equanox
Moon i-3

Test system 2 (my friend's):
Accuphase CD
VTL (20 years old tube pre)
Mark Levinson
B&w 803

Customer Service

Strength:

makes me want to keep it.

Weakness:

it is humble in design. some may scoff at the price and the lack of flash. not weaknesses but reasons the audiophile initiated may miss out.

Delivers all the goods in spades. Not a bright cable as most silver can be, but transparent, lively, deeply musical. lends drama to the music. excellent depth of soundstage, with quiet interstices between instruments, separation is top-notch. bass is commensrate with the rest of the presentation. defined and tight, but does not call attention to itself. bested all cables before it. see below.

Customer Service

just fine. prompt responses.

Strength:

Very good quality, great detail, transients nad vocals. Sounds as good a s the Kimber KACG's.

Weakness:

Don't have the finish of the Kimber KACG

three foot Super interconnect at a bargin price. replace Kimber Silver Streak RCA's with Silver Resolution RCA's from NAD S500 to NAD S100. Compares to Kimber KACG performance (one of the best) at 1/3 the price. My NAD S500 is modded and is very open and detailed. The Silver Resolutions cables really opened my system compared to the Silver Streak. Using Signal cable Magic power cables on my main components. They are a bargin like the interconnects. Highly recommended

Strength:

As above.

Weakness:

None so far. However, if you're looking for cables that are flashy "audio jewelry", you may not like the unassuming looks of these cables.

This review is for the Silver Resolution (all silver) balanced interconnects; as well as the Silver Resolution speaker cables, which are a silver/oxygen-free copper (OFC) hybrid design. [My audio system: Simaudio Moon W-5 LE dual-mono amplifier; Moon P-5 LE pre-amp; Moon Eclipse LE CD player; Induction Dynamics ID1 speakers; Signal Cable Silver Resolution balanced interconnects (21' length) between pre-amp and power amp; 3' length Silver Resolution balanced interconnects between CD player and pre-amp; and a custom ordered "double run" pair of Signal Cable Silver Resolution speaker cables (6' length), terminated at both ends with BFA bananas.] More than a month ago, I purchased the above mentioned audio components (except for cables) from Bob Kirk of Archive Audio in Bexley, OH. (Bob has my highest recommendations, by the way.) Bob Kirk generously offered to lend me some (copper) cables he had laying around in order for me to just get my new system up and running until I made a more definitive decision regarding cables. However, because my initial investment in the above mentioned audio components was so substantial, I decided to initially take a chance on one of the lower priced (but well reviewed) cables I'd heard about. I reasoned that if I eventually came to not like a modestly priced set of cables, I would eventually move up to more elaborate and expensive cables. After reading a number of glowing reviews of Signal Cable's products (as well as a lengthy phone conversation with Frank Dai, founder of Signal Cable), I somewhat nervously took a chance and ordered a set of the Signal Cable Silver Resolution products mentioned above, without any prior auditioning. First, I will say that I found Frank Dai to be highly enthusiastic, knowledgeable, patient, candid, and helpful. Frank happily entertained and answered my many questions; and he then accurately processed my order, as well as a subsequent change in my order that I requested a day later, by phone. Indeed, Frank Dai (like Bob Kirk of Archive Audio) is the kind of person I prefer to do business with. My new Signal Cable Silver Resolution products arrived a few days later, and when I first inspected them I was struck by their very modest physical dimensions and rather unassuming appearance. (After all, the audio cable marketplace has long been over-populated with exotic, ultra-expensive, and often highly thick and bulky cables, with names to match.) I installed my new Signal Cable Silver Resolution cables into my system, and then settled in for an extended listening session. In brief, the virtues of the Silver Resolution cables were immediately audible, and they seemed to break-in rather quickly. I would describe the sonic performance of these cables as being fast, transparent, neutral, and highly detailed. They provide excellent transmission of bass, midrange, and treble, without coloration. I think many will find them to be a reference caliber cable, but without a reference caliber price tag.
