Unity Speaker Cable Test

Another new addition to the test roles.

Omer from OZ has offered up a pair of Unity Solid Link Speaker Cables for Y'all to try out. I am giving them a break-in listen now, and so far they sound pretty darn good. Really beautifully made also.

He says of them:
Solid Link consists of high purity solid core copper conductors in a Litz configuration. Each conductor is insulated with PVC, and PVC outer jacket. Outer jacket is gold/black Techflex to resist abraison, and looks great!

Positive leg of the cable is a 13awg, the negative leg is 15awg.

Highly recomended for tube gear.


Usual test rules apply.

Signed up are:
1)Wineslob
2) Gary P
3) Tripqzon

I don't understand. What is the reason for them to be a different size?

If this isn't the place for Q&A about them, just say so. I will find another place to pose the question.

This certainly is the place!
I will find out from Omer and let you know.
Thanks

I would also like to try them if possible. Can you please let me know the rules. I've never done this.

They are right around 10 feet, I think.

Hi Paul
Easiest thing in the world. Just go through the posts, find the various equipment (as little or as much as you want) and I will add you to the list. Then, whenever your turn comes up, the guy before you on the list mails them to you. You listen to the for about 2 weeks or so, and then mail them to the next guy. All it costs you is shipping one way.
Most importantly, make sure you write a review of your experiences with whatever you are testing. Good, bad or indifferent doesn't matter. Just let us know your honest views about whatever it was.
Pretty easy, I think.
Interested?
Erik

When this model was in the prototype stage, this was a variant of the recipe that worked really well. It sounded better - to my ears - than using the same gauge for both legs, so that's what went to production. So far, all who have purchased this model are very happy with the results. We even have one customer who ended up selling his $1000 NBS cables!
