Black Rhodium cable set

摘要

I first encountered Black Rhodium cables when undertaking a group test of speaker cables for this magazine back in 1999. The company was then known as Sonic Link and its S300 was one of my preferred designs from no fewer than 18 on test. I have now had the opportunity to live with the bi-wire version of this cable - the S300x2 - along with other products from the Black Rhodium range. Despite its bulk the S300x2 proved to be flexible and easy to install in confined conditions. Sonically it was well balanced, erring on the laidback side, but revealing plenty of detail when it came to the texture of sounds and ambient background information in recordings. Also apparent was the micro-sounds of a vocalist's lips moving just before singing a phrase.
