Bio-mimicry inspires many scientists who seek to adapt solutions observed in nature. This is the approach taken by Panayotis Gioulos with Aktyna cables. We are therefore witnessing an "off the beaten track" approach. Technically, they can be described as cables made of telluric copper doped with 1% gold. The diameters of the conductors follow the progression of the gold number, they are enamelled and biometrically arranged, receive a cryogenic treatment, a sheath of silk and cold wax, a silicone coating and a final cotton sheath. As a result, all inductive phenomena are cancelled out.

The SCM Cortex Master Reference (Supra Magnetic Conduction) modulation cable uses silver-plated copper WBT-0152 Ag plugs, and the HP Vortex cable uses CMC banana plugs with gold contacts.

Let's move on to the listening experience, where the natural, palpable quality of the sound that establishes the presence of the musicians in the room cannot leave anyone indifferent. Whatever the excerpt, the Aktyna duo were among those who opened up the orchestra's sound perspective to us most widely, giving us a special place at the heart of the concert. Listening to these cables can be described as ultra-sensitive. Our A excerpt came out as if magnified, with an extra soul, something organic, alive, clear and obvious. A truly special experience...

Pros: The music flows, free and palpable.

The minuses: Please allow time for production.
