I greatly appreciate it.<BR/><BR/>Most other manufacturers I presume, would give lots of technical mumbo jumbo to support their claims (and to confuse their non technical readers), but you tell it as it is which is very commendable.<BR/><BR/>I suppose everyone can be caught in his euphoria. Even the esteemed Michael Framer put his audio reputation on the line by reporting the Harmonic Tech CyberLight cables as "the most significant single technological breakthrough I have experienced in my career as an audio reviewer", "for the first time in your life you'll hear no cables whatsoever" and many more other superlatives in the review. <BR/><BR/>The cables lasted for a while I guess and now he's using the Tara Labs cables.<BR/><BR/>I look forward in hearing your ASP Gryphon in Maggielurva's system.<BR/><BR/>Thanks and all the best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15183108.post-38931992616151143072008-07-18T03:49:00.000+08:002008-07-18T03:49:00.000+08:00Hello km ng,of course there is no such thing as a ...Hello km ng,<BR/>of course there is no such thing as a "perfect" audio component, and we certainly don't pretend to have made one. The terms "zero distortion" and "absolute signal purity" are meant to be descriptive of our cables capabilities and performance, not necessarily a technical, measurable fact. I'm sure you have noticed other audio companies using terms like "perfect surface silver" or "exact impedance matching" for example; but we all know their product's specifications are neither perfect nor exact. <BR/>We have taken every possible care in keeping distortion as low as possible in our ASP line. Dielectric, conductor shape, the use of palladium (which is a highly paramagnetic metal) all contribute to keeping cable-induced distortions (LCR, skin effect, etc) under control.<BR/>External interferences (emi/rfi) are entirely blocked by using H.D.A. shielding (which is actually a highly effective lead (Pb) alloy).<BR/>Still, this does not add up to a "distortionless" cable, but we do believe to have come closer than most to the theoretical limit.<BR/><BR/>Also, regarding your other posts, I must agree...<BR/>I am often suspicious of reviews that are instantly positive and overly enthusiastic. My general belief is that component reviews are really system reviews, since individual components have to work together for the final results.<BR/>I certainly appreciate the reviews and hopefully further analysis and comments will be posted over time to reach a final verdict, which in the end will still be up to each listener's personal taste! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15183108.post-49551180167104112962008-07-16T15:39:00.000+08:002008-07-16T15:39:00.000+08:00Dear Luis,Hope you don't mind me asking, can an in...Dear Luis,<BR/><BR/>Hope you don't mind me asking, can an interconnect be "zero distortion" as you have advertised in the Gryphon?<BR/><BR/>What about the cable LCR specs which may cause distortion?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15183108.post-9452557911862929792008-07-15T10:06:00.000+08:002008-07-15T10:06:00.000+08:00Hello everyone.Thank you all so much for your enth...Hello everyone.<BR/>Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm and support.
