Description

Invictus Coaxial was created in this panorama to definitively support your DAC, reading machine or other digital audio equipment, where you need to treat the sound with velvet gloves.

  • THE BEST SUPPORT FOR YOUR DIGITAL CONNECTION: High-end cable of absolute technical, aesthetic and acoustic standing. The sound is precise, detailed and succeeds in restoring perfect musicality, just as it was designed and conceived by the equipment to be connected. Its use is universal, it can be used to connect the Digital source to the converter with the certainty of obtaining a perfect audio transmission, without any kind of distortion or alteration.
  • MARC CONDUCTOR 70% compared to OFC: 1.2′ mm2′ conductors made of Copper 7N MARC (Multicore Annealed Ricable Conductor) with 0.08 mm strands with a smoother and more compact surface allowing 70% better audio transmission than OFC Copper.
  • OFC COPPER CONNECTORS 40% compared to BRASS: Connectors with contacts made entirely of OFC copper. With these connectors there is an improvement in electrical parameters of over 40% compared to common brass connectors. 24K Gold plated with specific Gold/Copper electrolysis technique.
  • TRIAXIAL GEOMETRY: Double shielding in full coverage OFC copper with second shielding separated by R-TEC thermoplastic polymer to maintain constant impedance at 75 Ohm and avoid any kind of noise in the audio signal.
  • RNR TECHNOLOGY (RICABLE NOISE REDUCTION): Reduces background noise thanks to the Germanium semiconductor on all conductors. With this system, the sound is more detailed and brighter, while maintaining a natural and balanced timbre.
What made youchoose Ricable?

I came to choose Ricable as I had previously purchased a pair of RCA Z1 Supreme and the HDMI cable for television. I found the products to be good and, after careful analysis and also surveying the market on the Internet, I decided to continue buying Ricable. I would like to point out that in the past I have also had experience with Van den Hul, Zavfino, Cardas and artisan cables. Now I have decided to permanently wire for now the system components that go to the headphone listening section that I use a lot.

What do you think about the construction
and aesthetics
 of the product?

This was one of the things that made me lean toward Ricable. The product arrives in a nice package with velvet inside to protect the cable. The Invictus Coaxial cable has a solid construction, gives the impression of being really reliable and made properly. Aesthetically very nice with the protective braid in a red and black color. The connectors are nice and give the feeling of precise and reliable tightening.

How did you carry out the tests?What tracks did you use to test the cable?

I inserted the purchased product between the digital output of my Primare Blu-ray player and the input of the McIntosh 500, which has the final task of bringing the signal to the preamplifier via the analog output. With this I would say “hybrid” (if you will allow me the term) configuration I had the best results for headphone listening. Everything is amplified by the Greek amplifier working in a triode configuration.

What were your
listening impressions?

Once I connected theInvictus Coaxial immediately from the first DVD (Sade, Lovers Live) the first thing that struck me was the impression of having more boost at the signal output. I had to revise some parameters on the listening volume (I at each DVD/BD mark a little technical reminder, e.g. volume, DTS or PCM, five channel, two channel and so on, so that I can remember them in future listening because I have so many DVDs/BDs and each of them has to be set so to speak to have the best performance). But as I continued listening I was sure that I had improved other things…meanwhile more bass…but not powerful, but soft, meaty, in a word musical, really beautiful.
In short, this cable undermined (and it was not an easy thing to do, others had failed to do it and even emblazoned ones) my previous homemade digital cable with Cardas connectors, which for now has gone to the speakers. Turning then to the DVD Jackson Browne: Going Home (an old documentary where there are excerpts from a 1994 concert ) at the track Lives in the Balance – featuring Crosby and Nash, among others – I jolted…wonderful treble quality, drum brush, vocals…not that they weren’t there before, but now everything is like under a musical gilding, very musical. Finally, Blu-ray of an almost unknown but very good female group here: Celtic Woman: Destiny. A wonderful Celtic live all about traditional Irish music–in a modern version. Here again, I don’t know if the Ricable cable had anything to do with it, but still the pleasantness and musicality of the whole take over…

 

Your conclusions.

What to say in conclusion? In my opinion Invictus Coaxial is a Mr. cable, I am so convinced of it that I have upgraded from Ricable Dedalus (another very good product) to Invictus Signal RCA and in the future at this point I will have to buy at least one more RCA and surely it will be theInvictus also because I am curious to hear them in pairs (for now it works with other foreign pair). Without leaving out at least a couple of power supplies that I have in future plans. Considering then that it is an Italian product, the lifetime warranty, the possibility to buy even used, the upgrade formula and – last but not least – the excellent accessibility and visibility of the site, make it a product that I dispassionately recommend.
