Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval Interconnect Cables - XLR to XLR - Pair

Reviewers' Choice Award – SoundStage

An "Utterly Clear" Transmission Line

The Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval Interconnects utilize Continuous Cast Copper (solo crystal copper) braids with the company's patented hollow oval design.

Unlke lesser cables, Solo Crystal Oval puts nothing in the way of the musical signal. Using conventional round cable is like pouring fine wine through a lead pipe. What comes out is definitely not what went in. Hear your music sources as the artist intended when you step up to advanced Analysis Plus materials and technology.

This version of hand-crafted Solo Crystal Oval cables comes terminated with Neutrik XLR connectors. These balanced cables offer symmetry between signal and return, using 'hot' and 'cold' current paths along with a shield for an extremely quiet noise floor.

"I Was Able to Hear Into the Recordings in New Ways"

True to their name, Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval interconnect cables "always sound like utterly clear conduits between your components and music," reports Marc Mickelson in the October 2002 issue of SoundStage. "I was able to hear into the recordings in new ways, which elevated these CDs so close to SACDs that telling the difference between the two would be very difficult at best in a blind test."

Patented hollow oval geometry controls current bunching and frequency effects for the truest possible sound. Premium Continuous Cast Copper braids produce the smoothest possible transmission medium, while proprietary Teflon dielectrics resist energy storage. High-quality RCA connectors ensure the best performing connection.

"These Are Fabulous Cables"

SoundStage fairly froths at the mouth over the virtues of Solo Crystal Oval. "These are fabulous cables that won't act as filters or tone controls for your equipment, putting forth sound that's as direct and vivid as that of any cables I've used," raves Mickelson.

According to Srajan Ebaen at 6moons.com, "It's attractive, flexible, solidly built, performs rather indistinguishably against accoladed contenders double its price and is every bit as well-balanced, coherent and right-sounding as its new sibling, the Oval 8. Two – very sweet – peas in a pod then, these new Solo Crystal cables by A+."

"A Bracing, High Resolution View"

Hand-crafted Solo Crystal Oval cables comes standard terminated with locking RCA connectors. Even this 'unbalanced' cable takes advantage of a balanced configuration offering symmetry between signal and return, using 'hot' and 'cold' current paths along with a shield for an extremely quiet noise floor.

"If you are looking for cables that offer a bracing, high-resolution view of your equipment and music, you've found them in the Solo Crystal Oval cables," concludes SoundStage.

"If you are looking for cables that offer a bracing, high-resolution view of your equipment and music, you've found them in the Solo Crystal Oval cables."

"These cables impart no threadbare, transparency-above-all-else presentation, and yet they always sound like utterly clear conduits between your components and music.

I was able to hear into the recordings in new ways, which elevated these CDs so close to SACDs that telling the difference between the two would be very difficult at best in a blind test."

"These are fabulous cables that won't act as filters or tone controls for your equipment, putting forth sound that's as direct and vivid as that of any cables I've used."

"In fact, down low, the only cables that I've heard that better what the Solo Crystal Oval cables do are the Transparent Reference XLs… [which] are far more expensive than the Analysis Plus cables - by several thousand dollars."

"It's attractive, flexible, solidly built, performs rather indistinguishably against accoladed contenders double its price and is every bit as well-balanced, coherent and right-sounding as its new sibling, the Oval 8. Two – very sweet – peas in a pod then, these new Solo Crystal cables by A+."

"The Acoustic Zen Silver Reference and Analysis Plus Solo Crystal are as though identical twins. Their mother can tell 'em apart knowing what to zoom in on, but most casual acquaintances would have a rather tough time of it."

"The Analysis Plus weighs in at less than half the Zen's asking price but features equally impressive locking RCAs and a bit more flexibility by avoiding the limited-curvature tube construction of the latter. It also comes in 36% below its silver-clad brother, the Silver Oval-In."
