The Shadow Ribbon cables are an excellent match for the most highly resolving systems using modern solid state amplifications. They are also as well as more traditionally voiced tube amplifier based systems. Our tests included mini monitor, bookshelf, floor standing, horn-loaded, open-baffle full range, and with subwoofer reinforcement. In all cases, they are top performers. Here is what one customer had to say:
"Just installed the shadow ribbon speaker cables and my mind is absolutely blown!!! With zero burn in I am hearing percussion tracks I never knew existed in songs I’ve heard probably 100 times!!! I was expecting an improvement in clarity and detail, but not like this!! Moving from bare wire to the Shadow Ribbons is a jump I’d only expect from changing speakers. Everything is better, not just detail retrieval. The soundstage has expanded several feet in all directions and lead vocals feel like they’ve grabbed me by the collar and dragged me up to the front row. Reverb tails sound like I’m in church! Bass is so present, detailed and massive out of the mains that I’ve had to adjust my sub!! I wish I had words as eloquent as these sound!! All else I can say is WOW!!!"
In an independent review of the Shadow Ribbon series, the reviewer writes:
"Macro details in the music are now present in abundance, as if some sort of veil has been removed. Play Stevie Wonder’s “Ribbon in the sky” and prepare to be awed, as subtle details will no longer be understated. The fingers striking the piano keys, and the gentle plucking of the guitar strings, and that drum, is so sensual and seductive. Additionally, after installing the Shadow Ribbons, I challenge you to listen to Stevie Wonder’s song “You haven’t Done Nothin” without the involuntary tapping your foot, or hand clapping to the beat."
The Shadow Ribbons are sold as a set of 4 individual cables, two cables for each speaker. As with all Pine Tree Audio products, these are made in the USA in our shop by hand and fully tested before shipment. These cables are also covered by our lifetime warranty!
It's time to rethink the difference a speaker cable can make in your audio system! The Shadow Ribbon speaker cables will allow you to uncover the Sonic Truth that you have been seeking.
