Darwin Enlightenment Interconnects

"...if you, like me, value sonic truth, accuracy, and overall transparency, you probably won’t do much better at any price than “The Enlightenment” interconnects..." - PTA About Darwin Cables Over the 12 years since their inception, Darwin Cables have become an underground favorite of seasoned audiophiles. Their designs are minimalist, low-mass, with silver conductors, cryogenic treatment and careful selection of dialectric, solder, and connectors to get the most out of their cables. The Enlightenment Darwin's evolutionary air-dielectric design already delivered the most transparent, uncolored signal in the industry. However, in a painstaking process of trial and error, the designers at Darwin discovered five organic crystals, some of which have long been used in military, electronic, and mechanical applications that elevate performance through EMI and resonance control. They use 20 total crystals each with their own unique properties. It was no small challenge to come up with the proper balance. An organic, low-dielectric, cotton sleeve also enhances resonance control. The performance of the Enlightenment by Darwin, is, in a word, breathtaking. Because the signal is so pure, so clean and rich, you'll hear inner detail and decay so real, you'll keep coming back for more. Handling The Enlightenments Some delicacy and care needs to be observed when handling these cables, as they are delicate. The minimalist/purist design has it's trade offs. If you have been called "ham handed", "all thumbs" etc. These may not be the cables for you. Naturalness With Extreme Inner Detail The Enlightenment is a significant step above Darwin's Natural 2 Interconnect. Expect the same house transparency. flow factor and naturalness, but add way more air, space and low level detail.  Reviews Part Time Audiophile Tweek Geek Speek Blog (compares all 3 models)
