1877phono “The Highlands MKII” phono cable.
I like it when any new device inserted in my setup makes a difference, as happened with the “Highlands”, the music flows through the cable naturally, without compressions and with any kind of music.
I read somewhere that this cable wouldn't be the most suitable for progressive rock or heavy metal, I can't disagree more... everything I've used it for (F. Zappa, Alex Harvey Band, Colosseum, King Crimson, Slade, L. Zeppelin , Pink Floyd, Johnny Cash, J J Cale, Jean Luc Ponty, John Coltrane, Cesaria Evora, Johnny Hartman, Nina Simone, Keith Jarret, Pat Metheny, Jan Garbarek, Miles Davis, Dixie Gordon, Beethoven Symph nr II, Pavarotti, Mozart Symph nr 41) and much much more, he delivered everything resolved and naturally.
My phono stage offers a generous sound stage in its three dimensions, what the “Highlands” does is occupy the entire space in a holographic way, with space between the musicians and perfectly located on the stage. More than once, I experienced “seeing” the brass section at the back of the stage and about 1 meter above it.
This cable is fast and very resolved, it has a lot of tonal balance in the mid-range, the bass is tense without fat on the edges, the treble is top-notch but could have a little more extension here, but nothing serious. Anyway, the presentation of the musical pieces is very consistent, very natural and without showing any signs of compression even when the music become complicated. At this price this cable is a bargain.
The only thing I have to say is that “Highlands” showed the limitations of my phono stage... but I already knew that, eheheheh.
Congratulations to 1877phono for the development work
