The original Darwin Silver IC!
Used, in excellent condition.
Review and quote:
Darwin Cables are a StereoMojo "Recommended" component. Visit StereoMojo online for not one... but TWO rave reviews from the professionals at StereoMojo! StereoMojo asked: "Are these the killer cables of the year?"Even jaded audiophiles with a spaghetti jumble of discarded IC's in the closet have been impressed. There is real science and real research and development at the heart of this American made cable. When you read about our design, you'll realize—as we did through actual testing—the sound-killing mistakes inherent in most cable designs. Now, if you want tone controls, some of other cables may be just right for you. However, if you are a purist and want to hear the truth, there is no more honest, revealing cable available at any price.Our customers will tell you the Darwin Silver IC is the very best cable they have heard. It is certainly the very best value, trumping cables costing thousands of dollars. Initially, many of our customers were suspicious about our modest price. Could a cable costing so little really have a transformative effect on one's system? We'll let our customers answer that. Here's a testimonial from a new friend: "Hey Tony, I got the Darwin Silver interconnects about a week ago. When I ordered them on the phone you told me how amazing they were and then said you hoped you weren't overselling them. I wasn't too worried because I knew they could be returned within 30 days if you were overselling them. Well, if anything you were underselling them! First I have to say that I was very happy with my previous interconnects and wasn't looking for new ones. But I was intrigued by Darwin Cables. It can be hard as an audiophile to be content with your system but I felt, after 4 years of buying and selling, (and losing a lot of money in the process) I'd gotten to the point that everything was to my liking. My measurement of how good my setup isn't based on PRaT (Pace, Rhythm and Timing) and soundstage and detail and etc. It's how much I want to listen to it (4 years ago, it was a couple minutes a day, each day hoping that my system didn't sound as bad as I remembered. It usually did). Thanks to your interconnects, in the last week I've more than doubled the amount of time I've been listening, putting off a lot of other things I should be doing! Now when hitting play each day, my memory doesn't do justice to how good it sounds. Thanks Tony for such an unexpectedly amazing interconnect at a very affordable price in this potentially bank-breaking hobby! Wish I had it 4 years ago." —Landis Davidson Customers and professionals alike continue to marvel at the totally evolutionary design of Darwin Cables. Our Darwin Silver Interconnects are unlike anything anyone has seen—or heard. One distributor of another well-known cable confided, “Your cable has no flaws.” Indeed, from top to bottom, our cables are dynamic, breathtakingly revealing, organic and honest with a taut, low bass response.
The best test of any cable is with complex musical passages. Most cables sound congested and disheveled when asked to reproduce rock-n-roll or orchestral fare. Here, the Darwins presents a majestic portrait of the musician's intent. A real organic sense of ease. We recently submitted these cables for an independent laboratory assessment:
Loop Resistance = 0.497 Ohms
Open ckt Capacitance (10 kHz) 11.70 pF
Short ckt Loop Inductance (10 kHz) 1.19 micro-Henries You'll hear the performance immediately. Darwin Cables are deceptively unassuming in appearance. However, the focus was on performance and performance alone. Here are some key design elements that make critical performance advancements:
