Cables

Cables remain the most argued-about category in high-end audio, and the most rewarding when chosen carefully. Geometry, conductor material, dielectric, shielding, termination — all of it matters at the resolution the rest of the system is operating at, and none of it matters if the rest of the system isn't there yet. We choose the cable line to fit the resolution of the system it's serving, not the other way around.

Alma carries three lines that span the realistic spectrum of what a high-end system requires. Kubala-Sosna's Realization, Elation, and Sensation series cover analog, digital, speaker, and power across a full reference ladder. Analysis Plus's hollow-oval-conductor designs out of Michigan are the engineering-led, measurement-honest counterpoint — useful when a customer wants a cable they can defend technically as well as sonically. AB-Tech's KLAR USB and REN Ethernet are dedicated galvanic-isolation cables for the streaming chain, where the problem they solve is electrical rather than analog. In-home cable demos are available; cables are easier to evaluate in your own system than ours, and the right cable is the one that disappears in your room.
