I'm continuing to clean out the cable closet. And that means selling some cables I really like, including these Silver Audio Hyacinth interconnects. They’ve been on inactive duty and rather than see them go to waste, I figure someone should be enjoying them.From the Silver Audio Website:
“Silver Audio’s Hyacinth™ introduces design motifs of our Jetstream™ and Appassionata™ at a much lower price…the Hyacinth uses a very thin, central Teflon™ air core which in turn allows a mere micro-thin Teflon coating over each of its eight wires instead. Thus steeper angles and predominantly thin air as the dielectric between opposite polarities contribute to the Hyacinth’s faster, more extended and transparent overall character…
Conceptually, the Hyacinth has a bit in common with a very revealing, zero feedback type amplifier as it runs “wide open” in a minimalist design that is optimized for maximal sensitivity to micro-detail. The ability to track the most minute signal voltages contributes to the coveted “startle factor”, which is a function of exceptional harmonic and spatial accuracy. In the context of a well-chosen, musically satisfying system, the Hyacinth renders a degree of grainless clarity and tonal accuracy that is simply unmatched by any other cable in its price range and by many far more expensive ones as well.”
NOTE: Though it has very effective strain-relief inside its connectors, the Hyacinth’s exceptionally “signal friendly” design does make for a more physically delicate cable compared to typical rubber jacketed, solid insulation type cables. Therefore, the Hyacinth is not recommended for any application requiring bending at sharp angles or exceptional resistance to crushing and abrasion. Reviews:
“The Silver Audio Hyacinth sounds uncannily liquid and buttery smooth in my reference system... What the listener needs to keep in mind is that this cable holds its own against the very best out there at a mere fraction of the cost…I strongly urge any audiophile looking for an upgrade to seek out an audition of this under exposed high-end over-achiever”

“…every configuration I tried with the Hyacinth resulted in an audio improvement. This was reflected by an increase in soundstage depth, fine detail, and sonic transparency…I couldn’t recommend these cables any higher”
