"...Analysis Plus knows what they’re doing. For proof, look no further than the design "white papers" AP has posted on its website. They don’t just claim their technologies are good, they prove it with measurements. "

Stereo Times - Big Silver Speaker Cable

If you are already a fan (like me) of Analysis Plus speaker cables, particularly their venerable and affordable Oval Nine series, then you may wish to find a new home for those Oval Nines, save money in your audio stash account and audition a pair of the new Big Silver Ovals in your system.

Analysis Plus, Ambience

Australian Tony Moore's new Ambience Reference 1800 ribbon/cone hybrid speakers ($13,995 per pair) had an ease of presentation that made listening a true pleasure, even under the dreaded "show conditions." They demonstrated excellent imaging from anywhere in the room, along with a wonderful tonal balance. They were connected to Bel Canto electronics -- Pre2 preamplifier, a pair of S300 stereo amps in a biamp arrangement, and PL-2 multi-format player. Analysis Plus cables finished off the system. They used Analysis Plus Silver Oval-In interconnects ($693/meter pair), and Golden Oval speaker cable ($5214/six-foot pair) on the treble and Big Silver Oval speaker cable ($835/six-foot pair) on the bass. The electronics sat on Stillpoint stands.

December 2005 "... Analysis Plus cables connected all the components through Ambience Reference 1600 Loudspeakers. The sound was dramatic, open, airy and extremely natural. I would have loved to hear this system in a larger room, however even in a standard bedroom the sound was really outstanding."

Stereophile - December 2005

…When it came time to select wire goods, I sought the counsel of Vince Galbo, former US importer of Plinius. Vince's immediate suggestion was that I try Analysis Plus's Oval 9 speaker cables ($439/8' pair) and their corresponding Copper Oval interconnects ($219/0.5m, $296/m…He strongly believes them to be the price-performance leaders. Vince's own listening biases run to high-powered solid-state amplifiers and moderately efficient speakers with long-throw voice coils; Harbeth's Super HL5 is a particular favorite of his. So that Vince likes a speaker cable with "a lot of metal in it" comes as no great shock.

The particular Analysis Plus products I received here have, over the past few years, fared well amont the critics, including Michael Fremer (January 2001, Vol.24 No.1). Compared to the inexpensive cables I'd been using, the Analysis Plus wire goods had a cleaner, crisper sound, with more treble extension – a positive synergy with both the MD-208 and the S8es.

The bottom line: Yes, you can spend a lot more money. But a lot of musicl lovers never will, and it is more important for the survival of high-end audio that we make the tent bigger rather than more exclusive (read: snobby). Please do all you can to get the word out: Good audio equipment is not just for audiophiles anymore!

"Is it possible to re-discover and enjoy in music from your favourite records and CDs that you've heard so many times before, and thought that you know them very well ? ... Playing various music titles (no matter if it was audiophile or regular editions) through Analysis Plus Crystal Oval cable combo, sound was full-bodied, there's lots of space and air in the sound and almost none at all between the individual components. Hence I'm really looking forward to time I will spend listening to my old favourites as well as the new ones that will come."

"VERIFIABLE SUPERIOR"

Analysis Plus BIG SILVER OVAL

Ignorance in audio is exceeded only by our collective willingness to embrace and foster it. If someone ever came out with a book of audio aphorisms, this would have to make the opening chapter.

"Value & Sanity"

Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Interconnect & Oval 8 Speaker Cable

Today's feature is inspired directly by Marc Mickelson's excellent SoundStage! Editorial for October. In it, the veteran reviewer and editor muses over reviewer systems as tool boxes and what he'd listen to were he not a professional reviewer. He goes on to recommend a system assembled from components he's heard and which, while not inexpensive, are deliberately selected for price, ergonomics and performance that regular music lovers and not merely completely committed audiophools would embrace and enjoy.

"One of the Best"

Analysis Plus Toslink Optical Digital Cable

By comparison, the purple jacketed optical cable under scrutiny here looks pretty normal except for some exquisitely engineered, all metal terminals.

Sounds impressive- and that's true in practice too.

Toslink has never been my digital signal transfer standard of choice, but used in both my AV and stereo systems, the Analysis Plus unit appeared to deliver greater accuracy, improved fine detail and better soundstage integration.

We're not talking huge improvements here, but for the first time, a Toslink cable seemed to sound at least as good as some of the dedicated digital coaxial cables I use.

Add the tangible superior construction, and the Analysis Plus optical cable has to be considered a top choice for those bent on employing the Toslink digital interface in their systems.

Verdict - Superior construction makes this one of the best Toslink interlinks yet.

"Sonic Synergy"

Follow-up Review
Analysis Plus Golden Oval Speaker Cables and Interconnects

As good as my reference cables are in their own right, overall I preferred the natural sound of the Golden Ovals.

It was immediately obvious that these cables were of reference caliber; something special.

"Extremely Impressive"

Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8 Speaker Cables and Solo Crystal Interconnects

For transient clarity, linearity, low frequency extension, and overall cleanness, the Analysis Plus was extremely impressive.

It was neat and tidy, left no loose ends, and was free from glare, grain, or other annoying artifacts. The fast attacks of vocal sibilants and cymbals were handled with impressive clarity and ease.

The bass was very tight, extended, well controlled, and correctly sized.

If you're running solid state gear that tends towards the bright and edgy, if the music suffers from a bit of added hash and glare, and/or your speakers have some HF peaks, and/or your bass is a bit soft and amorphous, I'd bet that the Analysis Plus Solo Crystal speakers would work wonders in cleaning things up and restoring focus and control.

"Fabulous Cables"

Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval Interconnects and Oval 8 Speaker Cables

The Solo Crystal Oval cables add another interesting twist -- oxygen-free copper wire that's slowly drawn and annealed so that its grain boundaries are non-existent in normal audio lengths.

Analysis Plus calls this Continuous Cast Copper; similar wire is used by Harmonic Technology and Acoustic Zen, albeit without the hollow oval geometry.

If you are looking for cables that offer a bracing, high-resolution view of your equipment and music, you've found them in the Solo Crystal Oval cables.

Good Breeding
Their designs are also backed by the kind of real-world documentable engineering which --I've tested this -- receives unanimous praise from electronics engineers outside the cable arena proper.

"Champs in bass reach, womp & articulation"

Analysis Plus Oval Ten Power Cord

I played Joanne Shenandoah's Eagle Cries [Red Feather Music 70052, 2001], her over-enunciation of the letter "s" was still present. However, these sibilants were better controlled. Compared with stock Beldens, the Oval 10s slightly softened the highs to keep the music from sounding too edgy. I say slightly because I could still hear how the strings on the guitar were fashioned from steel. The beautiful tone of Joanne's voice was as embracing as ever. Still, the bass grew fuller, became more articulate and defined.
