Manufacturer's Description:
Element Tungsten was the surprise of our blind listening tests with
unsurpassed soundstaging and holographic realism. Overall Element
Tungsten is more resolved and palpable then copper and hands down the
most realistic of all elements where three dimensionality is concerned.
Listening notes and findings from our exhaustive 6 month blind
listening tests reveal Element Tungsten to be THE cable for anyone who
wants a “you are there” experience from their favorite recordings; a
cable suitable for upper end components capable of a high degree of
resolution, Element Tungsten represents state-of-the-art performance at
a real world price.
Enigma Tuning Bullets
As with all Element Series cables start with Grey Enigma Tuning
Bullets first and allow the cable to settle in for at least 48 hours
before experimenting with Silver and Black tuning options. If after 48
hours you wish to open up the sound field and upper registers
substitute Silver bullets or if your system requires more warmth, try
listening with the Black bullets.
