Few subjects associated with Hi-Fi and video reproduction give rise to more controversy than that of cables/interconnects and their influence on perceived sound quality.

Atlas Cable's goal is to provide products

which accurately extract the maximum available information without ever erring towards artifice or over-emphasis

to tonally emphasize a broad and unencumbered frequency range with smooth, effortless and seamless integration from very low to very high frequencies, with no unnatural steps or dips

to provide focus and sound staging with a strong sense of three-dimensionality, resolution and detail.

Cables cannot add to the information stored on recorded media, but they can make a difference to the way it is subsequently heard during reproduction and differences may not necessarily be improvements. For example, a sound which initially seems dynamic and fast may cause fatigue and lead to irritation over an extended listening period. At the other end of the audio frequency spectrum, a cable with an impressive bass slam may falter in the department of high frequency detail.

When listening to and evaluating system differences, enthusiasts and potential purchasers need to take into account the fact that in a comparative test something that's heard which was not heard before, or vice versa, could be accurate, but there is also a distinct possibility that a false prominence is being imparted to a detail that was originally subtle in the ears of the recording engineer!

The cable designer's motivation should be to provide products which accurately convey the maximum available information from a recording, whilst never erring towards artifice or over-emphasis. Cables should also provide focus and sound staging, with a strong sense of three-dimensionality, resolution and detail.

However, there is always a risk that a cable upgrade could expose flaws in other system components which went previously unnoticed. Synergy.
