Crystal Clear Cables

I’m curious...

1) What "authorities" did you take your CCA cables to?
2) What did these "authorities" do that prove they were all "fake"?
3) In what way were they fake?  They didn't use the type of wire, insulation, Cardas E5 IEC plugs, etc. they claimed?
4) Were you present during the tests the "authorities" performed?

Answering those questions would go a long way in my book towards providing some credibility to your ALL FAKE claim...

I bought the best of what he offered. I opened them and verified w authorities that they are ALL FAKE!

Simply the best cables I've had in my system! , I've been with Mel since the start I'm about ready to buy two power cables for my Pass Labs Xa100.5 mono blocks and great service as well! Enjoy 

Phillyb, My impression and experience with my Magnum Opus XLR interconnect are pretty much a carbon copy of what you've describe about your MO speaker cable. These cable are trully one of the best specially for the price. Also, I just want to add that I recently received my Magnum Opus speaker cables but I have not installed them yet can't wait them up. If these speaker cable will give me the same results as my IC and your speaker cables, I'm set for life. Mel said it will just get better as it breaks-in. What do you think?

Miketuason. Thinking about the Magnum Opus XLR interconnects. I see he makes diffrent ones with different connectors, Cardas and others. Can you share your impression of the interconnects, break in time, and what is the best cable you owned and how would this compare. I know audio things are not night and day when things get real good, but the presentation can change, my main conern is brightness of silver interconnects.

Received my Magnum Opus speakers cables. In a word excellent. Sweet sounding, the bottom end is deep and tight and the midrange is clear, open with great body, the most important area the mid bass is there in great detail and definition. About the most balanced speaker cables I've heard in many years. This is a keeper, and this is not saying my past speaker cables were bad, they were not, but these do what many of them did in areas but are now all together in one cable. No matter what recording I pull they sound good, and some superb. I may on two the XLR's next and then perhaps one of Mel's power cords.

Just outstanding and more than fairly priced, I've owned others 5 times the price and they were the Oracle line of MIT. These match them in all areas and exceed them in the mids and highs. Bottom end I call a draw.

Phillyb, Please let us know how the MO sounds on your system. I connected my Magnum Opus between my MC601s and my C2300 Pre. and loving every moment.

Interesting.The trade name "Magnum Opus" is used by Transparent Audio.

I've just order the Magnum Opus Speaker cable. They look so well made and the feedback was very good by owners. Mel said 2 weeks to make them, so the wait begins. Will use between my McIntosh MC402 and my new built Quads ESL 63's. Electrostatic Solutions did a great job including a new power supply with muldof caps.

Mel is now putting together a pair of Magnum Opus XLR cables for my new McIntosh power amp.

I started with the master class and now have the opus series they have a very natural and relaxed sound with loads of detail and extreme build quality plus Mel is a pleasure to work with. Good Luck

I have one of their master class XLR and I must say it's one of the best I have used. Prior to the Crystal clear, I was using the AudioQuest and MIT but not anymore.
