Hi Geoff and those with interest.
Just a quick clarification, the Poiema cabling was introduced as Poiema!. As many know, all our cabling is manufactured from the ground up, no off the shelf re-dress. During the development of Poiema! the cabling came to a point to where I was very pleased with its performance and felt we had a viable product that would make a positive difference for enthusiasts. Poiema! was a very good success. As a result, two things occurred. During actual production I was able to fine tune a few things that improved Poiema! and, because of the cable's success, I did what I think any smart business would do and reinvested into the product to improve the materials a bit more by working/developing with my vendors.
Just as happened with the Midnight Silver Edition going from Gen.I to Gen.II, so Poiema! has become Poiema!!. Poiema! is no longer available. Also, just as the MSE Gen.II cabling has reached the end of what can be done to incrementally improve it within what it is, Poiema has reached that place also with the availability of Poiema!! Signature.
We recently finished new facility(s) for production here and that's allowed us to do some things we weren't able to do before practically. Hence, Poiema!! Signature is available along side of Poiema!!.
The Signature version is tweakier to build and takes more time, is more or less custom to the clients gear and it physically looks different. With some materials being different and the addition of other materials it's also more expensive. Pricing is pretty much on a case by case basis and is 20% to 25% more than Poiema!! depending on the nature of the project.
So, that's the lo down. Hope that clears up any confusion. Also of interest is that we are introducing a new Loudspeaker: the Sason Ltd (I know, just what the community needs
another loudspeaker). Lak has a pair now that he's auditioning. I know this isn't the forum to go into detail here but I'll just say this
Aesthetically and sonically, this thing is Killer! Says I of course.
Kind Regards to all
and Sean, LOL!
