Acrolink Cables, anyone heard them?

I have an Esoteric SACD player and presently I am using an Acrolink power cord with it. I am interested in getting one of Acrolinks lower end   interconnects with RCA plugs to go from the Esoteric player to the preamp.

Has anyone heard them and if so, can you describe the sound? Interested in Acrolink only, no other brands.

Thanks

While a bit of an oversimplification, Acrolink's main strength is in the high frequencies, where they have a very extended, yet silky and refined presentation. As you go up the range, you get increased refinement, detail, dynamics and bass weight.

For your application, the minimum model I would consider is the A2070.

@ericteh - Good simplification. Extended, smooth, refined. Bass is a bit warmer/fuller than silver cables.

7N-A2070
7N-D5000

@ryder,

i have 3 of the Acrolink Cables connected to my Esoteric SACD Player. I am using the PC4030 Power cord which replaced a comparably priced Shunyata cord. The model of my digital cable Is 6ND 5050 II, it retailed for 1200.00. The interconnect cables are 6ND5500 and also retailed for 1200.00. I use the older Model cable which is a six nines cable as it starts with 6N. As I said, these all replaced comparatively priced Shunyata cables.


The bottom line is I love these cables. They are a perfect match to my Esoteric player. I love them so much that I plan on buying another pair of the Acrolink 6ND5500 interconnects to go with my Sony HAPZ1ES music server. I bought all my cables here. The power cord was bought used from Perotta consulting, The digital cable and the interconnect were purchased from two well known establishments on here. Beware of the ones sold on eBay, more than 90% of them are fakes. I was patient and over 2 years time, got the cables I wanted here for about half of retail.
