I've recently listened to several cables in my system including the solo crystal ovals. I ultimately decided on the Ridge Street Audio Poiemas however the solo crystals are very good and do deserve the excellent praise they've received. I know its difficult to listen to all the cables out there because of the time consuming task of purchasing and returning cables. I preferred the Poiemas in my system because I heard greater speed and resolution, however the solo crystals are fuller sounding probably because of their copper design and are a little more laid back. The Poiemas on the otherhand place the vocals a little more forward and sound more like live music and drew me into the music more. The Poiemas do use the silver Eichmanns and do not use connectors for the speaker cables, the connector being an extension of the silver conductor shaped like a connector. My suggestion is to try as many cables as you can and decide on which cable brings you the most musical satisfaction. If I hadn't heard the Ridge Streets I would have been very happy with Solo Crystals.
