Achievum Cables - Live Mk 1 audio interconnect cable



The Live Mk 1 was an excellent upgrade into high-end hi-fi.



I had the opportunity to test quite a few of the popular cost-no-limit interconnect cables at home. I unfortunately was not very impressed with Nordost Valhalla or the Analysis plus silver oval interconnects. Finally I was also able to add a pair of MIT demo cables the Live Mk 1 interconnect cable (they have a great 30 days try at home offer at http://www.achievum.eu/index.html) to the test.



After having all cables installed back and forth over extended period of time, I found that Live Mk 1 gave by far the best stereo image in my system [McIntosh MC252, Audio Research CD5 and CP-8571]. They rendered an overall holistic depth and a breathtaking placement and intimacy of instruments and vocals, which was not to be found in the other cables.



When taking the price (450 USD) in consideration I find them to be exceptional value for money.
