Ixos filosofi.
A well-constructed quality cable is a subtle and remarkable piece of technology. After all, it has to perform a very difficult task. Put simply, a cable’s job is to carry and deliver delicate and highly complex signals from point to point in an entertainment system. It must do this without altering or degrading the signal in any way. Therefore the quality and efficiency of your cables, or their Signal Circulation System™, will determine the ultimate performance of your equipment. When you choose your cables, you choose your Signal Circulation System™. And that’s precisely what IXOS® brings to cable design. Improved Signal Circulation™.
How do we do it? Well, firstly our cable designs have to take into account the properties and behaviour patterns of a wide variety of materials used in their construction. Secondly, we factor in the influence of the cable’s geometry. Thirdly, we put this together and analyse how the materials and the chosen geometry interact with each other... All of this will inevitably effect the character and integrity of the transmitted signal you can hear and see. In other words, the actual performance you will experience.
Ultimately it’s the performance that counts!
That’s why at IXOS® our design and development process finally relies on subjective audience evaluation. What does it sound like? How vivid and natural is the video picture? These are the tireless questions that we ask in order to verify our theoretical and scientific research.
The simple fact is that supporting subjective performance is a wealth of science and technology research. What follows is a brief introduction and overview of the technology that goes into making our cables. Whilst none of this will convey the dramatic quality of the experience you will get from using IXOS® cables in your system, it will help you understand why IXOS® cables will give you Improved Signal Circulation™.”
Anmeldelse.
The big idea that has kept Ixos cables, such as the XHA716, distinctive for some years is Gamma Geometry.
This is a way of interlacing two conductors with an insulating thread which is claimed to combine the good qualities of parallel and twisted pairs, without the drawbacks of either. It's a perfectly decent way of doing things, though I've never managed to work out just what the drawbacks are of twisted pairs.
Still, Gamma Geometry does give a slightly lower capacitance than normal twisted pair, a feature helped by the use of foamed polythene insulation.
There's a screen too and the whole assembly is sheathed in soft PVC, with a nylon braid over the top, making it a rather bulky affair (about nine millimetres in diameter) but still quite flexible.
The nicely made phono plugs are very securely fitted and give a firm, but not ridiculous grip on standard sockets.
Somehow the tonal balance never seems absolutely natural through this cable. There's a slight prominence to the upper bass which can slightly warm up a bass-light small loudspeaker – no bad thing in itself – but which also subtly impairs the precision of that frequency range.
Low bass is rather impressive, though, with plenty of extension and good control too, making for an overall result that has plenty of impact and bite.
Midrange is good above the 'bump' frequency and treble is well extended, though perhaps just a shade shut in at times.
This may not be quite the cable for everyone – I found it a little frustrating with classical music – but it is great for rock and other highenergy, rhythm-heavy musical styles.
