Where to start

No cable is best for every system. This page narrows it down before you ask for a quote, so the conversation can get straight to the point.

By position

Every position is a different problem

The usual order of priority: power first, then speaker cable, then interconnect, and digital last.

01
Interconnect
Choose by how noisy the room is. A room full of switching supplies, dimmers and dense wifi wants a shielded run; a quiet one gives more back with none.
- Kinari
- Yohaku
02
Speaker
Choose by amplifier power and speaker sensitivity. A low-power valve amp with sensitive speakers loses agility if the gauge is too heavy.
- Sumi
- Nagi
03
Power
This is the first thing to change, and change it on the source before the power amplifier. Measure the distance to the outlet before picking a length.
- Kuro
04
Digital
Only worth changing once the rest is settled. The single priority is consistent impedance, including at the joint — not the conductor material.
- Mizu

Made to order

Every run is built to order. The available lengths and terminations are listed on each product page.

Need a different length? We build to the figure you give us, with no cutting surcharge.

Measure first: a run routed behind a rack usually needs 20–30 cm more than the visible distance.

Matched sets

Three ready pairings, all from one material family so the character does not fight itself between positions.

First set
The two positions that return the most per unit spent: power and speaker. Change these first and leave the rest for later.
Includes
- Kuro
- Nagi
Suited to
A system still on its bundled cables, wondering whether cable changes are real.
Listening room set
Enough for a complete two-channel system: power, interconnect and speaker cable from one material family.
Includes
Suited to
A settled system whose owner wants one consistent signal path.
Digital front end
For a digital source: an impedance-controlled USB link and a minimal interconnect from DAC to amplifier.
Includes
- Mizu
- Yohaku
Suited to
A computer or streamer as the source, with the amplification already settled.

Before you decide

14 days at home
Take it to your own system. If it does not suit, return it as it came and we refund; you cover shipping both ways.
Lifetime warranty on the joints
A failed solder joint or a loose termination from our workmanship, we repair free of charge, with no time limit.
Re-waxing years later
Cloth sleeving dries out — that is normal. Send it back and we re-wax it and return it within a week.
Length exchange within 30 days
Mismeasured? One exchange, and you only cover the difference in material.

Common questions

Does it need burning in?: The cloth and the wax need a few days to settle mechanically. We promise nothing about sound during that time, and we do not ask you to wait before judging it.
Is it directional?: We mark the direction the braid was laid, purely so it goes back the same way if you unplug it. That is the only reason.
How far do the numbers go?: Far enough to rule out most wrong answers. Capacitance too high over a long interconnect, or an impedance mismatch on a digital run, is both audible and measurable. But two cables with the same figures can still feel different — and only a listening session in your own room settles that.
How long does it take?: Each run is built by hand, so usually 7–10 working days from the moment length and terminations are settled. A matched set takes a few days longer.

Listening room

The room opens by appointment, one guest at a time. Bring your own records — and the cable you use now, so the comparison is direct.

Nothing is sold online — every order starts with a conversation.
