NEW : Mad Scientist Prime USB Cable
New: Black Magic Speaker Cables
The Prime design scheme uses prime numbers to build a highly non-resonant “bad antenna” structure. This produces a cable that is less noisy and interferes less with the rest of the system. The result is extreme musicality and transparency.
From review in HiFi Advice : Click Here to read full review
The Prime USB cable’s virtues are balanced beautifully, leading to a performance that is thoroughly involving, expressive, and lifelike. I wondered what yet another USB cable could possibly bring, but I have to hand it to the Mad Scientist, for he has once again delivered!
The Prime USB is now my favorite USB cable!
NEW Black Magic ULTRA Speaker Cables
New: Black Magic Speaker Cables
In 2021 we released our original Black Magic Speaker Cables to much acclaim. This was due to a number of unique design features and techniques that made them sound just awesome.
We’ve improved and refined these techniques and the result is the Ultra Speaker cable.
From Hi-Fi Advice review “The bass still pressurizes the room more than any other cable I have heard, but instead of some of the “extra ballsiness” of the regular Black Magic cable, the Black Magic Ultra cable now offers a newfound level of fluidity and refinement while the treble is also opener and airier“
Black Magic Speaker Cables
New: Black Magic Speaker Cables
Black Magic Speaker Cables are a completely new design that embodies symmetry and balance.
From Hi-Fi Advice Review: “I am much impressed with these cables and if you ask me, the Mad Scientist has really outdone himself. They provide a sound that seems to have been lost in so many other brands. These days, cables seem to be all about being more and more polished and refined, to the point that the musical message gets glossed over and the raw energy is lost. The Black Magic cables may be highly accurate and superbly neutral, but they do not sound damped or over-controlled in any way. Rather, they fully conduce the full extent of the lyrical and “singing” qualities of every recording“
Black Magic ULTRA and GOLD USB Cables
New: Black Magic Speaker Cables
After 4 years, we are pleased to announce an update to our best-selling Black Magic USB cable : Black Magic ULTRA and GOLD
From Hi-Fi Advice Review: “The Black Magic Gold is sweeter, more liquid, and more refined, making for a sound that is robust and has great tonal beauty but is also fluid, accommodating, and easy to listen to..”
The GOLD version uses silver/gold alloy wires and next-level mechanical damping to give a super high-end cable.
Black Magic ULTRA and GOLD Interconnects
NEW: Black Magic and Black Magic ULTRA Interconnects
Our new Black Magic ULTRA interconnects use some of the technology from the speaker cables to produce a true high-end performance in terms of resolution and musicality.
The GOLD version takes this to extreme, using selected silver/gold alloy wire and next-level mechanical damping.
From Hi-Fi Advice Review: “The first sonic trait that strikes me when hearing the Black Magic Gold Interconnect is its tonal purity. The cable sounds remarkably robust, sonorous, full-bodied, and very crisply textured“
Black Magic Network (Ethernet) Cable — Regular and ULTRA versions
Black Magic Network (Ethernet) Cable
The Mad Scientist is pleased to introduce new Black Magic Network Cable designed for connecting music PCs, streamers etc to your network.
Black Magic Network Cable will have a similar magnitude improvement as the Black Magic USB cable (I can hear the so-called “objectivists” chortling “yeah right – none”). But these folks can’t explain why I can pick these cables blind with a bucket over my head..
The ULTRA version adds stage 2 screening, borrowed from our USB cable.
