Why Cable Research Lab?

“I've been listening intently to your cables in my downstairs system, which ain't too shabby I should tell you. All in all, the system is sounding quite good but with the insertion of your cables, they actually improved quite a bit over an already impressive line of cables I've used for the past three years. Incredible amounts of naturalness is the word that continues to come to mind.

Natural is the most important thing a cable should do first because it then leads the way to many other sonic attributes like ease and flow of rhythm, dynamic swing and contrasts, detail, and lastly depth and space.

You ought to feel quite proud of this product because I think it's going to be a giant killer (not that it's cheap either). But there's a lot out there that costs more that I will tell could not keep up with your Gold Series.”

“I like the cables a lot, and it may take legal action to get me to remove them from my system.”

“I have always received excellent service from CRL and I love your cables. I own ICs and Speaker cables of both Gold and Silver Series.

Let me first say that the CRL series of cables are the most transparent, dynamic, coherent and balanced cables I have ever heard in my system. They truly take your system a huge step forward in a way that I thought was not possible just by changing the cables. From my point of view, they stand apart from anything I have heard, which is quite a lot, and compete in a league of their own.

I would say that the general attributes that apply to their Gold and Silver line are the following:

• more frequency extension than with any other cable brand I have heard so far, especially in the bass;
• very well balanced and coherent over the whole frequency spectrum;
• a sense of presence and immediacy of the music that makes all other cables sound hollow, boxy and boomy;
• they portray the widest, deepest and most detailed soundstage I have ever heard;
• very well controlled at the frequency extremes (not rolled off, but controlled) which means that some boom in the bass that I thought was to blame on the listening room now has disappeared (so it was due to my old cables!!);
• the music is portrayed against an absolutely silent and black background;
• the level of micro-detail (timbre of instruments and voices, ambiance, decay of the musical notes, etc.) revealed by CRL cables is unmatched in my experience;

All this lets you hear into the music in a way that was unknown to me. With these cables you don't talk about "highs", "bass" or detail. All these things come through, but in a completely unforced and natural way, which makes the listening experience quite unique and absolutely non-fatiguing. All other cables sound unrefined and uncontrolled by comparison.

Best regards and thank you so much for the many hours of pleasure.”

“I personally use the new CRL Gold Series speaker cables, and can honestly tell you that they sound much better then the original CRL Gold Series, which was hard for me to believe at first. I did not think that anything could sound better then the original version. They are much more accurate through the entire spectrum of sound, hands down.”
