Fusion Audio Romance series cables


On rare occasion I am dumbfounded by a products performance and or an enormous difference between the product and it's more expensive competition. I have been using the Fusion Audio silver Enchanter pc's on my Atma-sphere MA-1 mk.3's for quite some time now. I have also been using Eric's Interlocker i/c's between my modified RA Opus 21 cdp and my Aesthetix Calypso pre and also to the Atma-sphere's with spectacular results. Eric contacted me almost a year ago in regards to his new Romance line and wanted to know if I would give them a listen, naturally I jumped at the chance. Eric sent me two of his top model Romance pc's and a pair of the copper/gold ic's. The pc's were replacing two Kubala Sosna Emotion power cords on my cdp and pre. I was absolutely astounded by the increase in transparency that the Romance cords provided over the KS Emotions.The KS Emotions are credited for their midrange qualities, however by comparison the Emotions were veiled, gungy, and congested sounding. The Fusions are far more extended in the frequency extremes and had a much better grip in the lower regions. Instruments had much more life like timbre to their presentation. I was hearing more of the wooden body of the cello. Piano had become a far more realistically compelling instrument. The flute no longer had a slightly dry anemic quality to it. The bottom line is these cables breathed new life into my system. I listen to alot of neveau flamenco stuff that is very rhythmic with alot of assorted percussion and the Fusions speed, pace, and timing are exquisite. The soundstage with the Fusion Romance cords and Ic's became much larger and more three dimensional. I now had a more dense presentation stretching from rear corner to corner.If you want vocals that have that "in your room" spooky quality, the Romance copper/gold ic's are amazing. I am now using all Fusion cabling in my system with the exception of my speaker cabling (Eric has not released a speaker cable as of yet) I have a mix of Enchanter, Interlocker, and Romace cabling and could not be happier with the performance, and the Fusion cabling didn't drain my wallet either. The build quality is outstanding and Eric's customer service is second to none. These cables are a killer bargain. For you conspiracy theorists, NO, I am not affiliated with Fusion Audio in any way. Here are some of the cabling brands I have used long term in the past.

I would like to add that Eric started making speaker cables. I happen to get one of the first production pairs. He rightfully decided to call them Magic. They build on the same principals as his great Romance 2 ICs. All these years I was under impression that the biggest impact to the system from cables changes comes from ICs and PCs. Installing Eric’s Fusion Audio Magic cables made a biggest impact to the sound in my system.
His cables removed digital glare and the sound became so natural and balanced that I glued to my chair every time I listen any of my CDs. Its like I’m playing great quality LP in my all solid state cd based system (esoteric k-03 cdp, gamut di-150 integrated and sonus faber elipsas speakers). As for the rest of the sound attributes of that cables, consider them of the same nature as the Romance 2 IC that OP nailed exactly.
Before Eric's speaker cables I had the following cables over the years in my system: stealth hybrid MLT cryo, stealth dream petite, acoustic zen absolute,
ASI liveline, and the last ones before fusion SC were Gabriel gold raptures - great cables, they exceeded all my previous findings. All of those cables had their strengths and weaknesses but nothing was as balanced as Fusion Magic, in addition imaging became better with fusions and bass became tighter and more defined than with gabriels
So bottom line – Eric’s speaker cables in my system made even bigger and better impact than his Romance 2 ICs. Also they are very well build and very flexible to work with.
Like OP I am not affiliated in any way with Fusion audio, just a customer.
