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.

Back in Nov., 2010, I relayed my experience with the fusion cables. I happened to come across the continuation of that thread and thought I would throw in some additional thoughts about another remarkable cable line - mojo audio. The ICs were referred to me by a agoner that had sold his stealth ics (6000.) after he heard the mojos. The mojo ics in my system are more open and detailed than the fushions. The fusion a little more "romantic" in a colored (not a bad colored at all) sort of way. When I first tried the mojos in my system, there was noticably more information being delivered and I assumed this would mean a return of the digital glare I had gotted rid of with the fushions, but lo and behold, silky smooth even with the additional detail - I was taken back. The mojos provide so much info. but it is all presented so natural. I am currently using both the fusion cables (PCs) and mojo cables (PCs/ics)in my system and honestly believe that between the two cable companies any audiophile system is covered, no matter what the need and no matter the price. Benjamin at mojo is also easy to deal with although mojo does not send out cables for trial without payment like eric will (totally unique I think). Eric is just so customer friendly that you start to wonder if it is a practical joke. Also, mojo's power supplies make a crazy, crazy improvement in a system. I am using one with a mac mini. More detail, dynamics - big time PRAT improvement. These companies are making products that are so good for the money and only those who happen to fall upon them will find out.
BTW, back in '10, I see that Pani asked me a question that I never responded to because I guess i never checked back on the thread - apology to Pani.
Owenlee, what Mojo PCs are you using and with the components in your system? Have you tried the Mojo XPC-7 PC?
I am using the copper ic. BTW, I should mention that I sold a pair of the fusion interconnects I had to a friend who replaced Stealth Audio Sakras($10,000)with the romance 2's. He was totally thrilled with the money he pocketed and he thought his system sounded better.
I am using the mojo XPC-5 with the spectron musician MkIII. I have not tried the XPC-7, but i would guess similar to the 5. I feel very confident that performance for the dollar is going to be hard to beat. I have kept fusion power cables elsewhere in my system primarily because the system is pretty much where I always wanted it to be and I don't feel like messing with it. I just read the review of mojo cables referenced on its website that was done by audiophilia and am glad to see his thoughts mirror what i had expressed here re the interconnects. Interesting that the reviewer, with the mojo cables, felt he was done reviewing cables.
