SILVER SONIC BL-1 Series II Interconnect is a high performance audio interconnect cable that combines the highest sound quality and reliability available at its price point. In the tradition of our highly acclaimed SILVER SONIC T-14 High Resolution Speaker Cable, SILVER SONIC BL-1 is made in USA and uses the finest materials available, including high purity silver, FEP and oxygen-free copper. SILVER SONIC BL-1 is a balanced cable designed for use with both RCA and XLR connectors. It is 100% shielded, and can operate in close proximity to digital equipment without noise pick up. The conductors consist of slow drawn oxygen free copper, which are coated with pure silver, the silver coating thickness being chosen to provide optimum synergy with the OFC base metal. The conductors are insulated with a special FEP dielectric. Silver Sonic BL-1 uses large 20 gauge conductors for low signal loss. Every spool is tested, and our FEP insulators are made to the highest standards in the industry. Cables are terminated with special silver bearing solders and the finest connectors available. Each connector is meticulously hand soldered by carefully trained craftspeople. Bulk lengths are also available for custom installations.

The DH Labs Silver Sonic BL-1 InterconnectBy Doug Blackburn And now... introducing... in a Positive Feedback return performance... DH Labs Silver Sonic BL-1 interconnect. You've read about these here and possibly elsewhere. This is another "I-wrote-`em-off" story. This time it was because a $95 woar ("wire" for non-Texans) seemed unlikely to be anything more than a decent "entry level" interconnect. I won't even keep you in suspense over this one. I am replacing some interconnects in my system with DHL SS BL-1 because the first review pair sounded so good. The wires replaced ranged from 2x to 6x the price of the $95 per meter pair Silver Sonic BL-1. The bulk wire is only $3.50 a foot! The 20-gauge stranded conductors are made of high purity copper wire with a double-thick "5 nines" silver plating. Insulation is the highest grade of Teflon available. The type of Teflon specified for use over silver to prevent oxygen migration that would let the silver oxidize. There are 2 conductors in a twisted pair. Twisted with them is a poly fiber damper and an uninsulated drain wire for the shield. Over the top of this "assembly" is a full foil shield. A blue PVC outer jacket completes the package. I tried the Silver Sonic BL-1 interconnect between CD player and preamp first. It was a significant improvement over Aural Symphonics Gen. 2 which had been selected over some far more expensive wires. Not because A.S. Gen. 2 was less expensive (about $180/m-pr), but because it sounded better than the more expensive wires. Along comes the BL-1 and just knocks the AS Gen. 2 right out of there. Better in all respects. The surprising success with the CD/preamp interconnect initiated a string of phone calls to owner Darren Hovsepian. Each call reminded me of calling Mom and Dad from college and asking for more money. "Darren, do you think you could send a hundred feet of BL-1 and some hookup wire and some spades and some RCAs and some solder and some T-14? There are a few experiments I want to try." Each time I tried the BL-1 interconnect in a new location, it successfully replaced the wire I had been using. This was a first for me. In the past I'd always found certain wires that worked really well in one application, but not so well in another application. I was impressed that BL-1 could work so well in so many different locations and applications. Other people had written about BL-1 being so much better than their previous wires, but I wasn't that impressed with those other wires. Hearing BL-1 for the first time was an eye opener. When I finally reconciled the low cost with how much more connected with the music I get with BL-1, I realized there would be another problem... making this "review" sound credible. Darren's pricing of BL-1 ($95 per meter pair, $125 per 2 meter pair, + $23 per additional meter pair or $3.50 per foot bulk) is also a "problem." Are you sitting there taking what I'm writing seriously? Are you thinking "an excellent performing interconnect for $3.50 per foot, I have to try this right away!" Or "yeah, sure, I've heard it all before, Radio Shack 3400 all over again." I'm guessing that more of you are uninterested than interested, and that is too bad. My wife is not often moved by small improvements, shrugging her shoulders more often than not over a little better bass detail or sweeter highs. She hears it, but doesn't get too excited. When she sat down and listened to the system after all the Silver Sonic wire was burned-in, she actually said, "Man, that sounds a lot better. I bet you aren't sending THOSE back." And I guess she's right. Here's why, in my view, the Silver Sonic BL-1 was able to "beat" wires costing many times its price:
Even if you aren't interested in new interconnects, DH Labs Silver Sonic BL-1 wire could surprise the heck out of you. If you think your expensive wires must sound better than these, think again. If you think all your system needs is your good-for-the-money <$100 interconnects to sound its best, think again. BL-1 transcends good-for-the-money wires. This wire is good by any measure.

↓아래는 SPEAKER BUILDER의 리뷰입니다.SPEAKER BUILDERD.H. LABS SILVER SONIC AUDIO CABLESBy Gary Galo Contributing Editor D.H. Labs is a newcomer to the audio cable scene, and its first products are sure to attract attention among those who believe that cables make a difference. High-end audio designers generally agree that Teflon is the best solid dielectric material. Measurements introduced nearly fifteen years ago have shown the superiority of Teflon in critical performance areas, including dissipation factor and dielectric absorption (among other things, audio cables are capacitors). D.H. Labs has recently introduced its new "Silver Sonic" cable line, including the T-14 loudspeaker cable and BL-1 interconnect. The T-14 consists of two 14AWG conductors with pure DuPont Teflon TFE insulation. TFE is the highest grade of Teflon available. The stranded conductors are made of oxygen-free copper, and each is individually coated with silver. Silver is a superb conductor - but it oxidizes easily. To prevent this, the T-14s's conductors are tightly sealed with the Teflon insulation. The insulated conductors are spiraled for low inductance, yet capacitance is also low - around 22pF/ft. These cables should mate well with most amplifier/loudspeaker combinations. The center conductors are wound with a vibration-damping filler and tightly covered with a tension wrap and heavy outer jacket, making the cable virtually immune to resonances and microphonics. The BL-1 is a fully balanced interconnect cable consisting of two insulated center conductors, plus a foil shield and a separate drain wire. The conductors are made from slow-drawn, oxygen-free copper. Each of the fine strands is individually plated with silver. The dielectric is a new Teflon copolymer. D.H. Labs' president, Darren Hovsepian, claims the new copolymer has nearly identical electrical characteristics as the pure Teflon TFE used in the T-14 loudspeaker cable. The copolymer requires less heat in the extrusion process, however, which is advantageous when manufacturing a finely stranded cable. The overall gauge of the conductors and drain wire is 20AWG, heavier than many interconnects. The BL-1 contains vibration-damping fillers similar to those used in the T-14 speaker cable. The outer jacket is extruded under pressure, further reducing the possibility of resonances and microphonics. I evaluated the T-14 and BL-1 cables with my biamped Audio Concepts Sapphire IIti/Sub 1 loudspeaker system, fed with a pair of Adcom GFA-585 power amps (the Sapphire IIti's amp is modified) and an extensively modified Adcom GFP-565 preamp. The Sapphire IIti satellites are biwire (detailed in "Bi-Amping the Sapphire II Sub-I System," SB 3/92, p. 24). I fitted the T-14 loudspeaker cables with gold-plated Old Colony's fork lugs. I use Canare F-10 RCA connectors with the BL-1 cables. I had several weeks to evaluate the T-14 speaker cable before the BL-1 interconnect arrived. My existing speaker cables were AudioQuest Indigo Blue; my interconnects were made from Grado Signature Laboratory Standard Audio Cable (no longer available in bulk form). Both of the D.H. Labs "Silver Sonic" cables made a significant improvement in my system. I was enormously impressed with the increase in detail and resolution. Soundstage reproduction is also superior to my previous cables, being larger than I'm accustomed to. The D.H. Labs cables are extremely smooth and extended in the high frequencies, with plenty of the elusive air and space, yet free of any harshness. I have found them to be extremely musical over the long haul (I've used the BL-1 interconnects for several weeks, and the T-14 speaker cables for over two months). If the BL-1 is used in an unbalanced application (e.g., most home installations), the shield should float at one end. On the source end, connect both the black center conductor and the drain wire to the shield of the RCA connector. On the load end, leave the drain wire unconnected. In this configuration, the BL-1 has a capacitance of about 44pF/ft. I recommend using a small piece of heat shrink tubing to make sure the drain wire remains insulated on the load end of the cable. The arrows printed on the cable should point toward the load. The cable isn't manufactured with directional characteristics, but the arrows provide an easy means of identifying the load end once the cable has been fitted with RCA connectors. You'll also need to purchase terminations for the T-14 speaker cables. The gold-plated fork lugs sold by Old Colony work well (cat. #SCFFF, $2.95/pair). D.H. Labs offers four different gold-plated terminators at a very reasonable cost. The SP-1 spade connector will accept 10AWG wire; cost is $2.20/pair. The SP-2 spade connecgtor will accept up to 8AWG wire; cost is $4.50/pair. D.H. Labs also offers the B-1C banana connectors and P-1 pin connectors, at $5.50 and $3.00/pair, respectively. Recently I evaluated the Kimber Kable KCAG interconnects and 4AG speaker cables. These cables are made with Kimber's proprietary Silver Varistrand conductors and Teflon insulation. The interconnects are terminated with Kimber's RCA-M plugs, and the speaker cables with Postmasters. The KCAG interconnect cables cost $350/meter pair. The 4AG speaker cables are $100/foot. While I found the Kimber Kables slightly better than the D.H. Labs cables in most areas of performance, it's clear that the law of diminishing returns is at work. A 1m pair of D.H. Labs BL-1 cables fitted with Canare F-10 connectors will cost around $30 [if you assemble them yourself]. The same length of Kimber KCAG with Kimber RCA-M plugs will cost nearly 12 times that amount. I think few listeners would say they were 12 times as good. Kimber's 4AG speaker cables are nearly 30 times the cost of the D.H. Labs T-14, if the T-14 is fitted with one of D.H. Labs gold-plated terminations. Again, the Kimber Kables are excellent, but, in my view, nothing like 30 times as good as the D.H. Labs cable. D.H. Labs offers unprecedented value, with excellent performance even when compared to cables selling for many times the price. The D.H. Labs cables are easy to work with. The BL-1 interconnect is flexible enough to warrant serious consideration for internal wiring in preamps, electronic crossovers, and other low-level circuitry. The use of a drain wire/foil shield combination makes the shield connection easy. D.H. Labs is expanding its dealer network, so ask for the name of a dealer near you. D.H. Labs have brought the cost of high-quality Teflon-based cables and connectors within reach of any serious audiophile. These products are highly recommended. MANUFACTURER RESPONSE I would like to thank SB and Gary Galo for reviewing our Silver Sonic audio cables. Our goal for the Silver Sonic line is to offer high-end performance at affordable prices, and we are very pleased that Gary was impressed with the performance and value of the cables. One point that I believe would be of special interest to speaker builders is that the conductors in our speaker cable and interconnect are tightly sealed in the Teflon insulation and will not oxidize over time. This is especially important for the wiring inside speaker enclosures, which cannot be easily replaced.

The High-End Audio E-Zine DH Labs Silver Sonic Interconnects and Speaker CablesYou may think that with all of the megabuck gear I get to use that only the most exotic and expensive equipment can excite me. Not true, although I do concede that it's easy to become so entangled in the more esoteric products that you can't see the forest or the trees. But as I've outlined in recent reviews, I've assembled a second more budget-minded system, and this keeps me in check (somewhat) and on the lookout for good gear that doesn't cost a fortune--like the DH Labs Silver Sonic interconnects and speaker cables. SoundStage! first called attention to these cost-effective cables way back in early 1996; and because of Doug Schneider's praise then, I thought I would give the cables a listen and give you another idea of how they perform in general and work in my budget setup, which I've unceremoniously named System Two (we midwesterners aren't known for our flair). You probably know the story behind the Silver Sonic cables--silver-plated copper conductors, Teflon insulation--but there are a few fine points I'd like to mention. First, the Silver Sonic speaker cables, given the model designation T-14, use as an insulator TFE Teflon, which is the highest grade of Teflon available. Each of the oxygen-free-copper strands is tightly sealed in the TFE insulation to prevent oxidation. The BL-1 interconnects consist of two insulated center conductors, a foil shield and a separate drain wire. The dielectric is a Teflon copolymer, which is used because it requires less heat in the extrusion process and has nearly the same electrical characteristics as the TFE Teflon in the Silver Sonic speaker cables. All Silver Sonic cables (the line also includes coaxial and AES/EBU digital cables) employ special geometries that reduce noise and increase electrical efficiency. The Silver Sonic speaker cables are 14 AWG in thickness, the interconnects 20 AWG. I'd like to say that the Silver Sonic cables are a discovery, but they're not. Many audiophiles already know about them, so let me add my blackbird's voice to the flock: they're terrific, worth more than their relatively modest price, and make fine music indeed. I've used them--two pairs of interconnects and two runs of speaker cable--in both of my systems, but because of their price, I've had them more in System Two than the reference rig. In either system they exhibited the same set of strengths: wonderful transparency and coherency, superb tonal balance rivaling that of the very best cables available at any price, and the ability to mine lots of intricate detail. The way the Silver Sonic cables disappear is exemplary, to the point where I had to keep reminding myself that I had them in the system, and they performed their feats with a wide variety of music--well recorded and not. Tonally, the Silver Sonic cables are nimble and airy. They portray the mellifluous highs of CDs like k.d. lang's Ingenue with obvious naturalness. Joe Henderson's Big Band, which is packed with horns, has just the right amount of bite, and James Taylor's Dad Loves His Work, an older recording that sounds way smooth even by today's standards, was positively blooming with body and presence. Although a single run of the Silver Sonic T-14 speaker cable didn't allow my reference system to display quite the bass extension of the biwire JPS Labs cables that I normally use, using two runs of T-14 solved the problem (and perhaps one of DH Labs' special biwire runs would also do the trick). On the Meadowlark Kestrels and Merlin TSMs used in System Two, this problem was non-existent. Speakers like the ProAc Response 4s make differences in cables very noticeable, especially when their 20-Hz bass extension is somehow affected. And this leads me to my main point: although I used the Silver Sonic cables primarily in a system of more modest-priced components, they were at home in my reference system too, and I can say with confidence that I could live peacefully with them there (in fact, I did for quite a while, until it was time to give some other set of wires a go). So at their prices, the Silver Sonic interconnects and speaker cables are a bargain, and given their level of performance, they're also a no-brainer. Highly recommended. ...Marc Mickelson DH Labs Silver Sonic BL-1 Interconnect and T-14 Speaker Cable Prices:
