compares the mambo cable to cables costing ten times more.
Following are some excerpts from what Scandinavia’s most respected audio
reviewers
have to say about the mambo; Frisk
og
frekk! Stort rom, strålende innsyn, flott enengasjement - Håkon Rognlien En glimrende
miks av åpenhet og substans, noe man bare
kan oppnå med betydelig hastighet,
glimrende oppløsning, uklanderlig dynamikk og et lettflytende og
ekstremt
finkornet lydbilde. Ikke så ”imponerende” som noen av de andre på
enkelte
parametre, men ærlig og nøktern. Og helt uten noen egentlig svake sider.
–Trond Torgensskar Detaljert,
støyfri og ren, med et stort lydbilde som fyller godt i stua. – Jan
Myrvold VITAL er
nøkkelordet som inkluderer gode transienter og flott bass. -Anders
Rossnes Lyden flyter
glatt og uhindret med betydelig hastighet og oppløsning helt uten kanter
i
lydbildet. Lyden går simpelthen som olja lyn. -Knut Vadseth September 2008 The Mambo Ag signal cable is reviewed by Erik Paulsen on

The equipment I’m playing
on today includes the Muse Polhymnia CD-Player, CJ-ACT2 pre-amp, Wavac
tubemonoblocks and Sonus Faber Guarneri Memento. What happens when I insert
this cable? Expressed in two words, one could say that everything improves.
Space expands in all directions. The 3-D feeling is downright unheard of, until
now. Voices and instruments suddenly have body and stand forward much clearer.
Everything is presented with more dynamics, intimacy and weight. Personally I
play a lot of piano music at home and it’s almost shocking how natural the
piano sounds now. I have never heard such obvious improvements changing cables.
A quick change to other "mass produced” cables of "High-end quality” and all
magic is gone. We are not talking subtleties her. I actually hear greater
differences here than when changing some source components. To me it’s all about
greater insight in the music. It is now much easier to follow the music,
because the presentation is more real. How does it sound then? Neutral? warm?
Personally I find musical experiences hard to describe with words. The word
"neutral” in hi-fi jargon does not make much sense to me. It does not transmit
the feeling as actually intended. Neither do I have an arsenal of cables at
hand to make comparisons. Primarily this is about a cable where all parameters
are included; natural or real may be the word. Personally I feel it tends to
warm, maybe, in the way there is harmony without anything sticking out.
It’s all about the music...plain and simple, you will understand when you try
it. Erik Paulsen Hifisentralen 5. Sept 2007
For the entire thread in Norwegian check this link: ”I have owned and used top range cables from companies like Nordost, MIT, Transparent Audio, Crystal Cable etc, even amongst these the Mambo cable is unique. This is my personal experience with the Emm Labs rig and my own Esoteric-rig.
During my 15-16 years in this hobby I have never heard before a more natural presentation of instruments and voices, totally free from distortion and sibilants”. Endre Askeland Hifisentralen 17. June 2007
”The inventor of this cable has understood something, and achieved something, that few other cable makers are capable of. That is why I believe this cable to be a little sensation on the Norwegian High End sky”.
