  • Crimson Audio RM Music Link Speaker Cable, Part 5

    One of the benefits of growing up in San Francisco's Fillmore was being surrounded by R&B, soul, dance, funk music.  My upstairs neighbors were African American.  Every now and then, I'd go after school to the their unit.  The granddaughter was a year younger than I.  She would bring out this little record player with built-in speaker, and play her vinyl.  She was the one who introduced me, 35 years ago, to the Commodores' eponymous album. 

    "Brick House" was very popular.  And so was "Easy."  However, we disagreed with the line, "easy like Sunday morning."  You see, Sunday mornings were for (a) church, or (b) football.  Neither was easy.

    Since the Crimson Audio RM Music Link comes with banana plugs, it is very easy to connect.

    Regardless of what we've used the RM Music Link with, its speed, neutrality, honesty, and easy reproduction has shined.

    Finally, we have a speaker cable which shows that each piece of gear performs differently, each recording sounds different.  We feel like running outdoors, and proclaiming the RM Music Link's virtues and superiority.

    And if that weren't enough, the Primare A33.2 has finally found a speaker cable with which it is okay.  With all other speaker cables, the A33.2 curls up, thickens, congests, and packs it in.  Not so with the RM Music Link.  Now, the A33.2 actually shows some speed and expression.
