Simply Gold:
This is a good entry level cable for the "high Ender".
it could also be a very good entry level for the moderate or video
system; or a great cable for a secondary or bedroom system.
This is a shielded, "twisted pare" design that is fast clear, warm
and musical, with presence and decay that may for image and
background.
Solderless high Conductivity copper RCAs are used for this model.
Teflon inner structure makes this "kink resistant, Black outside
braid over shielding gives this a slightly luminous look.
Oxygen Free Copper XLRs can be used to terminate this cable for
those with a balanced system; however they are not a solderless
design.
Easily sounds better than "$600 per Meter" retail!

Out of all of my cables this is the one that has made the biggest
splash.
This is the cable that most of my "upgrade" customers want to try
as their second purchase.
This cable solves the problem of some solid state gear when it
sounds a little "thin".
This is the cable that has "top", "bottom", "forward", "back", and
"height" and "width" at what would be considered the entry to
middle level for the true High End Audio Enthusiast.
this cable is also known as "Herbie's Audio Lab,
SuperSonic Synergy" as I am producing them for a fine Gentleman who's
entire audio directive is "Synergy".
For many fine Audio Products, such as The Grunge Buster, Tender Feet, and
the best tube dampers anywhere, Please consider Visiting:
Herbie's Audio Lab at
www.herbiesaudiolab.com
Steve Herblin backs my cable with a Life Time warranty.
The Golden Pyramid Grand is a shielded version of this cable. It brings
a 3D bass and warmth that can make solid State gear sound tube-like in
it's richness and authority without losing any of the presentation
or detail of it's more exactly linear little brother.
The Golden Pyramid can easily compare to $1000 cables like The ones
some of us dreamed about; when we first started hearing that
true "high end" sound.
I'm selling this cable direct for a beginning price of half it's
comparative performance retail market.
yes, half, direct to you, a $1000 audio cable, which has the
ability to be a major system upgrade for your listening pleasure.
RCA Version beginning at $499 in the standard or $549 for the RCA
of Pyramid Grand.
XLR for the Standard starting at $799 and $849 for the
Golden Pyramid Grand.

this cable is the entry level of our truly High End "Extreme" Cable
series and is the most affordable example of the custom Cable
Manufacturing for which AweSound is known.
Excuse this approach to "setting the bar rather high" But, Our
approach with the Extreme series is to continue pushing the
dimensions of the musical sound stage and presentation. It's ease
of delivering delicacy, detail, image, and large
realistic staging are the signature of AweSound I.C.s
This fast and musical, tonally balanced, cable is a shielded,
multi-strand gold plated silver braid that raises the roof on your
listening experience.
we terminate this cable with the Xhadow Silver plated HCC Solderless
RCAs. (We strongly believe that these are the very best RCA from any
manufacturer.)
Starting with a finely crafted plug from High conductivity Copper, it is
then silver plated. As the copper is so pure, there is no "time lag"
between the beginning of the note and it's body or tone. These RCAs will
add tingles and realism to the leading edge, and resolution to the music.
We're aiming at the $2200 per Meter market with this cable, and
having them in our test market has lead us to believe that this is
an extremely strong contender.
Your Direct Pricing is Joyfully Less!
1 Meter is Yours for just $999!
With Xhadow Silver Plated Solderless XLRs, 1499.
How many cables on this planet are using the Xhadow Ultimate RCA
and are still under $1000?
Out of the very few you may find, none will have as big, clear, and
warm a sound as AweSound.
You could look, and then come back. but, prices on all things have
a relative tendency to increase over time.
Or you can buy now. We offer a 30 day trial period.
geometry:
These cables, at their heart, are a twisted pair design. this has
an RF rejection component that is good enough for most systems.
You will hear realistic instruments, balanced tonality, balanced
speed of delivery, and a presence that is supported by a background
that resolves in natural depth and isn't hollow.
Adding shielding is where these cables really step out. Not only
are they very well protected from RF and EMI but the bass will
become tighter and even more authoritative while maintaining clear
silky detailed highs.
These cables are musical without being mushy, boomy, rolled off, or
slow sounding.
We've chosen the Pyramid imagery to indicate that it is designed in
it's shielded version to make a "wider base" or "warmer sound" of
potentially thin sounding solid state gear. Or if you wish to have
a "tube sound" without going through the expense of replacing your
current equipment and then tubes afterward.
But to restate, "this cable is in no way "rolled off".

Materials:
All wiring is passed through generous Teflon tubing for minimal
surface contact with a material that will not slow the skin effect
which gives the cable its detail and speed.
These insulated conductors are then fed through a larger Teflon
tube giving the cable a sturdy protective structural shell that
also helps avoid almost all accidental crimping.
PVC heat shrink is used in addition to the strain relief provided
by the plugs firm but gentle mechanical grip on the conductors
Finally a black nylon covering is placed on the cable as a further
layer of protection from accidental damage.
Notes From the Bench.
Metals:
The conductors used in my cables, are a 24k
gold plated silver.
The warmth of gold is getting well known for it's silk-silky highs,
"alto" through "baritone" sonic warmth, and bass depth. silver is known
for being tight and detailed with great extension.
Put them together and you get a fast, musical, tonally balanced
sonic signature that is free of fatigue due to over bright or
harsh, thin highs.
Yes, the "timing" is right!
This is a cable that retains the speed of its inner silver.
both the positive and negative conductors are made of this
wonderful wire so that the sense of presence and background are
well matched for fatigue free listening.

Notes From the Bench
RCAs:
both of the RCA Males chosen for all of my cables are a
solderless design.
The conductors go deep into the positive pin and are then clamped
in place by a screw. This screw is made of the same conductive
material so there is no loss of continuity or delays even at that
smallest, yet critical contact point.
This provides a clearer sound, than going through a solder of
lesser metals. (Because of this, you can't take these cables to
the final degree of abuse that some cables can withstand.)
Both of the RCAs" chosen are made of the High Conductivity Copper;
which as a purer copper exceeds the speed and clarity of previous
copper.
In the upgraded version, I choose The Xhadow solderless RCAs which
are silver plated to add just the slightest bit of "tingle" to make
sure that the leading edge of all notes will be as lifelike as only
silver can deliver.
The gap between this leading edge and the rest of the note is no
longer a problem as with previous silver-plated wire or plugs since
the speed of the base metal is so much more than metals used
before.
Notes From the Bench
Have you ever wondered why so many manufacturers are
using brass
RCAs; while claiming to use the purest metals available?
It's so they don't have to spend as much on producing the RCA.
Have you ever wondered what it is doing to the sound?
The sly effect is this;
If you use a "slowing metal" like brass at the end you can get away
with a "thinner" or "more shrill" metal in the conductor.
(That's a double savings for them isn't it?)
But the loss of detail is easily apparent in the comparison.
Also beware of those who say "gold plugs" as that is just a
plating, but hides what is probably a brass as a base metal.

There are things in audio that cannot be explained, but can be
experienced. We are not here to explain the experience, just
replicate it and improve it as often and wherever possible.
We do this joyfully with pride. But we will not try to explain or
debate what science yet cannot.
We don't call this magic or voodoo; it may all be explained one
day. But waiting till then to enjoy the listening experience seems
a waste.
What we've done is to experiment with metals terminations,
hardware, insulations, and configurations; and then, listen to the
results for thousands of hours,
so we may solidly stand behind what we claim and replicate it.
it is through this listening that we attempt to make the most tonally
natural, resolving, and balanced sounding cable possible.
Though it is true we weren't there at the performance, we use a wide range
of music to cross reference the tones and timbres in all ranges of the
sound scape to captivate and delight you; so you can forget that it is
electronically reproduced.
In this way, you can enjoy the reward
of your investment, but also, enjoy your musical experience.

Testimonials:
{testi-01]
I have a primarily Krell system. I have the gold cables. These
cables bring the sound in to the room. They give nice crisp highs.
They allow you to here some really good detail on the high end of
the sound range. They also give good thumping base. I've heard
things with these cables that I haven't heard with other cables.
I have also noticed a difference with the recordings I have done
with these cables.
Don Dunn, Philadelphia
I have been a very satisfied user of Bill's cables for
six years. I use nothing except his products. I have found that his
cables and ICs have more presence and richness than cables I have
purchased at twice the price from other sources. I have never had
a fuller sounding music field. The depth and openness are unsurpassed in
my experience. I
have a $25000 system and I use Bill's cables and interconnects
exclusively.
I have found Bill to be an honest and reputable business person. I would
recommend him to anyone interested in receiving high quality
products.
Sincerely, Gene Baroni. (Philadelphia)
excerpt from email sent to Steve Herblein 6/28/2006-
I have had the "SuperSonic by Awesound" cables in my own system for
about 3 weeks now and the system has never sounded better. These
cables have the most natural instrumental timbre presentation of any
cables that I have ever used in my system. The note decay is also
more realistic than I have heard from other cables - the note just
finishes and drifts off into a velvety black background of silence.
Of course, top to bottom balance is perfectly even and the cables
add an airy and open sound to any system, but one of the other
areas that make these cables so special is the depth of the
sound stage -
once the cables finally break in completely , the rear wall of my
listening room disappeared and I was left with a perfect acoustical
space! I recommend these cables to anyone interested in finding
out just how good their system can sound.

SuperSonic Synergy Interconnect
At Herbie's Audio Lab, we don't believe interconnects should
be used as "tone controls" to tweak a system one way or another.
Herbie's SuperSonic Synergy Interconnect delivers a linear,
full-bodied impact from the very bottom all the way through the highest
frequencies. It's the first and only interconnect we've found at an
affordable price that we would recommend to our customers.
Designed primarily to bring out the best potential of tube gear,
each SuperSonic Synergy Interconnect is hand made for Herbie's Audio Lab
by Bill Ankenbrant, founder of AweSound Audio, who has been making
high-end, hand-wound interconnects since 1988. SuperSonic Synergy
Interconnects are flexible and unshielded, allowing all the
openness and subtle dynamics to pass through unfettered, with a
surprisingly quiet and "black" background.
SuperSonic Synergy Interconnects are made with high-purity, gold-plated
silver. Gold plating eliminates the signature "skin twinge" typical
of silver wire without sacrificing speed and dynamic accuracy.
Engineered to control microphonics, using solderless construction and
cryogenic treatment, these interconnects really deliver the goods.
