This is a cable with an interesting build: thick but very supple and also a lot lighter than it appears to be. The conductors are braided in a counter-rotating geometry, around what seems to be an air tube core, then surrounded by what seems to be light rubber, most likely for damping purposes. It does look impressive indeed.
Soundwise, connected to a Wadia 861 CD player, the cable is very different to what you might expect: articulate and precise but a bit thin in the bass and lacking some body and harmonic fullness that many other cables do offer. Shunyata cables are advertised as excelling in micro dynamic contrasts but I did not find it exceptional in this area. Surprisingly, soundstaging and focus were not particularly strong points either. The cable was however very precise and fast in the bass, having absolutely no overhang.
A neutral, precise sounding cable if somewhat restrained in some areas.
