I recently got a 4-plugs pack of new, improved, top-of-the-line KLEI "Pure Harmony" RCA plugs from KL Eichmann, the patron and visionary mind behind these... these... incredibly transparent, superbly sounding RCAs, the foundation for a cost-no-object, standard defining cable.
If your machism asks for bullion-like milled from the solid one zillion-costing RCAs, you'd better stop reading...
The Pure Harmony is unassuming black, light as a feather, and friendly priced.
It's so humble in appearance that KL - in a world so polluted by hypes - is apparently sort-of self understating his own achievment... something an humble and kind person, honestly doing his business does, sometimes... yet, after listening for three hours to the usual Litz 50 cm, hand-twisted and hand-soldered by my pal Lo exactly as he did with the cables of last survey, some months ago, well... I should be prepared to this, but... the shock is strong, folks!
KL states 200 hours brunring, breaking-in process...
Even stronger, if reading the leaflet accompanying the Pure Harmony plugs... NO HYPES... >106 IACS and 100% silver contacts... nothing more, nothing less... no words about the promise of improvement in tone and musical bliss... nothing!
Exaggerating, joking, also if not at all... KL strikes again!
In nature, the most beautiful flower can be an exotic rose or a tiny, miniature little flower, some wild orchids sometimes found in the countryside... the rose shouts "Look a me!""Taste my smell!"...
The little orchid, hidden in the grass, in the shadow is there, and it shines and flashes his beauty and details, the tiny inner world of its petals and the incredible colours only to the curious, fortunate, beauty seeker... someone who's not only attracted by the shooting beauty of the rose, but also walk in the dirt, in rocky paths and believe indestiny and chance... someone who owns the gift of living lightly, con leggerezza, unstressed and unstressing.
When such a perfection, the wild orchid, is found, in the shadow... blincking timidly, well... it's a treasure of inestimable value, priceless and timeless.
Same with Pure Harmony-based Litz wires... its name is poetic and untechnical, like are utterly untechnical his character and virtues: it mades an humble yellow Litz cable sounding like pure harmony... rich in tone, effortless, smooth and sharp as a razor, zest and quick like a musical instrument is... I listened again to some ECM and some Giancarlo Barigozzi's recordings on Soul Note (Italy) disks: female voice, piano... PIANO!!!, double-bass, recording venue halos, notes decay... all is greatly improved in such a relaxed way, so naturally.
Music blossoms in a seldom heard form.
It's the wild orchid blinking in the tall grass, folks...
You know: I walk for the sake of walking, I listen for the sake of music... no prize at the end of the path, BUT bliss... immaterial like love and music are.
Pure harmony... PURE HARMONY by KL (KLEI)... with a little help from my friend Lo, of course;-)
