What reviewers think
Bloggers and YouTubers have tried this product—so we've summarized their strongest opinions below. Links to full reviews follow.
What are hifi reviews useful for? (1) Identifying products you should demo in person at a dealer. (2) Learning which products reviewers unanimously praise as the best they've heard (this means they probably are legitimately great). (3) Identifying a product's attributes that satisfy your idiosyncratic needs and tastes. Beyond that, we often discount what reviewers say because they heap praise on most products—and are often apprehensive about publishing strong criticism or comparisons between products. Further, they seldom have more than a few products on-hand, often relying on their memories to compare past products. Always listen for yourself.

SUPER Balanced Interconnects work well with other REALISTIC Companions to provide more refined, powerful, and deeper music foundation and greater dynamics and space for a closer connection to music.
Like other fully balanced components, Balanced SUPER has 2 discrete network paths for each channel - one for each signal carrying conductor. Its dual grounding system and networks help to control noise and interference, thus transferring music more efficiently at all audio frequencies. High quality XLR connectors with gold-plated contacts transfer power effortlessly through precision-wound OFHC stranding.
Balanced SUPER captures more of the warmth, weight, dynamics, and nuance of the music than typical balanced cables can, with better image focus, soundstage presentation, and deeper, more defined low frequencies. With its tighter-tolerance parts and construction, Balanced SUPER is handcrafted in the USA and delivers even more dynamic authority and micro detail than Balanced PLUS. SUPER is upgradeable to ULTRA level or above.
