Xindak is a Chinese company that has been manufacturing high quality audio components, cables, and even loudspeakers since 1988, but only recently have they began entering the U.S. audio market. I'm not sure why they chose now to do it, but I am glad they finally took the plunge. I had heard positive reports about the new Xindak SACD tube output player, but I had not heard anything about their other product offerings. Frankly, I didn't even realize that Xindak there were any other product offerings until I visited a friend of mine, Fred Nadel of Pureaudio (http://www.pureaudio.net) in Scotts Valley, CA. Fred asked me if I wanted to demo some high performance speaker cables that were new to the United States. Does a baby like candy? How could I say no? That day he sent me home with a three-meter pair of the Xindak FS-01 speaker cables. I have yet to unhook them from my system.

Summary

There is an unwritten rule in audio that to get reference audio components, a person has to spend megabucks. Many audiophiles will deny this rule, but they forget that reference means a product designed without compromises. Someone forgot to inform Xindak of this rule. Maybe it just does not translate well into Mandarin? I am not going to say these are the best speaker cables ever made. I cannot make this determination. However, these Xindak FS-01 speaker cables are hands down the most musical, transparent, and just plain tonally correct speaker cables I have ever had in my system. If Xindak made any compromises in designing this cable, I cannot hear them. I am judging these speaker cables in the sub $1000 speaker cable class. In this area, these speaker cables have no peer that I know of. Are they reference? Are they without compromise? Quite possibly, but careful listeners will need to make that determination for themselves. I strongly recommend anyone demo these cables before buying new speaker cables-no matter what your working budget is. The Xindak FS-01 could save you a lot of money, or they may just entice you to spend a little more to get better transparency than other cables anywhere near their price point. Nevertheless, these speaker cables may not work in every system due to their extreme transparency. These speaker cables will brutally reveal any system's sonic problems in the musical presentation. In the end these cables have revealed to me the sound of the upstream components of my system to a degree I did not think possible for a speaker cable in this sub $1000 price range. These Xindak FS-01 speaker cables make me want to upgrade all of my sources. When will this madness end? I do, oh so love this madness…
