Live at Positive Feedback Online! The Tempo Electric Aurum Ag Big Twist Interconnects

09-16-2012 | By Jeff Day |

The Tempo Electric Aurum Ag Big Twist interconnects review just went live at Positive Feedback Online here.  Here's a snippet from the review:

"The Aurum Ag Big Twist interconnects are a purist design incorporating 28 gauge 24-Carat gold signal wire and 4N 30 gauge silver wire for the return. They're wrapped in 8 gauge Teflon tubing that is intended to mimic an air dielectric, and then they're twisted to aid with noise rejection. They're terminated with ultra-quality WBT RCAs. The 1-meter long Aurum AG Big Twist 28 gauge interconnects terminated with WBT-0102Ag NextGen locking RCA plugs that I have in for review sell for $656 USD. Not bad when you consider that the WBT RCAs alone retail for $348 USD for a set of 4."

For this review I used the Tannoy Kingdom Royal loudspeakers and the ASR Audiosysteme Emitter II Exclusive Version Blue four-chassis integrated amplifier to gather listening impressions.

Review snippet:

"First of all, it's obvious to me that after listening to the Tempo Electric Aurum Ag Big Twist (hereafter "the Aurum") in my Hi-Fi on a lot of different music that it is truly a world class interconnect, both musically and sonically. In very general descriptive terms, the Aurum provided a big, rich, smooth, colorful, and life-like presentation of the music that was infused with natural warmth and emotion."

The gold wire really adds some interesting aspects to the sound qualities of this interconnect, particularly in the realm of the sense of recorded space, for which it has no peer that I am aware of.

Here's a snippet from the review:

"I suspect the Aurum's prowess for recorded space is due to the influence of the gold conductor, which seems to have much the same sort of effect on increasing the sense of recorded space as adding a sub-woofer does (albeit without adding the additional bass extension). I found this to be one of the most intriguing aspects of the Aurum in day-to-day use."

Another snippet from the review:

"There are a number of key words that come to mind when I think about the Aurum: Big, rich, natural, warm, colorful, musical, life-like, and spacious. The Aurum has a 'there is here' style of presentation, as discussed above. I think the Aurum is perfect for lean-to-neutral systems that need a touch more of humanity, color, and life in their presentations, or for anyone who craves more of those qualities in their listening experience. I also think the Aurum is perfect for those who listen to a wide spectrum of music of varying recording quality, and I think it will extract the most music from the most records without compromised sonics becoming a distraction. On a sonics-musicality spectrum, the sonics are very good, but the overall presentation tips over to the musicality side of the spectrum. The Aurum is a great sounding pair of interconnects with exceptional musicality, and I think music lovers will find a lot to like about the Aurum with its nice balance of sonics & musicality."
