I did not see or hear this coming. Jim Wang, CEO of HT, took me aside at a recent LA Audio Society event and whispered, "We have new improved CyberLights, and we will call them Photon Cables from now on. They are much better sounding, and it has taken us four years to perfect them. You want to review them?" Mrs. Levi didn't raise any dumb son... you bet I said I'd review them!

...This is what I believe I hear quite dramatically in these new Photon fiber-optic cables. The sound of no cable at all is now MORE evident. There is an openness and linearity, which are stellar in their evenness and harmonic truthfulness. I hear no obvious coloration added or subtracted. There are no bumps or lumps in the spectrum to report. Depth is improved and now equals the best cables I had in house to try or had any recent experience with. The bass is deeper and more robust. Definition is tanatlizingly close to the state-of-the-art. Imaging just might be state-of-the-art. The mids are realistic and supremely neutral. The highs are delicate and seductive. I am almost speechless and that's just not usually the case, folks. An audiophile once said cables are components, too. The Photon's prove it!

Yes, the Photon's still need a battery pack, but it's a set and forget thing and the cables stay on at all times. They need no break-in, but sound their best after they are on about three days. They morph from sounding like great metal interconnects on power up to nothing at all. These are the Seinfeld of interconnects …they are about nothing!
