I love a product that goes against the conventional grain. Crystal Cable is one such line. Rather than resembling various species of large rain forest snakes or wearing the garish livery of a jockey at the Breeder’s Cup, Crystal’s cables have veered in the opposite direction. It’s dangerously un-PC to characterize Crystal Cable Piccolo interconnect and speaker cable in gender-specific terms, but there is something almost feminine about their slender profile and jewel-like finish.
