Phantom speaker cable

Posted by: Marksnaim on 29 March 2018

Seeing as Witch Hat are going to be charging VAT after Easter I've taken the plunge and ordered three 4 meter pairs of Phantom speaker cable for my active Isobariks. The money back if not satisfied guarantee makes this a fairly safe gamble. They should arrive around the middle of April so I'm looking forward to see what they can do. At the moment I have a mix of NACA5 and WH N2 which surely isn't ideal. Although the system sounds amazing all the same.

Will let you know my thoughts when they've arrived and had a chance to burn in. In the mean time has anyone else tried them and if so what are your impressions.

I have had the Phantom cable installed since NYE, I can honestly say they were a BIG step up from the TQ Blacks they replaced. Burn in took a while but once they they had, Oh my days their good. Enjoy them, I doubt they will be going back.

That’s encouraging. And they are cheaper than TQB aren’t they? Nice bonus.

I am looking forward to hearing how they work with your system, it's quite a set up.

I have Phantom and use TQB upstairs

Both very good cables indeed

I will need matching interconnects before making statements any further

just done the same. Two runs for my Active SBL’s. Moving from NACA5. Very interested in how good they could be for the money.

Can wait to try mine! Ordered them a month ago but the whole system sits in boxes waiting for a house move.

It would definitely very interesting to have a comparison between naca 5/ hiline, and Watchmen hat phantom/ hatpin.
