"The differences wrought in my system by the addition of the Analysis Plus Silver Oval cables and interconnects are positive, dramatic and immediately apparent -- quite an achievement when you stop to consider that I already use a reference-caliber product ..."
"The AP produced, to my amazement, greater inner detail as a direct result of its more natural, thus superior, dimensionality. The sound of Hargrove's muted trumpet -- rather its intricacies -- the sound of air moving through the horn gave it greater presence and spatial localization. The same is true of Keith Jarrett. Here, with Jack DeJohnette's delicate
cymbal work, the initial snap and resonance from Gary Peacock's double bass, could not better illustrate these cables' superiority. I can't recommend the Analysis Plus Silver Oval more highly."
"The Analysis Plus Silver Oval makes my system sound more real. These cables have taken my system closer to the Absolute Sound."

"The Oval Nine cable is so good and so inexpensive that it really deserves, and gets, a solo review. The big-buck cable boys are going to have a COW over this one."
"Oh, heck, you get the picture -- we seldom get true balance and superb performance in each major category: bass, midrange, treble dynamics, soundstaging. This cable is very
good to superb in each of these categories and as is so often the case in audio, the whole exceeds the sum of the parts. Taken as a totality, this is the best cable I have yet auditioned in my system."

"In my humble yet resolute opinion, these cables are a value like no other"…
"Analysis Plus Oval-12 speaker cable."
"Price: Very affordable"
"Real World index: Definitely high"
"Real World Performance Level: Stellar"
…"What the Oval-12s did to distinguish themselves, however, was to allow my gear to
demonstrate the important aspects of music reproduction in a way that speaker cables before them did not. Listening to the Oval-12, I realized that my system always had the potential to make more realistic, involving, and emotionally powerful music, but other speaker cables were holding it back, so it seems"…
"…"The Analysis Plus Oval-12 is one of the surest and simplest recommendations I can make. If you are interested in value, without compromising any aspect of performance, check these out. Oh, and be sure to hurry before the guys at Analysis Plus wise up and decide to price these cables for the 'real world'."
