This Dutch cable brand has been serving audiophile hi-fi systems for many decades. We test its modern \u2018Classic\u2019.<\/p>\n

Edwin Rynveld, Siltech\u2019s CEO, has been driving the innovation behind this 43-year-old brand since 1992. His willingness to break with convention has informed the design of both Siltech\u2019s amplifiers [HFN Jun \u201913] and, more recently, its loudspeakers but that same fresh approach has always been visible \u2013 and audible \u2013 in its cables. Now divided into three key series \u2013 the Explorer, Classic and Crown \u2013 it\u2019s that middle range, and the Legend in particular, that marks the transition from \u2018monocrystal copper\u2019 to a proprietary silver\/gold alloy, now in its ninth generation (G9). And silver is where Siltech (SILver TECHnologies) likes to hang its metallurgical hat.<\/p>\n

There is some description of the Classic Legend 380L, sold in pre-terminated lengths at \u00a32288\/2m and \u00a32988\/3m, on Siltech\u2019s website. However, arguably the most important feature is overlooked, for this is a genuine single-strand, solid-core cable comprising one 0.7mm2 conductor per signal\/return leg. This is insulated in a tri-layer Teflon\/PEEK\/Teflon dielectric, surrounded by a silver-plated copper braid and then covered in the blue silicone rubber jacket seen in our picture. Each leg is therefore a coax, but the braid screen is \u2018floating\u2019, unterminated at either end.<\/p>\n

SYSTEM MATCHING<\/strong>
The limited cross-sectional conductor area informs the Classic Legend 380L\u2019s not insignificant 78mohm\/m loop resistance, equivalent to a power loss of 0.085dB\/m into 8ohm. A 3m stereo pair will have a 0.235ohm loop resistance which is very close to the output impedance we\u2019ve measured from Naim amps over the years. However, it does rather thwart any advantage offered by those amplifiers boasting a low source impedance, including models as diverse as the Devialet Astra , CH Precision M10 and Arcam SA45. Damping factor will be reduced with these amplifiers while the susceptibility to changes in system response, caused by swings in the speaker load impedance, will marginally increase.<\/p>\n

By contrast, most tube power amps will be relatively unfazed by this extra impedance and may prove a better fit overall. Meanwhile, the geometry of the cable, and Siltech\u2019s choice of high quality dielectrics, confers a usefully low 31pF\/m parallel capacitance allied to a slightly higher 0.9\u03bcH\/m series loop inductance.<\/p>\n

SOLID SILVER<\/strong>
Trialled in the HFN Listening Room [HFN Yearbook \u201925] with a range of power amps and our resident Wilson Alexx Vfx floorstanders, Siltech\u2019s Classic Legend 380L leveraged all the virtues of a \u2018classic\u2019 solid-core cable \u2013 freedom from grit and grain combined with delicious smoothness. The dazzling percussion from Andy Akiho\u2019s Seven Pillars [ARP-0001; 96kHz\/24-bit] was possessed of lightning speed and attack \u2013 the Sandbox Percussion quartet are a test for any hi-fi system \u2013 while simultaneously remaining free of any edginess or glare. The Classic Legend 380L is a foil to the belief that \u2018all silver cables sound bright\u2019.<\/p>\n

Mixed with QSound spatial effects, Roger Waters\u2019 third studio album Amused To Death [Sony 8884309 0552; 192kHz\/24-bit] is nonetheless a tricky recording to fully navigate, but this Siltech cable stepped right through. The distinct vocal layers could be heard sliding over one another, from the background radio broadcast and harmonies at the opening of the title track right through to the emotive conclusion. Here the voice of WW1 veteran Alfred Razzell, taken from a 1991 BBC TV Everyman documentary, ranges far left and far back, dripping with poignancy. If it ever could be said \u2013 this cable is a keeper.<\/p>\n

HI-FI NEWS VERDICT<\/strong>
Siltech\u2019s mid-range Classic Legend 380L speaker cable is the stuff of high-end upgrades, to be sure, but the outlay is tempered by it being best suited to short 2-3m stereo runs. If your system is in need of a velvet-smooth hand on the tiller and, particularly, if you use long interconnects, with power amp(s) located close to the speakers \u2013 as we do in the HFN Reference Listening Room \u2013 then this cable ranks among the few, stand-out \u2018must try\u2019 designs.<\/p>\n
