Knut P Skogrand of Skogrand Cables applies a unique approach to the world of cable making. It should actually be said that cable craft such as this is more like making Japanese Katana swords with the old skills but new technology applied creating something beyond what we currently label as a “quality” by current high-end standards.
As with the sword crafted by a true master these cables have their silk fabric outer coats and insignia belonging to an almost ritualistically-derived creation. This is art and technology and infused throughout with passion and an obsession for the best.
But do they sound sharp as a sword? No, they cut through your senses in a painless and invisible way as through the air. They are the air itself as they simply act like they do not exist, having almost no audible signature. The only trace of their existence comes from your eyes, as you can still see them even though your brain screams that there must be nothing there. Their physical beauty is hard to resist, but this is just a final twist to this artisan act. What is truly important remains invisible. What is audible comes to the fore, as it should be.
And what is audible is simply breathtaking. With their Haiku feeling it is a surprise that these products actually come from the snowy Norwegian mountains, not from the Cherry-blossoming Japanese gardens.
The result of an audition is like being hit by Thor’s Hammer. Knut Skogrand, the brainchild behind this art is a gentleman with huge presence and being a musician himself he knows what he is looking for in sound whilst he utilises his alchemist skills to transform metals, fabrics, wood and air into something beyond gold. Whoever has tried these cables has come back with a sense of wonder. Certainly we must say that we have to agree.
Our cables have proven their unmatched performance both in-house through testing and with reviewers and clients worldwide. Their ability to deliver is enjoyed in a great variety of setups including tubes, solid-state, speakers of all designs and sizes, in digital PC driven environments as well as fully analog dedicated vinyl settings.
Our product's signature trait is to let any system perform at its full potential interfering to the least degree possible. That is reflected in our outspoken design ideal which is to liberate the true sound of every system connected with Skogrand Cables - standing aside to let through. If you are looking for cables to add color or flavor to your system’s signature sound then our cables is not your best bet. If you on the other hand desire a reference cable to last you a lifetime of component upgrades, that will enable you to focus on the true ability of your setup, then Skogrand cables are the only real alternative in today’s market - preserving the signal most completely, delivering it faster more effectively.
