For
Solid and detailed sound
Against
A little heavy-handed

Another creepy-crawly-inspired cable from Merlin, and happily this latest Black Widow incarnation spins a suitably enchanting web. With the cable’s help, our reference system delivers a solid, detailed sound, with plenty of bass weight. It doesn’t have the subtlest pair of hands at times, but all told this is a good performer and well worth investigating.
