Why you can trust What Hi-Fi?
Part of a new budget range and retailing at a wallet-friendly £25, Clearer Audio’s Copper-line Alpha One mains cable follows in the footsteps of its more expensive Alpha branded siblings in both styling and performance.
In use, we found the Copper-line Alpha One collaborated with our system helping it gain dynamics and flair where needed.
Bass gains both clarity and depth here, while we found that detailing was improved too.
At this price there’s very little not to like, and those with kit under the £500 bracket are recommended to seek out this small but potent upgrade.
