Hemingway Audio

Can you describe the smell of rose with words exactly? Can you explain the flavor of Apple with words.. exactly? We all know we can’t but we can feel them in the forms of perfumes and additives similar to real ones with the help of technologies. However, they are not the same as original ones. They are only replicas at most. Why? What do we need more? There always have been arguments in high-end audio world about matters quite like these, especially, in the world of cables.

Someone says that great measurement data are

necessary and sufficient condition for cables to

be considered as ideal ones. That statement is totally untrue. Those are necessary, but not sufficient. To ears of many audiophiles’, LPs sound far better than CDs, and much more like real music, though of course, they measure terribly compared to CDs. Tubes have to go too, yet recording studios are full of tube gear—more so today than in decades—still, tube gear measures terribly compared to solid-state. Real music are surely above sums of data measurement.

As for reproducing music industry, technology is

very important for companies like us to develop

‘good to great’ cables for music but that’s not

all. Technology is just like words with numbers. It will make only insufficient replicas of real musical event. To get closer to real vitality, we should adopt keen senses of musical aesthetics with our sensory nerves to the utmost extent. Acquiring musical sound with well balanced dynamics, transparency, texture, harmonics, warmth, detail, vividness, extension in air and phase coherence is quite complicated job to do because “God tunes in detail”.

That’s why it takes so long time for us to produce Hemingway cables. Tuning Procedure may seem to be work of art and it’s not only painstaking work of labor through ‘naked’ ears but also tremendous amount of measurements of data through state-of-the-art equipments of our own.

Technology does matters. The choice of conductors, connectors, sizes, shapes, insulators, strand structures, sheathes, jackets is one thing and RFI & EMI control, dielectric absorption, impedance vs. frequency or linearity with frequency is another for us to consider all the time.

We should keep in mind that cables are the only part in your audio system that can be played as umpire which reveals how other parts decorate the sound at what extent. The process of reading, encoding, decoding, amplifying may color the original signal by its nature.

The system-independent cable which has widest bandwidth should be prepared for reproducing ‘real’ music. That’s the cable’s job.

Hemingway cables are the most complicated and

elaborate cable in the world like living organ so

that they can catch any kind of signal regarding to music itself in detail. Every technology up to date has been considered and Hemingway’s own FMCF (Frequency Modulation Cavity fundamentals) technology has been applied additionally in various ways. All Hemingway cables are made and remade several times until they are finished to reach ultimate sonic neutrality.
