This ad is for one set of Inakustik LS-4004 Air speaker
cables in 2.5 length (spade to spade). This is the same model of cable I use on
personal reference system.

If you look at the technology and build quality behind this Inakustik
LS-4004 Air cable it will become very clear that this is not just another
speaker cable. Inakustik has sold over 15 million cables worldwide with zero of
their Reference cables on the used market.

Technical
information

With the Reference LS-4004 speaker cable, we continue the
incredible story of their Air Helix technology: To achieve perfect air
insulation, the new cable uses no less than 16 Cross Link Super Speed
waveguides (rather than eight as with the Reference Air Helix LS 2404).
Obviously, the individual conductors themselves play a key role, too. With the
LS-4004, too, these are made of 24 high-purity copper wires, each with a
razor-thin lacquer coating for extra insulation and braided around a PE core.
This design considerably increases stability inside the waveguide by effectively
preventing the formation of eddy currents. (These are caused by the very high
currents transmitted on the speaker cables - actually the highest ones within
the entire audio path.)

Air Helix Structure

In addition, a new clip capable of carrying the increased
load of the updated design had to be constructed. This clip not only must bear
the surplus weight of the conductors but also needs to ensure flexibility
throughout the cable structure. Just like its smaller predecessor, the new clip
suspends the helical conductor arrangement freely in the air while keeping the
individual conductors at an exact distance throughout the cable. The clips are
meticulously assembled by hand at the on-site at our factory in Germany and
then threaded into the Cross Link Super Speed waveguide. Finally, the resulting
Air Helix receives a highly protective PE network jacket.

 A rock-solid construction

Between the aluminum splitter and the connectors of the
LS-4004, we have implemented ultra flexible parts molded from a special elastomeric.
These parts are fixed inside the splitter using a specifically designed plastic
plug, thus ensuring maximum cable flexibility even in the connector region.
Those molded parts extend to the connector front and enclose the inner
connector components, thus emphasizing the plain yet charming appearance of the
LS-4004. The aluminum splitters are screwed tightly with the first clip in the
cable. In summary, this creates a visually appealing and mechanically reliable
design - consistent from the connectors on the amplifier side to their
counterparts on the speaker side. Using a complex technique, a custom-made
machine strips the highly pure Cross Link Super Speed waveguide copper wires
from their lacquer coating. Afterwards, the bare wires are bundled up and
driven into the connectors. This procedure prevents the occurrence of contact
resistances typical of the use of additional materials such as solder or wire
end sleeves.

Applied physics

Any extra material used on a cable (e.g. PVC insulation)
causes a degradation of its electrical properties - this is just applied
physics. Therefore, Reference cables feature a PE network jacket implemented
using complex techniques. Consequently, the cables are made of just two
materials: copper and PE. The LS-4004 AIR is a perfect example of a
low-inductance speaker cable: The double-layer multicore design leads to a
neutralization of overlapping magnetic fields around the individual conductors.
This considerably reduces cable inductance, ensuring that all frequencies are
transmitted freely and without any latency. Plus a full range of connector
options offers maximum flexibility.

The connectors

We have opted for tellurium copper as the plug base material
rather than brass. This is because tellurium copper offers twice the
conductivity. Each plug comprises a basic terminal with a spade or BFA banana
adapter laterally threaded to it. This connector design provides maximum
flexibility with regard to adjusting the angle between the cable and the
connector and also mitigates the effects of mechanical forces acting on both
the cable and the connector including their contact interfaces. The connector
surfaces are rhodium-coated because this extremely robust material ensures
optimum contact even after many mating cycles.

Robert,

 

I had a very good experience with
the Inakustik LS-1603 speaker cables last month and was sort of skeptical about
testing the LS-4004. How could it be way better...

So I let the 4004 cables cook for
36 continuous hours before any listening. Then...

I decided to make it difficult on
Inakustik and made my first comparison with the best cable I had, the Stealth
Dream that I am selling for a friend. It has a very good reputation and
sells for 18000$ CAD.

 

You know how strict  my
listening comparison protocol is. Same for known track and unknown. I know
my worst enemy is myself and as any human, hoping reality will match
expectation so beware, always beware of yourself. 

 

So I start with very difficult
track of Verdi Requiem with  full orchestra choral and soloist.  I
listen to this 4 minute track 3 times to be sure I know it in a very
comfortable margin, meaning that 4th listening time does not bring any
surprises. Then and only then I switch cables. It takes less than one minute to
swap out cables and when I return  to my chair, I wait about one minute so
my activity level settles down. Push play button....

 

A new recording literally. Depth,
definition, dynamic, harmonic density. It is like following and
understanding or adding a lot more instruments and choirs. It mean soloist
can now be followed and more...understood. The other Stealth Dream cable
was in comparison flat, boring and lacked information.

 

The difference is so striking that
even on simple music like a violin duo, the gap is maintained. Both violins now
have their own personality and space. Amazing!

 

So I kept doing this, same test
same protocol with many tracks with the same conclusion. It is hard to explain
but generally when listening to songs, attention is naturally focused on the
singer and we follow the singer and simple awareness with accompanied
instruments. With the 4004, the relationship between singer and
instruments is totally different. Each is totally free to express
themselves and the listener can now freely dance between whatever he or she
wants to pay attention to. It also mean that you hear much more detail and
I would say lot more small nuances than ever before. Indeed backup vocals
now have their own space and time...

 

I still have not listened with
analog source: Kronos Pro, Black Beauty arm, ZXT Omega Premium.  I will
keep you posted.

 

Robert, I have only used my
reference 2 way monitor speakers to do these test but the electronics ( Tenor
350M 240V 130000$, Tenor line 126500$ and phono preamp 61500$) and digital
source with Inakustik NF-2404 interconnects are I think able to show the total
potential of these cables.

And what potential!

 

I am in a way surprised and
disturbed because Stealth cables were so expensive but so deeply happy to be
able to own the Inakustik LS-4004 speaker cables; my new reference cables.
Thanks for this discovery and I call them 4004 Wonders.

Let touch base on these Inakustik LS 4004 AIR, The only thing I can say is " WOW "
If you love BASS this cable will toss your Subwoofer to the window, the
details, sound stage, deep deep bass and 3D imaging spot on. please
note, this cable haven't break in yet just came out from the box in cold
weather and plug in. I don't know how much better after 100hrs of
playing time, The answer is ONLY GET BETTER!

Andrew (4004 model)

These cables really maintain a system’s potential for imaging they have great separation and air
and a very high level of transparency so you can see deep into the soundstage.
This transparency reveals a great sense of depth and detail while maintaining a sense of ease
and an overall organic sound with very accurate tone.
Easy to listen for hours on end to but never soft everything just sounds right.
Sold my Synergistic Research cables after listening to these my new reference IC.

I'll
follow up with you later but Holy Crap Batman! Wanna buy a nice set of
Echloe's? Clean one owner! Thank you sir. I was blown away last night
about an hour after putting them in the system. Do the IC's do the same
thing? Thank you sir. I'm so glad I called.
