The construction and materials of the cable seem to be of the highest quality. The cable needs at least forty hours of "break-in," after which the sound of the system improves both as bass and treble definition with greater "silkiness." Excellent shipping time and packaging, upon registration the product enjoys a lifetime warranty.
For someone who doesn't know any better, the change with the old Hi-Fi wires made itself felt! And what a satisfaction it was.
Cable of excellent workmanship and consistency with a very good quality/price ratio, in my opinion also improved the sound performance of the speakers in my possession, compared to the cables adopted previously, also of quality ... but with these I notice a noticeable improvement.
I appreciate Ricable for the quality of its cables, so I confidently purchased these spikes for my Tannoy Revolution speakers to rest on a 12-cm beola shelf. I used three per speaker, attaching them with a small screw to the bottom of the speakers. I was not disappointed: the sound gained more detail and, to my taste, sounds better when listening.
I gave this rating because the material arrived twenty-four hours after the order was placed, so well in advance of the estimate. These spikes are really well built, nice polished steel and look perfect, just what was needed for my tower speakers. Very careful packaging, undamaged packages; kudos to the seller. Truly satisfied.
I decided to purchase this Ricable cable trusting previous reviews. I was surprised by the quality of the cable itself, although to connect speaker and amplifier I also purchased banana plugs in order not to see the cable oxidize over time. The cable itself is thick and flexible. The quality is noticeable from the first contact and the customer service is accurate and timely. When I need new speaker cables I will rely on Ricable. In addition, the product is totally Made in Italy!
Excellent item of good workmanship and beautiful to look at, sounds really very good. On-time delivery in beautiful, elegant packaging.
Sturdy cable, not very flexible because of the size of the conductors (4 mm), very good quality, used to build power cords for the components of my Hi-Fi system. Once the given cables were replaced in the various components of the system (CD player, preamplifier and amplifier) a difference in the sound was immediately noticed. This was smoother, the soundstage sharper, the instruments better defined and spaced in the stage. I must say that I was very positively struck by the leap in quality of the system itself precisely because of this power cord.
Very well made cable, clean and detailed sound, delivery on time as always. Excellent cable well made and well sounding. Recommended. Attractive price/quality ratio. Connected to Furutech pure copper sockets. Sounds better than other much more expensive cables.

How to build a Hi-Fi power cable? New Ricable video guide
How to build a Hi-Fi power cable? After the tutorials on how to build a cable Speaker e a signal one, here we come to show you how to assemble a Hi-Fi power cable entirely on your own. With this latest video tutorial, divided into two parts and available on the Ricable YouTube channel, we thus cover the request of the majority of DIYers and audiophiles, that is, those who, at least in structure, have a "simple" system, thus consisting of source, amplifier and speakers.
Cleaning and welding
The first video on how to build a Hi-Fi power cable focuses on cleaning and soldering the cable. We remove a piece of sheathing and peel off the braid. We now remove the cotton cord insulation and the aluminum foil covering the conductors. We can now strip the conductors, cutting the dielectric. We wrap the red and white conductors onto themselves, while the green conductor we wrap together with the ground wire. Thanks to this configuration, the captured interference will flow into the grounding of the electrical system. Now we can move on to soldering the conductors. Finally, we cut a piece of heat shrink tubing to the size of the conductor and heat it on the green wire.
Connections
The second part of the guide focuses on connections. First, we also clean the cable at the other end; here we will apply the IEC connector. At the side with the ground joined to the shield we will install the Schuko socket. We unscrew the shell and remove the rubber gasket. After other preliminary operations, our connector is ready. For convenience we run the shell through the cable and later strip the conductors. Now we install the IEC socket following the directions: line, neutral and ground. We bring the shell to the connector and tighten all the screws. On the other side we install the Schuko, paying attention to each conductor. We finally tighten the shell with all the screws.
Here is our power cord
After having made a Speaker cable and a signal cable, today we have completed our very personal "trilogy" with the power cable. Be sure to click on the button below, thanks to which you will be immediately catapulted to the Ricable YouTube channel. By selecting the button further down, however, you can take a quick look at the entire catalog Ricable Custom.
How to build a Hi-Fi signal cable? New Ricable playlist available
How to build a Hi-Fi signal cable? The video content available on the Ricable YouTube channel is constantly increasing, and the last two videos posted are dedicated to building a DIY Hi-Fi signal cable. After showing you through and through how to build a cable Speaker, today we publish an article that collects video tutorials about assembling a signal cable, also one of the cable types that is in vogue.
Cleaning and welding
The first video on how to build a Hi-Fi signal cable focuses on cleaning and soldering the cable itself. We then begin by removing PVC and shielding. After that we need to cut out the polyethylene tubes, being careful not to cut away the conductors. The last components to be removed are the silicone semiconductors that cover the dielectrics. We continue the operation by stripping the conductors and, after a series of other operations shown in the video, we repeat what we did on the other side of the cable, with the difference that this time we will not keep any part of the braid. This is just one type of the possible configurations: the semi-balanced one.
Connections
The second installment of the Ricable Custom series on signal cables focuses on connections. Before proceeding with the connectors, however, it is necessary to string the cable, in the exact same manner as the Speaker cable in the first series. We prepare the connector for proper installation. We now insert our cable by bringing the red conductor inside the tray, making sure to bring the cable all the way down. We bring the ground wire between the two loops; the transition is identical for each connector to be installed. Now it is time to solder the conductor. Having finished the procedure following the tips and directions suggested in the video, we complete the cable by screwing the shells onto the two connectors.
Here is our signal cable
After having made a cable Speaker, today we can say that we have also made a signal cable. We look forward to the next tutorial, which will focus on building a power cable, on the Ricable YouTube channel, which can be easily reached by clicking on the button below. By selecting the button further down, however, you can take a quick look at the entire catalog Ricable Custom.
How to build a Speaker Hi-Fi cable? Ricable video tutorial available on YouTube
How to build a Speaker Hi-Fi cable? Subscribers to our newsletter may have noticed that for some time now Ricable has begun posting on YouTube video content. Regarding the brand Ricable Custom, the videos mainly consist of step-by-step tutorials you can follow to build the Hi-Fi cable you want at home. Filled with tips and warnings, we are sure they will be a great resource for newbies as well as a pleasant review for veterans. The first playlist of videos, already fully posted, is the one devoted to Speaker cables or speaker cables.
Cable cleaning
The first video about how to build a Hi-Fi speaker cable Speaker is dedicated to cleaning it (in this case we are talking about the cable Custom Speaker H6S). Before moving on to the full-fledged assembly phase, in fact, we will have to carry out a series of preliminary operations, aimed mainly at removing superfluous components to leave the conductors "free". This is an important step and one that should not be underestimated, having to pay attention to what is done with the tinned copper braid and nonwoven fabric. Finally, care must be taken in removing the PVC insulating tubing, not to be confused with the black conductor. With that done, one must move on to cable stringing.
Tamping
The second episode of the Ricable Custom series on cables Speaker focuses on cable pressing. The socks we will use, taken directly from the Custom catalog, are double polyethylene, traced and spun. With these we have to pay proper attention when we get to the cable, so as not to push or pull the sock and thus ruin it. In this regard, the correct technique to use is the "worm movement," which is well illustrated in the video shown here. To finish the cable pressing operation, we will use a thermal blade by cutting along the edge of the insulation tape, applied earlier to hold the mark. We can then proceed to the third and final step.
Finishes and connections
All that remains is to move on to the third and final phase of the video tutorial, focusing on finishes and connections. The first finish applied is the "Y" shaped rubber sleeve, which is useful to protect and stabilize the conductors. For the second finish, it is good to use a heat shrink sleeve that will block the sleeve. Finally we complete the work with a heat gun, without exaggerating with the temperature to avoid causing damage, and a cable stripper to remove a part of dielectric; after that we can apply our banana connections. Alternatively, we can use a different termination, namely the fork, this one, however, not currently in our catalog.
Here is our cable Speaker
Our Hi-Fi speaker cable is finally ready for use. It only remains for us to wish you good listening with your latest realization and to invite you to follow the upcoming productions that will be posted on the Ricable YouTube channel, which can be easily reached by clicking on the button below.

Heat shrink tubing Ricable Custom now available
Another piece is added to the mosaic Ricable. We are talking about the heat shrink sleeves Ricable Custom, which also find application in the Hi-Fi field and are distinguished, in full Ricable tradition, by a higher quality than normal.
Heat shrink tubing for Hi-Fi cables. Where and how are they used?
Why use a heat shrink sleeve and in what context to do so? The areas can be reduced to three if we are talking about Hi-Fi, thus excluding its normal use with electrical cables:
- Identification
- Insulation
- Finishing
Let's take a step-by-step look at its meaning. Let us preface this by saying that the area of reference is always that of wiring (both that which connects the electronics and that which consists of the cables that connect the components of the electronics themselves). By identification we mean a use of sheathing that involves sheathing different cables with different colors so that they can be distinguished at a glance, especially when we are about to build cables with anonymous connectors-think of the distinction between "left" and "right" within a signal cable. Insulation is the function of separating one conductor from another within, say, a power cable. With trimming, finally, we think of how a shrink sleeve can be an absolute aesthetic plus for our DIY Hi-Fi cables, so as to finish a product "of a certain type."
Regarding the application of heat shrink tubing in a practical sense, it is very simple. Having taken all the necessary measurements (i.e., those of the diameter of the cable and the relative sheathing), it will only be necessary to slide the sheathing over the junction point you intend to insulate. At this point it will be a matter of heating the sheath with the heat gun with temperature from 84 to 120 °C, until it shrinks and forms a tight winding around the junction.
Heat shrink tubing of all sizes, with superior quality
Shrink sleeves Ricable Custom offer wide choice in both form and substance. The first differentiation is that they come in shrink ratios of both 2:1 (thus 50 percent) and 3:1 (about 66 percent). In addition, all major requirements in terms of size are covered. They range from 1 mm internal diameter of the phono cable of the turntable to 30 mm of the Speaker and power cables in the case of the 2:1 conduits.
In the case of the 3:1 ones, the sizes range from 3 mm to 39 mm. What is the parameter that at the level of heat shrink sleeves distinguishes the poor one from the quality one? In the case of the conduits Ricable Custom is the material from which they are made. It is, specifically, high-quality cross-linked polyolefin. This feels rubbery, not "plastic," to the touch, and provides superior flexibility, especially if we are talking about the conduits with a 2:1 shrinkage ratio. Alongside these two features are other advantages typical of premium products, such as excellent resistance to abrasion, corrosion and burns, as well as CE, RoHS, UL, SGS and FCC certificates.
Heat shrink tubing Ricable Custom: where to buy it?
At the best price and with as many benefits as possible, the answer is: Ricable Custom. Last but not least: 3:1 ratio heat shrinkable conduits come only in black coloring, those with 2:1 shrink ratio offer a few more solutions. Those who like to wire in style can also choose the red and white ones. Especially the latter is perfect should you need to note something on it with a marker.
