Absolue Créations TIM-Essentiel
RCA interconnect cable manufactured in France by Absolue Créations, with ultra-pure copper conductors and Furutech connectors, for lovers of natural musicality.
Description
The TIM-Essentiel is an RCA interconnect cable designed and manufactured in France by Absolue Créations, intended to connect the components of a hi-fi system or home cinema set-up. It continues the brand's ES-TIM range, with an approach centred on preserving the original audio signal.
The conductors are made from ultra-pure, oxygen-free copper, cold-tinned, a process that limits alteration of the metal during manufacture. Each conductor is connected to its connector without soldering, a method intended to avoid altering the electrical properties specific to each metal used. The plugs are genuine Furutech, a manufacturer recognised for its audio connectors. This construction aims to offer a wide soundstage, distinct timbres and a naturally perceived dynamic.
This cable is aimed at audiophiles wishing to take care over the link between their sources and their amplification, as well as home cinema installations requiring significant lengths, since it is offered individually and in long lengths for this type of use.

What to check before buying used
On an interconnect cable, attention should focus mainly on the RCA plugs: check that the Furutech connectors show no play, no trace of oxidation, and no bent or loose pins, all of which can cause hum, buzz or signal dropout. Also inspect the sheath along its entire length, looking for excessive twisting or a nick that could weaken the shielding and let in interference. A firm contact and secure fit in the sockets remain the best indicators of a still-reliable unit.
