The Ruby cable really stands out from the crowd with its ruby red coloured sheath. The new cloth sheath has a superior feel to nylon as well as much higher resistance to static electricity that can taint the sound. It is nice and flexible even though it is has a substantial 13mm outer diameter. There are three 14AWG or 2.5mm²cores of high purity 99.999% OFC electrolytic copper.

Its rugged construction is highlighted in the 100mm protective heat-shrink covers on both ends of the wire as it terminates into the barrel ends. Gold plated pins are used for the AC power plug and is available in a variety of custom lengths and IEC plug tops.

How does it Sound?

The Ruby power cable is very good value for money and has the EGM Audio signature sound of being smooth, detailed and slightly warm. Manufactured to make everything you listen to sound nicer, the Ruby has a slightly forward soundstage, which most prefer, and a well-articulated midrange. There is a nice feeling of space around the instruments, although not as much as the upper-grade models. It isn’t as transparent sounding as the Sapphire.

The bass is punchy and has decent authority, control and depth. In lower resolution systems there is the feeling of having a thicker and richer bass, although in high-resolution systems this can also be heard as a touch of confusion and muddiness that suggests that you move to a higher grade of cable. In testing the Ruby worked equally well with amplifiers and source devices, so it’s quite universal in its abilities.

Extra Information:

What is Cable Burn-in?

All cables and especially highly revealing audio cables require a little time to settle and start performing at their optimum. There are many opinions as to why this well-known phenomenon happens, but we won’t get bore you with it. Although they can often sound good immediately, we recommend that you allow EGM cables at least 48 hrs of constant use before doing any critical listening. This initial period of time will make the largest difference to the sound quality. For the next week or two the cable will continue to improve, but in smaller increments.

A fully burned-in cable will sound smoother and more musical. It will also have better timing, imaging, treble detail, bass power and control as well as being less fatiguing to listen to.

The EGM Family Sound

As is often the case with high-end audio manufacturers, all of the EGM audio grade power cables have a “family sound”. What is it and will it suit you?

EGM audio specialist power cables are designed to sound smooth, articulate, revealing and with just a touch of warmth. You will hear this with all our power cables, from the entry-level through to our flagship. We believe that you should never experience unpleasant surprises when upgrading cables throughout our range. As you spend a little more and move up to the Black Pearl and Emerald range you can expect to hear even more from your music, with more detail, quieter backgrounds and a fuller, richer sound.

EGM audio grade power cables do not sound artificial, overly bright or harmonically out of balance, but have a lovely smooth top to bottom balance and neutrality that we have become well known for.

Why should I use EGM Audio grade power cables?

Many people have asked us what is the difference between EGM Audio cables and the thin moulded cheaply made cable included in the box. It’s the sound quality. Technically both do the job, but only a specialised audio cable allows your audio device to sound the way it was meant to. When you stop to compare the quality of the conductors, the wire diameter and extensive use of electromagnetic and radio-frequency shielding, it’s little wonder that EGM audio grade power cables are superior sounding by a large margin. EGM has spent over 2 years of R&D looking into their new cable range, with extensive listening tests and prototyping so that you can enjoy world-class products at a reasonable price.

EGM is proud that every cable they manufacture uses the same standard of workmanship, the same high grade protective outer sheath, the same 100mm protective heat-shrink covers on both ends of the wires and is hand made by people with years of experience in the audio industry. Every cable is individually tested for quality guarantee. All the cable’s in the range are shielded against destructive EMI/RFI and is available in standard & custom lengths and with a wide variety of International & IEC plug tops to suit almost every audio or AV device.
