Audio Sonorous |verified| - Pw

We tested the Sonorous against a pure copper cable and a pure silver cable. Here is where it gets interesting.

Unlike pure silver cables that tend to tighten up the sub-bass roll-off, the Sonorous retains the weight of copper. Kick drums have impact, and bass guitars have growl. However, the "silver" element tightens the decay. Result?

For years, the market was saturated with options ranging from cheap copper stock cables to exotic, unobtainium-laced silver wires promising metaphysical improvements. Enter Peter Wong, the mastermind behind PW Audio. Based in Hong Kong, Peter has built a cult following for his handcrafted cables that promise not just aesthetic beauty, but a tangible improvement in sonic performance.

The brand is renowned for its "House Sound." Generally, PW Audio cables are known for adding a sense of "blackness" to the background—deepening the silence between notes—and providing a lush, organic texture to the midrange. The Sonorous is a distinct evolution of this philosophy. While cables like the 1950s are known for a bright, airy treble, and the 1960s for a warm, vintage glow, the Sonorous strikes a fascinating middle ground. It is designed to be the "Goldilocks" cable: detailed, yet never fatiguing; warm, yet never muddy. Kick drums have impact, and bass guitars have growl

Vocals are the star here. The Sonorous pulls male vocals (Johnny Cash, Matt Berninger) slightly forward without making them shouty. For female vocals (Aurora, Joni Mitchell), it adds a layer of air around the note. It is highly resolving—you hear the saliva and breath—but it smooths out the sharp "S" sounds (sibilance).
