Read legendary (of Audio and Hifi Sound&Music fame) editor-in-chief Jo Pfeiffer‘s first short review, long version to be published shortly:

AUS DER REDAKTION – NF Connector Voodoo Labs "Carbon Age RCA"

It's an old story that in the world of High Fidelity, new developments constantly emerge aiming to reveal the finest acoustic nuances. Experienced engineers and developers work on it, as well as some supposed eccentrics. My esteemed "mentor" in the journalistic High-Fi realm, Hannes Scholten, founder of Audio (and Video as well as the German stereoplay magazine), once wrote an editorial titled "Take the Eccentrics Seriously." This saying stuck with me, as some seemingly crazy ideas eventually proved to be quite valid. So, before the audiophile community collectively holds its breath, I'd like to emphasize that for a few weeks now, I've been dealing with a new small-signal connector - an NF cable that connects devices like phono stages, D/A converters, CD players, and others to a full or preamplifier, and the latter also gladly to a power amplifier. This cable, called "Carbon Age," is made entirely of the finest carbon strands, allegedly over 600,000 of them. The basic idea is certainly not new. Aalt Jouk van den Hul was probably the first to use carbon as a conductor material for HiFi applications (at least to my knowledge). His first "The First" cable was actually made entirely of carbon, but later van den Hul used metal in so-called hybrid creations for unspecified reasons.

The "Carbon Age," however, dispenses with that. How exactly this works and why no unwanted side effects occurred in all test setups remains top secret for now. However, the extremely low resistance value of the "Carbon Age" of (for carbon!) extremely low 0.63 ohms is indeed no secret. At least not until the patent for Carbon Age is granted. It's already applied for.

It follows the recently tested "Witchcraft" speaker cable/"grid" from the same North German/Danish forge, Voodoo Labs, whose internal resistance is on the edge of measurability.

The acoustic advantage that Carbon Age offers can be outstanding; at least my experiences in my test cases were extremely positive. Personally, I greatly appreciate high-quality streaming, as offered, for example, through Qobuz. In my audio chain, the fantastic Grimm MU 1 receives the digital signal and forwards it for further processing to the digital/analog converter SPL Mercury. The connections to the preamplifier or to the power amplifier are then made using very high-quality cables such as the Fadel Art Coherence or Nobel cables from Audioquest and Co. The result fascinates me every time anew. I really like streaming, but I love playing records. With the Carbon Age between the phono stage (currently SPL Phonos, as will be reported in the next print magazine) and the preamplifier, for example, the Cello Audio Suite or a power amplifier like the Symphonic Line "La Musica Edition," the highly praised analog chain surpasses the digital streaming branch of my configuration. This repeatedly gives me goosebump moments as an old hand when instruments and voices detach themselves from the speakers even at low volume and this small, so uplifting step towards more authenticity promises. However, when I switch to Grimm and Co., the result is great but not so emotionally touching. If I exchange the Carbon Age for a high-quality copper-based connection between the phono stage and the preamp, analog and digital playback get closer: the performance is superb even without Carbon Age, but the big magic unfortunately disappears. In return, the Grimm/SPL combo gains when the Carbon miracle (in this case with a high-quality adapter from XLR to RCA in the signal path) plays its audiophile trumps.

Between preamp and power amp, I wouldn't want to do without CA RCA anyway. Here, the second test specimen has found its ultra-red place of use. If I remove it from the chain, I almost feel like I'm robbing the music of its soul. When Simon Ghraichy plays his Fazioli grand piano on the album "33," I not only recognize the instrument but also the intention of the performer. A single note, a struck string reveals perfect beauty.

Conclusion: The Carbon Age effortlessly reaches the level of the most renowned high-fidelity cables, but unfortunately, the price of the connection also reflects that. Nevertheless, or precisely because of that, I personally stand behind this new development, which, due to the extreme aging resistance of carbon without oxidation effects, in my opinion, will also not make any age-related compromises in quality in the long term.
