Hi-fi furniture specialist Atacama expands into high-end cables

British engineering company Atacama Audio has won several What Hi-Fi? Awards over the years for its hi-fi racks and speaker stands - and now it’s expanding into cables.

Atacama was the official UK distributor for cable company Nordost for over 9 years, and apparently it learned a thing or two about cables in that time!

The Spirit (£180-£320) is the entry-level model with silicone insulation and a pure silver-plated fuse. The Verve (£470-700) builds on that specification with a double silver-plated fuse and premium plug, while the Imperium (£950-1300) uses a double silver-plated fuse that has been cryogenically treated, as well as a Furutech connector.
