The TIM-Revolution HP cable is particularly revealing on very high-performance systems. The Absolue Créations TIM-Revolution speaker cable favours neutrality and transparency. It does not try to be demonstrative or flamboyant.
TIM-Revolution speaker cable: Design
This speaker cable is made of completely separate conductors for each polarity. Each conductor is made of very high-purity copper. They have a 128 x 0.15 mm multi-strand structure forming a total cross-section of 2.5 mm².
The insulation layers are multiple and used in a rather complex way. The manufacturer uses PTFE, silk, silicone and nylon. After numerous comparative listening sessions and measurements, Absolue Créations selected the most efficient and neutral banana connectors available. Their choice therefore fell on the Japanese FT-212 (R) BFA connectors from Furutech, in Rhodium.
The build quality of the TIM-Revolution speaker cable is beyond criticism. It is quite flexible compared to its competitors, which makes it easy to route behind a Hifi cabinet.
TIM-Revolution speaker cable: Sound
The tonal balance is very linear, without emphasising the bass, midrange or treble. It does not try to "embellish" the musical message but to transmit it with maximum fidelity.
The definition is excellent, revealing micro-information, reverberations and the nuances of recordings, while remaining very natural and refined.
Timbres are one of its strong points. Voices and acoustic instruments retain a great deal of naturalness, texture and accuracy. They are reproduced with striking realism.
The soundstage is wide, deep and well focused, with a stable image and good separation of the various sound planes.
Across the whole spectrum, the dynamics are fast and very nuanced, with no feeling of compression. Dynamic contrasts sound natural rather than spectacular.
There is also a reduction in perceived noise, which contributes to better readability of micro-details.
The TIM-Revolution is a cable that "disappears" and highlights the qualities of your electronics and speakers. If your system is balanced and high-performing, it will let the personality of your electronics and speakers shine through rather than imposing its own. This transparency also means it will not mask the flaws of a system or of mediocre recordings.
The TIM-Revolution is a true high-definition link, capable of conveying every emotion, every subtlety and the full accuracy of timbres.

FAQ: Everything you need to know before buying the Absolue Créations TIM-Revolution speaker cable
What kind of system is this speaker cable intended for?
The TIM-Revolution is designed for very high-performance, well-balanced systems. Its great neutrality and transparency allow it to reveal the qualities of your electronics and speakers, without imposing its own personality. It will perform at its best in a high-level Hifi system where every link in the chain has been carefully chosen.
Will this cable change the sound of my system?
No, and that is precisely its philosophy. The TIM-Revolution does not try to embellish or colour the musical message: its tonal balance is very linear, without emphasising the bass, midrange or treble. You gain in definition, in the naturalness of timbres and in the readability of micro-details, while keeping the sonic signature of your equipment.
What makes its construction stand out?
Each polarity uses completely separate conductors made of high-purity copper, with a 128 x 0.15 mm multi-strand structure and complex insulation combining PTFE, silk, silicone and nylon. The Furutech FT-212 (R) Rhodium BFA connectors were selected after numerous comparative listening sessions. The cable is made in France, and its flexibility makes it easy to route behind a Hifi cabinet.
Which length should I choose for my setup?
The TIM-Revolution is available in several lengths, from 2 x 2.5 m to 2 x 4 m. Choose the shortest length that still allows a comfortable installation, without putting any strain on the connectors. Our team is available if you need advice on the ideal length for your listening room.
