Siltech is proud to announce that the Classic Legend series has been honored with a prestigious Hi-Fi+ Editor’s Choice Award 2026, recognizing its exceptional performance, engineering, and musical integrity.
This award highlights the continued relevance of the Classic Legend series within the high-end audio landscape, proving that true engineering excellence stands the test of time.
Recognised for purity and consistency
In their evaluation, Hi-Fi+ emphasized the remarkable neutrality and consistency of the Classic Legend cables, describing them as:
“In every example we tested, the cables added or subtracted next to nothing to the sound of the equipment, and removed the ‘electronic’ sound between recording and listener to an uncanny level.”
“There’s a purity to the sound that you will struggle to find elsewhere to the same degree.”
This recognition reflects Siltech’s core philosophy: preserving the original signal with absolute integrity, without coloration or compromise.
Engineering at the core
The Classic Legend series is built around Siltech’s G9 silver-gold alloy conductors, representing the ninth generation of metallurgical innovation. These conductors are designed to reduce boundary distortion to just 0.01%, while achieving a purity of 9N.
By introducing traces of gold into the silver structure, micro-cracks formed during solidification are effectively filled, resulting in significantly improved conductivity and lower distortion. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Combined with advanced shielding techniques and Siltech’s proprietary geometry, this results in cables defined by ultra-low distortion, exceptional transparency, and lifelike musicality. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
A legacy of innovation
Since its founding in 1983, Siltech has continuously invested in research into conductors, insulation, and cable construction. The development of the silver-gold alloy remains one of the company’s most significant breakthroughs, forming the foundation of many of its most successful product lines.
The Editor’s Choice Award 2026 reaffirms that the Classic Legend series continues to embody this legacy — delivering performance that remains highly competitive across a wide range of systems and price levels.
