The ESPRIT story began in 1996. That was the year Richard, who had always been passionate about music and hi-fi, started making cables. As is often the case in the audio industry, the cables he was making for himself were good enough to attract 

the interest of a number of enthusiasts. So Richard found himself making cables for friends. Then, one thing led to another and he set up ESPRIT with one goal in mind: 

to make the best cables.

More than 25 years later, the ethos is still the same: select the best materials for each part of each type of cable, then assemble them in the best way possible. Richard often says that it's like a recipe for cooking: if you don't know how to combine the ingredients, you can have the best and still get it wrong. But if you know how to combine them, you can get great results. The ESPRIT range reflects just that : over 20 years of testing and research into every conceivable material.

Words and information are one thing -and important, of course- but what has made ESPRIT so successful over the years is the sonic performance our cables can deliver. That's why listening to music will always be better than talking about the merits of materials and technical applications.
