HMS Elektronik is proud to share a feature published by Fidelity Magazine, in which the renowned German publication takes a detailed look at the HMS Gran Finale 50 cable series.
The article explores the technical philosophy behind the cables and the engineering heritage established by HMS founder Hans Manfred Strassner, while also highlighting the continued development of the brand under International Audio Holding (IAH). Fidelity emphasizes how HMS combines traditional physics-driven cable engineering with modern materials, improved shielding concepts, and refined manufacturing processes.
According to the article, the Gran Finale 50 cables represent the evolution of the original Gran Finale series, combining monocrystalline copper conductors, advanced insulation materials, and carefully engineered shielding to achieve extremely transparent signal transmission.
„Mit den Gran Finale 50 geht es um den letzten Meter Exzellenz.“
“With the Gran Finale 50, it is about the final meter of excellence.”
— Fidelity Magazine No. 84, 2026
The review highlights that HMS cables act as a form of infrastructure within a high-end audio system, allowing the signal to unfold naturally against a “black background” with exceptional clarity and control. In the listening impressions, the Gran Finale 50 cables are described as delivering remarkable openness, precise tonal balance, and a highly resolved presentation across the full frequency spectrum.
Particular attention is given to the series’ ability to reveal fine musical details — from the subtle nuances of saxophone breath in jazz recordings to the dynamic scale of large orchestral works — while maintaining coherence and natural musical flow.
Fidelity also notes that the cables integrate seamlessly into complex high-end systems, where their engineering contributes to improved spatial structure, clarity, and microdynamic expression without altering the natural tonal character of the system.
We sincerely thank the editorial team of Fidelity Magazine for their detailed feature and continued appreciation of HMS engineering.
