Best of 2025, Day 6 - Merlin Cables

Best of 2025

It’s Day 6 of the Best of 2025 here at HF&MS, and today, not all the awards have to go to super-expensive pieces of equipment, and the Merlin Cable’s Tarantula cables are a case in point. In the review, I talked about having confidence in audio products, and these cables gave me so much confidence to recommend them that they had to be in this Best of 2025 lineup.

Congratulations to Merlin Cables for their Tarantula loudspeaker cables and this Best of 2025 award. Read the review here.

Don’t forget the Best of 2025 will continue this week and next. The complete list of Product of the Year 2025 contenders is here. The full list includes all of the reviews completed here at HF&MS in 2025. The Best of 2025 awards are not necessarily the best audiophile products, but rather the ones that had the most tremendous impact on the writers here at HF&MS.
