From High Fidelity Review:

If you haven’t heard of the Sinew, you’re not alone. When most people think of Totem Acoustic, thoughts of slim two-way loudspeakers and tricked-out native-themed rooms spring to mind. Yet for years, Totem has silently offered what may be one of the better-kept secrets in the world of luxury interconnects.

Performance Summary: The Yin

Vince Bruzzese crafted the Sinew to integrate well into nearly any high end audio system. What he ended up with was a jack-of-all-trades interconnect that pulls off damn near every audio trick in the book, all the while keeping true to its roots. Simply put, the Sinew is one hell of a versatile interconnect. No matter what I’ve tied it to, be it a euphonic single ended triode or a razor sharp class D switching amplifier, the Sinew has remained faithful to its vivid persona. There is something to be said for dependability and consistency.

There is also something to be said for a cable that can churn all of those wonderful and often convoluted audiophile adjectives. Fear not, my brothers and sisters of a critical ear, the Sinew gives you plenty of goodies, such as exceptional detail retrieval, wonderful low level resolution, clean and extended highs, a super fast and harmonically engaging midrange, along with clean, dynamic, and effortless sounding bass. Make that a lot of bass.

Keeping true to Totem lineage, the Sinew’s most salient, yet not so surprising attribute is its ability to throw out a tremendous holographic soundstage. None of the other cables in this comparison was able to match it in this regard. The Sinew also holds a distinct edge in the ability to deliver convincing levels of acoustic energy,something that became particularly noticeable on full scale orchestra pieces. Crescendos retained more energy. Tympani strikes in particular had…. well, more balls.

Performance Summary: the Yang

Now that I’ve made the Sinew out to be the God among interconnects, its time to bring it back down to mere mortal flesh and bone. For all the Sinew can do, it could benefit from a touch of refinement at its frequency extremes. The treble, while extended and detailed, can sound ever so slightly rough in direct comparison to cables with a smoother and more refined top end. The bass, while full and detailed, can often lose some of its composure during heavy bass passages. Although these faults can be considered sins of omission in light of all the Sinew’s strengths, they are nonetheless a part of its whole, one that cannot be manipulated.

Recommendations

There aren’t too many safe bets in audio. The Sinew may be one of them. It is one of the few cables I’ve stumbled across that can blend well into just about any situation. The only circumstance I’ve ever found the Sinew to perform badly is when thrown into a system that exudes a bit of thinness in the upper midrange/lower treble. Otherwise, this super flexible, no bullshit interconnect has got the goods necessary to take any system to potentially greater heights
