Jeffrey Dam, the founder of IKIGAI, deliberately chose the name IKIGAI audio. The word “IKIGAI” comes from Japan. It is a vision of life, briefly translated: “The reason for one’s own existence”. It is the reason why you get out of bed in the morning to do what makes your inner fire shine, to bring joy, happiness and contentment into your life.

What the cables from IKIGAI do is obvious. IKIGAI Audio is about you, making you feel happy while listening to music. So that you can listen to music more often and longer without getting tired. This is not just a short-term effect. Music also has a long-term effect. It has a healing effect. It lowers your stress levels and reduces anxiety. Plato quoted him as follows: “Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the spirit, flight to the imagination and charm and serenity to life and all”.

IKIGAI audio offers three series SUGURE, KANGAI and KINZAN. In addition to the extremely good small signal cables, we recommend the IKIGAI power cables – also in combination with

signal cables. The level of neutrality, tension, physicality and joy of playing is unparalleled. We haven’t heard of a power cable that is so capable of improving body representation without resorting to effects. In this way, we achieve an enormously vivid representation, but keep the focus primarily on the musical flow. Hours of enjoyment of the music are guaranteed here. Jeffrey Dam is a special person and takes a very close look at the manufacturing aspects of his cables. One of its secrets lies in the production of a monocrystalline conductor material, which is 100% never possible, but it is approached. In doing so, he does not resort to cold or modulated frequencies by means of algorithms, but follows a very natural path. The result is, in our opinion, a clear evolutionary step in cable production. Much more fine information can be experienced and completed images arise in us, which translate our senses into physical reactions. The signal cables are also among the best we know when it comes to the search for what is feasible. In the Kinzan series, the connections between the conductor material and the connector are also welded, so that the resistance is further reduced.
