love cable / Tonmeister — Precision Audiophile Cables from the Netherlands
Engineering first. Sound without interpretation.
No-Nonsense by Design
love cable / Tonmeister, established on October 1st, 2013, represents the culmination of over four decades of experience in designing, consulting, and manufacturing high-performance audio cables for both end users and OEM partners. This long-standing involvement at every level of the industry forms the foundation of an independent brand based in the Netherlands. Our work is defined by precision, neutrality, and long-term technical confidence.
By staying outside the promotional cycle, we focus entirely on what matters:
- Material science
- Precision geometry
- Mechanical and electrical stability
- Cables as transparent conduits, never tuning devices
Production capacity is intentionally limited.
Love Cable
All love cable products, including OEM design and manufacturing, are developed to the highest standards of engineering discipline. They are built for musicians, recording engineers, and producers who demand consistency, neutrality, and low-coloration signal transfer.
Tonmeister

Lipinski Sound
Reference Monitoring
"If we aren't convinced our next design will bring real value to the audio industry, we simply won't produce it."
— Prof. dr Andrew Lipinski, 2014
LIPINSKI SOUND is the only manufacturer offering full Class A active monitoring with proprietary Lipinski Op-Amps, minimal negative feedback, and a completely capacitor-, resistor-, and coil-free signal path.
The result is absolute neutrality, phase-coherent transients, and true mastering-grade resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes love cable / Tonmeister audio cables different? +
Tonmeister cables are designed by a certified Tonmeister with over four decades of OEM cable engineering experience. Every cable is built as a neutral signal conduit — not a tuning device — using precision geometry, premium Neutrik and Telegärtner connectors, and pure copper or specialist conductors. Production is intentionally limited to ensure consistent quality. Each order begins with a technical conversation, not a transaction.
Do you sell audio cables directly without dealers? +
Yes. love cable / Tonmeister operates exclusively through direct sales. There are no dealers or distributors. This keeps pricing competitive and ensures every customer relationship starts with a technical dialogue tailored to their system.
What types of audio cables does Tonmeister make? +
Tonmeister produces balanced XLR interconnects, unbalanced RCA interconnects, S/PDIF digital coaxial cables, AES/EBU digital cables, word clock cables (BNC), USB audio cables, Ethernet network cables with Telegärtner RJ45, DC power cables, phono cables (RCA or SME 5-pin DIN), loudspeaker cables in single-wire and bi-wire configurations, and shielded AC mains cables.
What is a Tonmeister? +
Tonmeister is an academic degree and professional title for audio engineers who have completed advanced study in music, acoustics, electronics, and recording technology. The qualification combines deep musical knowledge with rigorous technical engineering training. Noël Coquet, founder of love cable, holds this title.
Can I get a custom length audio cable? +
Yes. Custom lengths are available for most cable types. Contact us to discuss your requirements. Every order begins with a technical dialogue to ensure the cable matches your system architecture and listening objectives.
What cable do you recommend for Chord Electronics, Naim Audio, or Accuphase systems? +
For Chord Electronics DACs (DAVE, Hugo TT2, Qutest) we recommend the TM-DM110+ or TM-AM balanced XLR interconnects and the TM-USB+ for USB connection. For Naim Audio New Classic and Statement ranges, balanced XLR terminations are available. For Accuphase equipment, our TM-AM or TM-DM110 balanced interconnects pair well. Each recommendation starts with a system consultation.
Do Tonmeister cables work with Ferrum Hypsos or Farad Super power supplies? +
Yes. The TM-DC4-MQ Starquad Shielded DC Power Cable with 4T Sensing Design is specifically engineered for use with power supplies such as the Ferrum Hypsos and Farad Super. It ensures exact voltage delivery precisely at the powered device's DC input terminal.
Should I use single-wire or bi-wire speaker cables for my loudspeakers? +
This depends on your loudspeakers. Speakers from Sonus Faber, Bowers & Wilkins, Dynaudio, Focal, KEF, and PMC typically support bi-wiring. Magico, Wilson Audio, and YG Acoustics use a single set of binding posts and require single-wire cables only. We recommend consulting us before ordering — the correct choice depends on your specific model.
Where are love cable / Tonmeister cables made? +
All cables are handcrafted in Axel, Zeeland, The Netherlands by founder Noël Coquet. Every cable is individually built and tested before shipping.
Do you also sell Lipinski Sound monitors? +
Yes. love cable / Tonmeister represents Lipinski Sound in the Netherlands. Lipinski Sound is the only manufacturer offering full Class A active monitoring with proprietary op-amps and a completely capacitor-, resistor-, and coil-free signal path — trusted by Mobile Fidelity, Warner Bros., Universal, NYU, and McGill University.
