Know before you buy
The Ailsa uses ultra-high-purity OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) conductors and a microporous PTFE dielectric, which significantly reduces signal degradation compared to standard copper cables. This combination ensures a more transparent, balanced, and open sound profile.
This cable utilizes a dual-layer approach featuring both a braid and Mylar foil to provide 100% coverage. This robust shielding is highly effective at rejecting external electromagnetic interference, ensuring your signal remains clean and noise-free.
With an outside diameter of 9mm, the cable is substantial but remains flexible enough for most home audio setups. The co-axial construction is designed to balance structural integrity with the physical maneuverability required for professional audio installations.
The Achromatic connector is designed to minimize mass and eliminate the signal-degrading effects of traditional solder joints. By creating a more direct, low-resistance connection, it helps maintain the integrity of the signal from your source to your amplifier.
Yes, the low capacitance of 54.50 pF/m makes this cable an excellent choice for longer runs. Its design minimizes signal loss and high-frequency roll-off, ensuring consistent performance even when your components are spaced further apart.
