The cable successfully targets and satisfies the ultra high end segment, delivering benchmark audio quality.
Know before you buy
The hardwired design provides a direct, unbuffered signal path between your components. By removing the noise reduction network found in some other Transparent models, it offers a more transparent and immediate connection for your audio signal.
The twisted pair geometry is specifically designed to cancel out electromagnetic interference and radio frequency noise. This ensures that the signal traveling from your source to your amplifier remains clean and free from external electrical hum.
While these are built to professional-grade standards, they are perfectly suited for high-end home audio systems. The 6-foot length is ideal for connecting standard stereo components like a turntable, CD player, or DAC to an integrated amplifier or receiver.
Oxygen-free copper is used because it has fewer impurities than standard copper, which allows for better conductivity. This ensures that the delicate audio signal is transferred with minimal resistance and loss, resulting in improved dynamics and clarity.
Yes, the cable features a foil shield designed to protect the signal from external interference. While it is always best practice to keep audio cables away from power cords to prevent noise, this shielding provides a robust barrier against common household electrical interference.
