Know before you buy
The blend of Solid Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) and Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors balances the extreme detail and clarity of silver with the smooth, natural tonal character of high-purity copper. This combination minimizes distortion and harshness across the entire frequency spectrum.
The DBS creates a stable electrostatic field that saturates the cable's insulation. This reduces time-delay and signal smearing, resulting in a cleaner, more defined soundstage and improved transient response.
No, the Robin Hood Silver cable functions perfectly as a standalone full-range cable. However, if your speakers support bi-wiring, adding the dedicated BASS cable can further optimize performance by separating the high and low-frequency signal paths.
Cold-welding creates a permanent, high-pressure connection that avoids the heat damage and metallurgical changes often caused by traditional soldering. This ensures a more reliable, low-resistance signal path between your cable and equipment.
Each cable is marked with directional arrows on the connectors. You should install them so the arrows point from your amplifier toward your speakers to ensure the noise-dissipation system functions as intended.
This system uses layers of carbon-loaded materials to absorb and dissipate radio-frequency interference before it can reach your speakers. By reducing this noise, the cable prevents amplifier circuit misbehavior and preserves the integrity of the audio signal.
