Know before you buy
This cable is engineered for a neutral and highly resolving sound. You can expect accurate timbre, rich harmonics, and a spacious soundstage that presents images with a slightly larger, more defined presence.
The ribbon geometry combined with Teflon insulation is specifically chosen to minimize capacitance. This reduction in capacitance helps maintain signal integrity, resulting in the exceptional clarity and transparency this cable is known for.
The pure cotton jacketing serves as a mechanical damping material. It helps to reduce vibrations and resonance that can negatively color the audio signal, contributing to a cleaner, more stable sound.
The silver/gold nano-fluid is applied to the contact points to prevent oxidation and corrosion over time. This ensures that the connection remains stable and maintains high-quality signal transfer throughout the life of the cable.
While the 17-gauge UPOCC silver ribbon and protective Techflex braiding provide a robust build, the cable remains reasonably manageable. However, due to the ribbon construction and damping materials, it is best to avoid sharp, tight bends during installation.
