Know before you buy
This cable is designed primarily for medium to large power amplifiers, though its neutral and dynamic signature makes it a versatile choice for a wide range of high-end audio components.
It utilizes three 11.5 AWG Cardas Litz conductors and advanced Matched Propagation technology, which helps maintain signal integrity. The double-shielded design and un-choked ground leg are specifically engineered to minimize interference and provide a clean power path.
Despite its robust 0.610-inch diameter and high-quality internal shielding, the cable is finished with a super flexible TPR outer jacket, making it significantly easier to manage and route than many other high-performance cables.
You can expect a more coherent soundstage with improved fluidity and dynamic subtlety. It is designed to be tonally neutral, allowing the natural character of your components to shine through without adding artificial coloration.
The cable is terminated with Cardas E-5 power plugs, which feature silver and rhodium-plated solid copper contacts to ensure a secure, low-resistance connection.
The Kevlar core provides internal structural support, which prevents the conductors from stretching or deforming over time. This ensures the cable maintains its performance and physical integrity even with frequent handling.
