Know before you buy

Because of its emphasis on low-end weight and a warmer presentation, this cable performs exceptionally well with genres like Electronica, Dance, Pop, Rap, and R&B.
Ultra-pure, single-crystal copper minimizes the internal grain boundaries found in standard wires. This allows for a cleaner signal path, effectively removing the bottlenecks often present in stock OEM cables.
