Know before you buy
The UP-OCC stranded silver conductors provide superior conductivity compared to standard copper, which helps reveal finer details and micro-dynamics in your vinyl records. This results in a more transparent, high-resolution sound profile.
Yes, all configurations of the Silver Dragon Premium Phono Cable include a dedicated ground lead to help eliminate hum and noise from your turntable setup.
We recommend a break-in period of approximately 100 hours. You will likely notice the sound opening up and becoming more refined as the conductors and solder joints settle during this time.
The choice depends entirely on your turntable and phono preamplifier inputs. We offer DIN to RCA, DIN to XLR, and RCA to RCA options to ensure a precise, secure connection regardless of your hardware's requirements.
The dual-layer shield is designed to block electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. By minimizing this external noise, the cable ensures that only the delicate signal from your cartridge reaches your preamplifier.
The premium version upgrades the internal components to include Mundorf SilverGold solder and high-end connectors from Furutech or WBT. These additions further enhance signal integrity and provide a more robust, long-lasting connection.
