Know before you buy
Pure silver offers superior electrical conductivity compared to standard copper. This allows the cable to transmit the delicate, low-level signals from your turntable with greater detail and accuracy, minimizing signal loss.
The cable uses a dual-layer approach featuring a silver-plated OFC helix and a carbon-saturated sub-jacket. This combination effectively blocks external electromagnetic interference and radio frequency noise, which is critical for sensitive phono cartridges.
Despite its high-end construction, the cable is designed for flexibility. It uses a halogen-free TPE jacket and cellular polyethylene dielectric, making it easy to maneuver and install in tight spaces behind your audio rack.
Rhodium plating provides an extremely durable, corrosion-resistant surface that ensures a consistent electrical contact over time. The carbon fiber housing is used to isolate the signal pins from external vibrations and interference, maintaining a clean connection.
This cable features a 5-pin DIN connector on the turntable end and XLR connectors on the amplifier end. It is specifically designed for turntables with a 5-pin output and balanced phono stages, so ensure your equipment supports this configuration before purchasing.
