Analysis Plus Oval One Interconnect Cable
Best interconnect for audiophiles seeking enhanced clarity in unbalanced home systems.
The Analysis Plus Oval One Interconnect Cables offer audiophiles superb sound quality and value for unbalanced systems. Developed with a proprietary hollow oval design, these cables feature a braided signal conductor and a braided outer shield for exceptional noise reduction and dynamic range. The true 75-ohm RCA connectors utilize a solder-less compression contact technique to ensure optimal signal transfer and prevent dielectric damage. Handmade with first-rate materials, the Oval One cables deliver increased weight, power, and transparency to your music, unmasking subtle details for a more refined listening experience.

Know before you buy
The hollow oval design is engineered to manage current bunching and frequency-related effects. By spreading the signal more evenly across the conductor, it helps maintain a more consistent performance across the entire frequency range.
Solder-less compression contacts are used to ensure a secure, high-pressure connection that maintains a true 75-ohm impedance. This method avoids the heat damage that can occur during traditional soldering, preserving the integrity of the cable's dielectric materials.
Yes, the Oval One features 100% shield coverage with a braided outer shield. This design is highly effective at blocking electromagnetic interference, which helps lower the noise floor and allows for a cleaner, more transparent sound.
The 0.5-meter length is ideal for connecting components that are stacked or placed immediately adjacent to one another. If your equipment is further apart, you may need a longer cable to avoid putting unnecessary tension on the connectors.
Users typically notice improved transparency, better detail retrieval, and a reduction in high-frequency graininess. It is designed to add weight and power to the sound while unmasking subtle textures that might be lost with standard interconnects.
