Know before you buy
The Double Star-Quad geometry is designed to improve dynamic contrast and overall clarity. By arranging the conductors in this specific pattern, the cable effectively reduces interference, allowing for more intelligible and detailed sound reproduction.
Solid conductors eliminate strand interaction, which is a common source of distortion in audio cables. By using a single solid piece of copper, the signal path remains cleaner and more consistent, resulting in a more transparent audio performance.
This configuration allows you to connect a single amplifier output to both the high-frequency and low-frequency inputs on your speakers. It is designed to optimize performance by separating the signal paths for different frequency ranges, which can lead to better imaging and reduced distortion.
Cold-welding uses high pressure to create a permanent, molecular-level bond between the cable and the connector without the use of heat. This prevents the degradation of the metal that can occur during the soldering process, ensuring a more reliable and sonically pure connection.
SST uses a precise combination of different conductor sizes to minimize the sonic signature of the cable itself. By varying the conductor sizes, the cable avoids the specific resonance issues that can occur when using only one size, resulting in a more balanced and neutral sound.
