Know before you buy
The patented hollow oval design is engineered to manage current bunching and frequency-related effects. By controlling how the signal travels through the conductor, it helps maintain a more accurate and consistent transmission compared to traditional solid-core cables.
These cables are sold as a single unit. If you are connecting a stereo component, you will need to purchase two cables.
Continuous Cast Copper is processed to minimize grain boundaries within the metal, which reduces signal resistance and distortion. This results in a smoother, more transparent signal path that allows for greater clarity and detail in your music.
The Solo Crystal Oval is designed to be a neutral conduit rather than a tone control. Its goal is to transmit the signal as accurately as possible without adding coloration or filtering, providing a direct and vivid representation of your equipment's inherent sound.
These cables are designed for high-end audio components that feature balanced XLR inputs and outputs. They are ideal for connecting preamplifiers to power amplifiers or high-resolution DACs to your amplification stage.
Teflon is used because it has excellent insulating properties and resists energy storage. By minimizing the energy stored within the cable's dielectric, the signal remains cleaner and more responsive, preventing the 'smearing' of transients.
