Know before you buy
The Hero is a significant step up from the PBJ, utilizing more advanced metallurgy and the GyroQuadratic field geometry. These upgrades result in improved imaging, greater transparency, and a more refined, grain-free presentation.
The WBT-0114 connectors feature pure Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC) contacts, which ensure a high-conductivity, low-resistance connection. This design maintains signal integrity and provides a secure, reliable fit for your audio components.
The Hero uses a four-wire quadratic braid geometry, which is designed to reject electromagnetic interference naturally without the need for traditional shielding. This construction helps maintain the cable's neutral tonal balance and dynamic range.
The Hero is known for its dead-neutral sound, meaning it does not color the audio or favor specific frequencies. You can expect a highly resolved, dynamic, and smooth performance that stays true to the original recording.
Yes, the Hero is available in lengths ranging from 0.5m up to 8.0m. Because of its high-quality construction and geometry, it maintains signal fidelity well across these various lengths.
