Know before you buy
The Silver Streak uses hyper-pure silver for the signal path to maximize detail and speed, while utilizing copper for the ground plane. This hybrid approach balances the high-frequency clarity of silver with the grounded, stable performance of copper.
The tri-braid geometry is designed to minimize electromagnetic interference and reduce cable inductance. This physical structure helps maintain signal integrity, resulting in a cleaner, more spacious soundstage.
VariStrand technology uses varying strand diameters within each conductor. This design helps dampen mechanical vibrations and resonances that can otherwise color the sound, leading to a more natural and accurate reproduction.
This specific cable is 2.0 meters long, which is well within the optimal range for interconnects. Because of its low capacitance and inductance, it maintains signal accuracy across this length without significant loss.
These proprietary connectors are engineered for high conductivity and long-term durability. The Ultraplate finish ensures a secure, low-resistance connection that resists oxidation over time.
While silver is known for its exceptional clarity and speed, the Silver Streak is widely praised for being detailed rather than harsh. It is designed to reveal more information in your music without introducing artificial brightness or fatigue.
