Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval Interconnect Cable
Best high-resolution interconnect for audiophiles seeking pure, transparent signal transmission.
The Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval Interconnect Cable offers an "utterly clear" transmission line, allowing you to hear into recordings in new ways. Its patented hollow oval geometry controls current bunching and frequency effects for the truest possible sound. Premium Continuous Cast Copper braids provide a smooth transmission medium, while proprietary Teflon dielectrics minimize energy storage. Hand-crafted and terminated with Neutrik XLR connectors, these cables offer symmetry between signal and return paths, ensuring an extremely quiet noise floor. They deliver a bracing, high-resolution view of your equipment and music without acting as filters or tone controls.

Know before you buy
The patented hollow oval design is engineered to control current bunching and frequency effects. By managing how current flows through the conductor, it ensures a more accurate and transparent signal transmission compared to traditional solid-core designs.
Continuous Cast Copper is used to provide a smooth, high-purity transmission medium for your audio signal. This material minimizes internal grain boundaries, which helps reduce signal distortion and results in a cleaner, more detailed sound.
These cables are designed to be neutral and transparent rather than acting as tone controls. They aim to deliver a high-resolution, vivid presentation of your music without adding or subtracting character from your existing equipment.
Teflon is used as a dielectric because it has excellent insulating properties that minimize energy storage. This helps the cable maintain signal integrity and prevents the dielectric from 'absorbing' and releasing energy, which can otherwise smear the timing of the audio.
Yes, these cables are terminated with Neutrik XLR connectors and feature a balanced design. This configuration ensures symmetry between the signal and return paths, which is highly effective at maintaining an extremely quiet noise floor.
