Solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) Conductor

Long-grain copper (LGC) has fewer impurities and fewer internal grain boundaries, reducing distortion and digital timing errors.

Star-QUAD Geometry

High-inductance geometry smooths the sound and reduces information. The low-inductance Star-Quad geometry preserves timing information, maintaining dynamics and clarity.

Noise Dissipation System

The negative conductors of this cable are covered with partially conductive carbon-loaded polyethylene. This remarkable material reduces radio-frequency garbage from being fed back into the amplifier. The sonic benefit is the exact same reduction of “hash” and improved dimensionality that comes when RF interference is reduced in an audio circuit. In addition, a carbon layer damps interaction between positive and negative conductors, and an external carbon-based noise-dissipation system reduces external interference.

User reviews

Nicolas

The connection with my hi-fi audio system and home cinema works very well. I had no problem passing the cable through a 20mm sheath. These are rigid wires that need to be twisted in pairs for simple amplification. I was a bit surprised, which makes them a little more difficult to connect to the speaker terminals (I don't use banana plugs). The black sheath is also very soft, so be careful not to cut the conductor sheaths underneath when stripping it. But the audio quality seems excellent.

L'association avec mon systeme audio hifi et HC fonctionne très bien. Je n'ai pas eu de problème pour passer le câble dans une gaine de 20mm ? Il s'agit de fils rigides à torsader 2 par 2 si simple amplification, j'étais un peu surpris et du coup c'est un peu plus difficile à connecter aux borniers d'enceintes (je n'utilise pas de fiches bananes). La gaine noire est aussi très tendre, attention à ne pas couper les gaines des conducteurs en dessous quand on la dénude. Mais la qualité audio a l'air excellente.
