Perfect-Surface technology applied to extremely pure silver provides unprecedented dynamic clarity and contrast. Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) is AudioQuest’s highest quality metal.
Solid conductors prevent strand interaction, a major source of cable distortion. Extremely high purity Perfect-Surface Silver minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries present in all metal conductors, nearly eliminating harshness and greatly increasing clarity compared to OFHC, OCC, 8N and other coppers. Hard Cell Foam Insulation Hard Cell Foam (HCF) Insulation ensures critical geometry of the signal pair.
Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Hard Cell Foam Insulation is similar to the Foamed-PE used in our more affordable Bridges & Falls cables, and is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets. Because nitrogen (like air) does not absorb energy and therefore does not release energy from or into the conductor, distortion is reduced. In addition, the stiffness of the material allows the cable’s conductors to maintain a stable relationship along the cable’s full length, producing a stable impedance character and further minimizing distortion.

I finally appreciate streaming music, it's clear, dynamic, non-aggressive, you listen to the music without asking questions.
