I'm inclined to believe that the Cheetah interconnects and Mont Blanc speaker cables sound good because they're reasonably simple—simpler, even, than other, earlier AudioQuest designs. I think it's also because their connectors are sensibly low in mass, because they're well made, and because they use conductive metals that are evidently very high in quality
Five passes through the braider are required to create the TRIFOCAL XL. 1 – six wire braid for high frequency. 2 – braided layer of ESD yarn for electrical and mechanical damping. 3 – twelve wire braid for mid range connection. 4 – braided layer of ESD yarn for electrical and mechanical damping. 5 – twenty four wire braid for low frequency connection.Three distinctly unique cables in a single body. A true triwire or triamp cable in one sleek package. Made of equal parts TC and VS conductors. The best of both TC and VS attributes with much better soundstage and more precise imaging. 5.5 AWG (13.7 mm2 per polarity overall to provide the critical link to your music.
The new twin lead loudspeaker cable of our state-of-the-art FUSION SERIES. It equally excels in bi-wiring and bi-amping configurations or even as interconnect. It’s highly versatile and heavily protected against audio signal interference.
- Very detailed signal transmission and superb spacious character.
- Protection from interferences caused by electromagnetic noise. It features a separate central ground lead* for ground connection between loudspeakers and amplifier.
- Four star-quad-configured signal lines surround the central ground lead.
- Additional protection against R.F. interference is provided by the cable’s heavy braided screen. (This should be grounded at the amplifier side and be left disconnected at the loudspeaker end)
- When using digital (switchmode) power amplifiers, any radiation of residual noise from the loudspeaker lines is prevented.
- Hybrid technology means the conductors are embedded in a conductive layer containing our Linear Structured Carbon ®.
- Jacket and insulation are both made of HULLIFLEX ® 4, a very rugged insulation material which provides outstanding protection.
- Having four signal lines, The INSPIRATION HYBRID is also suitable to be used as a bi-wiring or bi-amping loudspeaker cable;
- The signal lines are intended to be pairwise combined to form a twin lead loudspeaker cable with a total cross-section area of 2 x 3.94 mm² and a resistance of 2 x 1.4 Ω/100 m.
- With four signal lines The INSPIRATION HYBRID is also suitable to be used as a bi-wiring or bi-amping loudspeaker cable;
(Total cross-section area: 4 x 1.97 mm²; Resistance: 4 x 2.8 Ω/100 m).
- (*) Some loudspeaker manufacturers equip their loudspeakers with a separate ground connection. (e.g. The Tannoy Dimension range TD-8, TD-10 and TD-12). Hopefully other brands will follow this good example!…
