Balanced XLR cables (all handmade by the founder)

Diamond Series

  • Balanced cable made of PC-OCC copper (Pure Crystal - Ohno Continuous Casting Copper), AWG 19, concentric construction, cryogenized et demagnetized.  High density polyethylene insulation.  Resistance of 0.0264 ohm / meter and capacitance of 42pF / meter.  It is shielded against "EMI" and "RF".  This copper is the most conductive and the rarest.  It's patented process makes the copper very linear with crystals that have a length of above 125 meters.  It procures a very detailed sound with excellent instrument separation.  The mid and high frequancies are more present than in any other type of copper.  Gold plated, beryllium copper and phosphor bronze Furutech connectors, cryogenized and demagnetized.  All the connectors are silver welded.  Decorative fabric sheath of excellent quality.  One year warranty.
