Scottish specialist cabling guru Atlas has announced a new super high quality interconnect cable, the Silver-line.
In development for a long time, the interconnect is claimed to be the ultimate in signal cable topology. It consists of Ohno Continuous Cast (OCC) pure silver stranded conductors with a PTFA (Teflon) dielectric laid in twisted pairs suspended in a bed of cotton yarn for the reduction of microphony - the whole shebang being contained within an outer sheet of PVC with a blue-black cotton fabric cover. Phew!
OCC silver has a lower resistance than copper and has a complete absence of any crystal boundaries in the conductor, so the signal can pass through 'with no disruption or significant loss of quality'.
The diameter of the cable is 7.5mm and is terminated at each end by a new design of RCA plug featuring a beryllium insert that gives a very tight fit and a freedom from the tendency to slacken that can afflict other connectors.
It all sounds very impressive, and with a UK retail price of £1,000 it had better be!
