IC-100 Mark II (should be designated as a MKIV)
High-End Audio Interconnect

The IC-100 MARK II takes advantage of silver in its design through use of our proprietary Silverfuse conductors. The conductors are also solid core insulated with Teflon; the best insulation available. There are, however, two types of Teflon: PTFE and FEP. FEP is less costly for the cable manufacturer; but is significantly inferior to PTFE. We use PTFE. Have you ever seen any other cable company specify that their Teflon is PTFE and not FEP? There is a message there. We have developed a shielding system that is completely independent of the signal carrying conductors. This ensures that no RF or EMI gets into the signal – dead quiet background.

Compare against pure silver and supposedly high tech cable at prices double or more.

IC-100 with bottom entry connector. Made up to ensure maximum flexibility at connector end. Easily turned through 90 degree angle
We have also included a heavy-duty outer jacket to protect the interior and to also prevent against sharp bending of the cable. We have found that Cables that do not have this additional protection, if bent too sharply, can be susceptible to sustaining small fissures (cracks) in the conductor which, over a period of time; degrade the performance of the cable. This is one of the reasons that used cable gets into the used cable market. Performance has deteriorated and usually the former owner does not realize why. This is especially true of Cables that use a mesh cloth as their only outer protection. (Mesh cloth outer coverings are a sign of a hand made cable. see our “Cable Hype” page in our web site concerning the problems with hand made Cables).

We use Locking RCA connectors. These connectors have bodies that are machined rather than stamped out of sheet metal. They are tight-fitting and provide the best possible electrical connection. How does this cable perform? It is designed to be perfectly neutral without emphasizing any portion of the frequency range. It has a wide and deep sound stage and excels in transparency and fidelity of timbre. Our customers tell us this cable is the equal of any cable on the market regardless of price.

EXPLANATION OF OUR PROPRIETARY SILVERFUSE CONDUCTOR MATERIAL: Silverfuse is a near alloy of silver and copper. IT IS NOT SILVER PLATED OR SILVER CLAD. Plating (or clad, which is the same thing as plating) causes a dioding effect when signal is passed through resulting in brightness and distortion. The Silverfuse process starts with seven nines OFHC copper wire with a diameter that is slightly larger than the required size. It is then pulled through a trough of molten silver. The wire with a silver deposit, is then forced through a compacting die where it is subject to tremendous pressure. The silver and the high purity copper are fused together into a near alloy. The compacting fusion also reduces the wire diameter to the desired size. No dioding subsequently occurs with this process. The result provides for the benefits of silver; which are excellent definition and clarity, with the high purity copper benefits of warmth and mellowness.
The Competition: up to $1,300/meter pair

What Hi Fi - "firmly recommended for use with good CD players and amplification. Provided your source can produce it, this cable can deliver to your amp the sort of bass sub-woofers love-fast, extended and deeply exciting - while giving a atmospheric and detailed treble. This is an excellent buy"

I have auditioned several Cables (against the IC-100 MKII - non silver fused), costing twice the amount, namely the Kimber KS1011 £361 and the Van den Hull the First £240 and found I favoured the IC-100 ...................................., its a beautifully open cable with superb detail, very exciting to listen to, its conveys music extremely well .......Mr RK, Notts 17 June 2002.
