SS-800 D and SS 800 MK II
Best Value High-End Speaker Cable

This speaker cable has some similarities to our top-of-the- line SS- 1000-D in that it uses Silverfuse conductors; however, it uses 12 gauge conductors rather than the 10 gauge used in the SS-1000-D. Although the gauge is smaller than 10,the 12 gauge is as large as most all other high-end speaker Cables. This is our second from the top of the line speaker cable and also takes advantage of silver in its design through use of our proprietary Silverfuse conductors. The 12 gauge conductors are 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 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). The cabling (weaving) pattern of the SS-800 is proprietary and optimal to match the other parameters of design of the cable. Our prices include preparation with top quality gold-plated connectors of your choice. 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 speaker 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.
