SS 800 Bi-wire Speaker Cable |
This cable is named simply, The Bi-Wire. We have developed this cable as an internal bi-wire, meaning that there are four conductor systems in one sheath (jacket) rather than only two that are normally found in speakers with only two terminals. All four are 12 gauge. Many competitors do not use conductors as large as 12 gauge and to save costs, some manufactures will even make the two upper frequency conductors in a still smaller gauge than the two low frequency conductors. The Bi-Wire takes advantage of silver in its design through use of our proprietary Silverfuse conductors. These four conductors are 12 gauge and 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 is proprietary and optimal to match the other parameters of design of the cable. It is polypropylene-filled, and in conjunction with the Polypropylene, contains an anti-static, anti-vibration barrier. 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 and exceeds the performance of most 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. |
