When we design a cable we want to achieve one thing: To have a cable that works as if there
is no cable at all. That means to have a cable that, in audio terms, is absolutely neutral, one that is truly transparent. In order to do this we must understand the electrical and material science at work. In this document we will look at this, and then show how we combine techniques and materials knowledge to satisfy the fundamentals of a transparent cable listed below. |

A transparent cable must have the following properties:- • Minimal effect on phase • Minimal attenuate to the sound • To be 'fast' (to have a low propagation delay factor) • To be stable with age and to be terminated well |

There are additional factors such as how easy it is to handle and how good it looks in a home environment. But
the fundamentals must be solved first.
These pages illustrate for you how we have done this, explaining the principles at
work and showing why the small details make such significant impact on performance.
