Clairvoyant Cables Design Philosophy

We design our cables with the highest quality materials available. We use only the highest grade of 6N 99.9999% pure Ohno Continous Cast solid core copper available,then we have it gold plated and insulated with Enamel. OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) is the highest quality method of drawing wire. What makes OCC copper so special is it only has one grain per every 700 feet of wire which is far less than the previous industry leader LC copper.With OCC wire the signal travels through one continuous conductor instead of traversing grain boundaries.The purpose of the gold plating was not solely to add richness,texture and body to the music, but it was chosen to insure that the cables will never oxidize over time like traditional silver or copper cables.The only benefit of pure silver or pure copper over gold is the slightly higher conductivity,but silver and copper loose some of their conductivity as they age because they both suffer from Oxidation. Copper is only slightly lower in conductivity than silver,but when copper is gold plated there is no chance for oxidation to occur so in the long run gold plated copper will be more conductive than both pure silver and pure copper. Oxidation is the main reason why cables tend to sound less detailed and dull after several years, or even months of use. We chose to use solid core conductors over stranded conductors because in a stranded cable the signal has a tendency to jump from strand to strand causing distortion. Each strand interface acts like a small circuit,with capacitance and a diode effect,much like the grain structure of copper. We use smaller gauge conductors which we call "Optimum Diameter" conductors. The use of our Optimum Diameter conductors offers lower Eddy Currents and they are below the threshold of Skin Effect.  We use specific geometries combined with our MultiCrystal Damping System for lower microphonics and optimum electrical characteristics. We chose to use Enamel as the Dielectric because we could use a very thin coating while maintaining durability and low Dielectric Absorption. Dielectric materials absorb energy,a phenomenon called "Dielectric Absorption". A capacitor works in the same way; a dielectric material between two charged plates stores energy. But in a cable, Dielectric Absorption can degrade the signal.The energy that is absorbed into the dielectric is released back into the cable slightly delayed in time which is a very undesirable phenomenon that causes loss of focus, transient smearing and undefined images and  truncated sound-stages. That's why we chose to use Enamel insulation over the more common Teflon or Polyethylene insulators because we could use a much thinner coating to minimize dielectric absorption. Our cables are simply designed to offer the most musical reproduction possible, while offering the end user a tremendous value and pride of ownership.
