The lower resistance and minimal micro distortion that come with superior metallurgy can easily be squandered through poorly chosen, bulky insulation: materials with high levels of dielectric absorption and poor mechanical characteristics; materials that rob signals of detail and energy. Crystal’s cables are built around single, heavy gauge solid-core conductors, yet remain thin and flexible because of their unique construction. The only company to use thin and resilient Kapton tape as a core insulator, it significantly reduces the volume of insulation and eliminates a soft, lossy layer in a critical position. Combined with the elegant simplicity of true coaxial construction and a thin Teflon sleeve the result is minimalist construction that delivers more music than ever before.
