Realising the full potential of the new super audio formats, with their wide dynamic range and extended frequency response, requires an interconnect which exceeds the requirements of the SACD/DVD-A format. Conceived and designed as an upgrade to the world renowned and multi-award winning Ecosse Maestro MA2 Interconnect The Symphony is an all-new balanced analogue interconnect cable which easily exceeds these requirements.
This remarkable interconnect uses several complementary sub-topologies synergised in one cable. The conductor is UHP-OFC (Ultra High Purity Oxygen-Free Copper), plated in UHP-OFS™ (Ultra High Purity Oxygen-Free Silver) spirally wound around a PE (polyethylene) tube with a primary dielectric of gas-foamed low-density polyethylene (LDFPE).
Each conductor assembly has a continuous foil shield and drain wire. Isohelix™ is our patented technology for ensuring not only that the signal and return conductors always maintain a precise relationship to each other, but also that externally induced resonance (microphony) is entirely dissipated. A further continuous foil shield and drain wraps the encapsulation before sheathing in soft PVC.
When wired in a pseudo-balanced fashion using RCA phono connections, the screen is connected at one end only to drain unwanted 'noise' RFI. Here the termination is our high. MACH2XS Audiophile deep silver-plated non-compressing all-Copper RCA plugs - where the centre pin and shields (designed to form a 'Faraday Cage'- a device designed to maximise RF screening) are built from copper materials.
The Symphony, single-ended or balanced, produces a soundscape from an inky blackness that converts your listening room into the recording venue. This interconnect, due to its construction, is directional and an arrow indicates the appropriate direction (RCA).
For the ultimate audio experience at this price point, try it in combination with the MS4.45 pre-terminated biwire speaker cable.
