Studio : Pangea Audio Publisher : Pangea Audio Binding : Electronics Product Description Pangea Audio's Premier XL coaxial digital cable takes a no-compromise approach to digital audio, featuring precision-wound 18-gauge conductors using a Cardas Grade One Copper signal conductor with a 6% silver coating. It also boasts an exotic form of PE insulation that to our knowledge has never been used in a digital coaxial cable before, premium Prime 750 RCA connectors, and a tough woven nylon braided jacket. Cardas Copper is mined in Arizona and then shipped to New England where it is SLOWLY drawn into wire in a custom-designed Argon gas chamber to insure no impurities get into the conductor. The Prime 750 RCA features a special ultra-low mass design that takes best advantage of the fine properties of exotic metals, while avoiding technical issues caused by using higher mass metal contacts such as eddy currents. Prime 750 has an ultra-low-mass, hollow, direct-gold plated Tellurium Copper center pin and ultra-low-mass direct-gold plated beryllium copper spring-type ground contacts. Instead of a heavier metal ring, Prime 750 uses an advanced polymer insulator to hold the connector together - further reducing the amount of metal required in the connector. The outer shell or cover is made from non-magnetic brass treated with a tough-as-nails scratch and chip resistant black chrome plating. George Cardas of Cardas Audio developed Cardas Grade One Copper for his own premium cables. George's copper is mined in Arizona, then shipped to a New England factory where it is very S-L-O-W-L-Y drawn into conductors in a process that includes reduction annealing between steps to further purify and meld the copper. 0
