Wildcat is sure to help you scratch deeper into yourfavorite records. Select metals, exact geometry, and low-distortion insulationoffer significant improvements over almost any stock phono cable. SOLID PERFECT-SURFACE COPPER CONDUCTORS (PSC):Perfect-Surface Copper has an astonishingly smooth and pure surface. Proprietary metal-processing technology protects the wire’s surface at everystage of drawing and fabrication. When high-purity low-oxide copper is kept assoft, pure and smooth as possible, it becomes a wonderfully low-distortionconductor. For over 30 years AudioQuest has pioneered the use of superiormetals; yet even we were surprised by this huge leap in performance. PSCclearly outperforms previous AQ metals that cost over ten times as much. Electrical and magnetic interaction between strands in a conventional cable isthe greatest source of distortion, often causing a somewhat dirty, harsh sound. Solid conductors are fundamental toward achieving Wildcat’s very clean sound. FOAMED-POLYETHYLENE INSULATION: Any solid material adjacentto a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation andcircuit board materials all absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is storedand then released as distortion. Wildcat uses air-filled Foamed-PolyethyleneInsulation because air absorbs next to no energy and Polyethylene is low-loss andhas a benign distortion profile. Thanks to all the air in Foamed-PE, it causesmuch less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials. TERMINATIONS: Wildcat’s gold-plated RCA plugs use aproprietary design that eliminates the distortion caused by the extra contactinside most plugs. Because the ground shells are stamped instead of machined, the metal can be chosen for low distortion instead of machinability. Acombination of these major ingredients, and many more subtle details add up toexplain how Wildcat can sound so clean, clear and dynamic. ]]>
