SS-800 - 2 wire version
A High End budget Cable
A simple description of this cable is that has some of the attributes as our SS-800 MK II; but at a lower price

. Noise that you never realized was there disappears yielding a dead quiet background. The SS-800 MK II also takes advantage of silver in its design through use of our proprietary Silverfuse conductors. The conductors are 12 gauge, insulated with Teflon, the best insulation available. .

We have also included a heavy-duty outer jacket to protect the interior and to also prevent against sharp bending of the cable. We have found that cables that do not have this additional protection, if bent too sharply, can be susceptible to sustaining small fissures (cracks) in the conductor which, over a period of time; degrade the performance of the cable. This is one of the reasons that used cable gets into the used cable market. Performance has deteriorated and usually the former owner does not realize why. This is especially true of cables that use a mesh cloth as their only outer protection. (Mesh cloth outer coverings are a sign of a hand made cable. See our Cable Hype page concerning the problems with hand made cables).

The cabling (weaving) pattern is proprietary and optimal to match the other parameters of design of the cable. It is polypropylene-filled, and in conjunction with the polypropylene, contains an anti-static, anti-vibration barrier. Our prices include preparation with top quality gold-plated connectors of your choice. How does this cable perform? Amazingly well for a cable in this price range.

We also use our proprietary Silverfuse alloy conductor material.

EXPLANATION OF OUR PROPRIETARY SILVERFUSE CONDUCTOR MATERIAL: Silverfuse is a near alloy of silver and copper. The copper used in this process is Single Crystal Continuous Cast Copper. It has unique physical and chemical properties, such as considerably longer granules with absolute absence of gaseous impurities such as oxygen, carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen. It is free from impurities (up to 99.99998% pure copper). It is far better than continuous cast Oxygen Free High Conductivity wire (OFHC). IT IS NOT SILVER PLATED. Silver plating causes a dioding effect when signal is passed through resulting in brightness and distortion. Because silver plating has a bad reputation, some manufacturers try to disguise the fact by calling it silver coated, silver clad or silver/copper hybrid. But they are all silver plated. Our Silverfuse process starts with Single Crystal Continuous Cast Copper wire with a diameter that is slightly larger than the required size. It is then pulled through a trough of molten silver. The wire with a silver deposit is then forced through a compacting process where it is subject to tremendous pressure. The silver and the copper are fused together into a near alloy. The compacting fusion also reduces the wire diameter to the desired size. No dioding subsequently occurs with this process. The result provides for the benefits of silver; which are excellent definition and clarity, with the high purity copper benefits of warmth and mellowness. (Incidentally, pure silver wire also causes brightness)

If you are considering spade lugs, please note our spades are Universal; they fit posts from 4/16" to 5/16" (6 millimeters to 8 millimeters), which accommodates virtually all speakers and amps.
