Siltech Cables Triple Crown XLR/RCA Interconnect

Passing signal through cable is one thing – passing it through connectors is quite another. Such is the superiority of the new Siltech cable that it ruthlessly exposes the limitations and inconsistency of existing plugs, making it necessary to design completely new terminations, connectors that share the same design goals of mechanical and electrical consistency and stability as the Siltech Cables Triple Crown Interconnect. Not surprisingly, the new Triple Crown connectors are just as radical as the cable they match. With three patents pending, their solid mono-crystal silver contacts provide perfect material continuity through the cable and connector, while the revolutionary two-part asymmetrical design of both the XLR and RCA self-centres and mechanically clamps the contacts, ensuring a geometrical and electrically consistent connection, no matter the size or tolerance of the socket. Despite their size the new connectors are also incredibly low-mass – a result of the intricate construction and watch-like precision. That should come as no surprise: only a watch-maker was able to achieve the tolerances we demanded. 

Siltech has always advocated the benefits of silver and silver-gold over any other metallurgic technology for a good reason. Due to their composition, materials like copper are not stable over time and therefore a poor long-term investment for the audiophile. Now Siltech has found a new technology for producing extremely pure mono crystal copper to be used in non-degrading copper cables. After intensively testing the ageing effect, Siltech felt confident to put this revolutionary technology into production, leading to the Explorer Series™. A high-tech jacket comprising a dual layer of Kapton film and Teflon insulation protects the 6N mono crystal copper against magnetic fields, radio frequencies and mechanical influences.

The interconnect cables come in three grades and the loudspeaker cables in two. A power cord, FireWire cable and USB cable complete the series. The Explorer Series™ offers unsurpassed qualities in its class: a large soundstage, fine detail and coloration-free sound over the entire frequency range. These are all benefits of one of the long time Siltech hallmarks: ultra-low distortion. Details are evident in every part of the frequency spectrum without the slightest over-accentuation or harshness. We are confident in having developed a range of very desirable, high-end cables offering an unprecedented quality/price performance. The Explorer Series™ is laser-engraved with a compass and individual serial numbering. : choose your direction!
