SOLDPRICE - $475.00[/color][/size]Stealth Audio VR (Vacuum Ribbon) Speaker Cables – Made in the U.S.A.
2 meter pair in very good condition a couple of the Heat Shrink letters are a little worn off, but nothing that effects them.
This pair is terminated in the ultra light gold plated beryllium copper Z-banana plugs as seen in photos.
Specifications:
The flat solid core VR conductors are made of custom 99.997% pure silver (certified purity silver).
The Silver ribbons are twisted and suspended in the dielectric via a vacuum process with Helium* so these cables are “Sealed” in the tube. However, they keep an extremely flexible and light cable for ease of connection.
This silver material is custom made for us, then tested for purity and certified. A stereo set (not bi-wire) of these cables consists of 4 separate cables: two go to the right loudspeaker, and two go to the left one. Using two separate cables per speaker is better than using two cables in one common jacket because for a given type of cables, this configuration offers MUCH lower capacitance, and thus increased bandwidth, and the stability of power amps (unstable amplifiers sound harsh).
The "wire" used to make VR cables is solid 99.9% pure silver, flat single core conductor 1/8 inch wide and 0.01 inch thick. In VR, no real dielectric is used - at least, in the conventional sense: the silver ribbon is just inserted into a flexible (but strong) transparent outer jacket 1/4 OD, and covered with semitransparent black mesh for strength; the tube is filled with Helium* and then hermetically sealed, so the flat silver wire is surrounded by very light and absolutely chemically inert gas. When such construction is measured, the dielectric constant is equal to approximately 15-fold vacuum (1.001 versus pure vacuum 1.000 and (the closest up) solid Teflon being 2.2 to 2.5 depending on the Teflon type (all other known solid dielectric have higher constants; the closer the dielectric constant to 1.000 - the better for the sound because low dielectric constant means low energy storage, which offer fast transients and the lowest distortion).
They are technically and audibly some of the smoothest, fastest, transparent, and most balanced speaker cables one can obtain.
