Below is the info from the Star Sound site: Plateau Series Featuring the Conductive Micro-Bearing Steel Shield
Vibration consistently creates inefficiencies on and within any product. Picture a cable as a lengthy antenna made up of "resonance conductive" materials (copper, aluminum, silver, etc.) guaranteed to attract and transfer energy to and from all the components of the system. The result is unwanted vibration patterns that continue to propagate, regenerate and multiply while traveling along its path.
Our studies and research clearly dictate that the "air-borne" resonance factors stand out as being the most detrimental element relating to cable's ability to sound musical and appear visually cleaner and truer to color. Vibration also effects the speed at which the signal content passes.
Internal resonance is also built up from the electrons simply passing along the conductor. The use of dielectric materials (insulating material used to separate adjacent conductors such as air, liquids, Teflon, polypropylene, polystyrene, etc.) can develop stray capacitance and/or even promote static charge build up.
Introducing a shield type of flexible fluid like cold-rolled steel in addition to the quad shields already in place has improved immensely the overall effect of Sonoran's intense performance. The dense molecular of Micro-Bearing Steel's and its uniform grain is used to establish an inert field which dissipates mechanical and electromechanical resonance, including both external (air-borne) as well as internal patterns. The result is increased dynamics, speed and efficiency.
The PLATEAU Series pricing remains extremely affordable by any audiophile's standard. Always being compared to the sonic capability of cable costing into the thousands of dollars, Plateau is always reviewed as true-value by any measure.
