SILVER LINE MK2
Interconnect cables Featuring our
'Time Aligned' conductor design.
INTRO: Sonic Art SILVER
LINE cables were a culmination of 2 years of research & testing back in
1994 into signal transfer, metallurgy and design along with a lot of listening!
Our cables are a well engineered bargain featuring some of the best materials
and construction methods available, with the majority of our budget put into
the product where it should be, the benefits going to the end user.
NEW IN 2023! SILVER
LINE MK2 has finally been released after much testing over the covid years. The
design has undergone transformation utilising design tech from the Reference
series cable to create a new killer budget interconnect that belies its humble
origins. Some of the comments from the testers of this new cable included…
“are you going to redesign the REFERENCE
Series now? As this new SILVER LINE is getting very close in performance”
• Why choose Silver? Because it offers excellent conductivity, and if the metallurgy is
correct, a sweet and detailed sound.
• Why Silver & Copper? Pure Silver is soft, it requires impure metals for strength and can
often sound bright and thin when combined with the most common hardeners.
Combine it with Hi purity copper and you have the best of both worlds.
• An audio signal is what? It is a collection of electrical signals of varying frequencies, and
the basic idea of a cable is to provide a path for this signal which DOES NOT ALTER the signal. DESIGN centred on physics principles
of electrical conductivity combined with complete purity of metallurgy
is I feel, a logical way to provide this path.
• Why choose TEFLON? Dielectric quality is an important factor when designing cable. The
lowest loss insulator available is VIRGIN PTFE (Pressure Cast TEFLON), Teflon unfortunately is also the most
expensive, which you could surmise is why many manufacturers avoid using it.
Our TEFLON is the highest MILSPEC grade available and
exhibits the lowest signal loss of any insulator besides air.
• SOLDER:
We use a MilSpec Silver Solder or CARDAS
Quad Eutectic Silver Solder. These are manufactured specifically for
termination of Silver wire. If you attempt to solder silver with regular
Tin/Lead solders you get absorption of silver particles causing poor joint
performance and degradation of signal. MilSpec & Cardas Silver solder is
designed to suppress silver absorption from the surface of the silver wire
leaving a joint that is pure and provides the best conductivity from solder
possible.
NOTE:
Where we use Polyester or PE sheathing over our cables, it is purely for Anti
Static &/or dressing properties and is not a structural part of the cable.
Have you ever noticed how cable
manufacturer’s have a range of much cheaper models, all slotted in under their
most expensive ‘Flagship” cable? We on the other hand produce one
model of RCA and Speaker Cable, and one
All Sonic Art cables are hand assembled in
Our cables produce a smooth transparent soundstage
with excellent detail, placement and depth, a lack of harshness and grain
immediately noticeable. Pace, rhythm and timing are a key factor to an exciting
enveloping musical experience, Sonic Art cables give you just that!
