Manufacturer's Description:
Copper lovers will rejoice to the sound
of pure copper suspended in an Actively Shielded Air Dielectric.
Strong and powerful with rich harmonics and excellent soundstaging;
these are the traits copper brings to the Element Series.
Listening notes and findings from our
exhaustive 6 month blind listening tests reveal Element Copper to be an
excellent cable for audiophiles and music lovers who prize PRAT with
strong BASS; a cable suitable for nearly all systems and components,
Element Copper outperforms our previous top of the line interconnects
(aside from our Galileo System IC’s) at a fraction of the price.
Enigma Tuning Bullets
As with all Element Series cables start
with Grey Enigma Tuning Bullets first and allow the cable to settle in
for at least 48 hours before experimenting with Silver and Black
tuning options. If after 48 hours you wish to open up the sound field
and upper registers substitute Silver bullets or if your system
requires more warmth, try listening with the Black bullets.
