Takshaka RCA Interconnect (Pair)

Revolutionary Design for Ultimate Performance

Takshaka features a completely re-engineered “Eddie Twist” configuration, utilizing precise combinations of 24k gold, pure red OFHC copper, and pure silver (never plated) wires, all combined in 4 different size gauge strands. This redesign not only increases surface area of each conductor but also enhances the air dielectric, delivering unmatched clarity, detail and full-body musicality. This innovative design ensures every nuance of your music is captured and transmitted with absolute precision. Whether you're listening to the softest whispers or powerful crescendos, the Takshaka cables immerse you into the very heart of the performance. With approximately 40% more precious metal content than the Signature Series, Snake River Audio has fine-tuned the construction to extract every nuance of performance.

More Than Sound or Music – An Experience
With Takshaka, you’re not just hearing the music — you become part of the musical environment. The soundstage transforms, placing you not just near, but actually within the performance itself. It’s an experience where every instrument, every note, and every breath feels alive around you.

Enhanced Shielding and Power Efficiency
Designed for total signal integrity, the Takshaka interconnects feature double-shielding, while the Takshaka power cables are triple-shielded, blocking interference at every level. With a power cable between 9 and 10 gauge, the Takshaka eliminates the need for separate amplifier power solutions — one cable now powers everything, providing consistency and simplicity without compromise.

Looks That Match the Sound
Takshaka isn’t just about sound; I've also designed it to impress visually. The black exterior features an underlying layer of shimmering gold, giving the cable a subtle sparkle as you move past it. Gold and black carbon-fiber connectors complete the aesthetic, making the cables look as remarkable as they sound. Pictures simply can not do justice to what this cable looks like in-person.

Handcrafted for You, One Cable at a Time
Like every cable from Snake River Audio, the Takshaka cables are handcrafted and custom-built, one at a time, from the bare wire up, for each order. This meticulous approach ensures that every cable is not just a product, but a precision-engineered art masterpiece, tailored to perfection. By crafting every piece individually, Snake River Audio guarantees the highest level of quality control and focus on precision, innovation, and attention to detail, culminating products tailored to true audiophiles who appreciate unmatched audio fidelity and a commitment to excellence. The result? A cable that performs flawlessly and provides a personalized listening experience like no other.

WHY CRYO?
Quick disclaimer: This is a very simplified explanation of the cryogenic process as it applies to electrical components of audio. We know and value the effects this process has on our products. But if you'd like a deeper more detailed explanation, you may have to consult a cryogenicist.

The raw materials used in ANY equipment, whether it's cables or tubes, or razor blades - all contain a harsh degree of residual stress. The process used to make wire itself is very stressful and straining on it's core materials. Then add to it the stresses of manufacturing that wire into a cable, soldering and twisting, etc. A cryogenic treatment relieves these stresses, and allows your equipment to perform above and beyond untreated models of the same. Resistance ratings are lowered and capacitance is improved.

The cryogenic process is well used in the audio world, from components to tubes, to cables, and with good reason. If you've ever seen how wire or some components are made, you can imagine what it's doing to that metal on a molecular level.

A very simplified analogy would be to think of two rows of numbers. The top row has numbers 1 to 5, while the second row goes from 6 to 10. Well, even through all the beating the metal takes, electrons try to stay loyal to the other atoms/molecules where they were connected before. But because everything has been twisted and reconfigured, the electrons might be trying to go from 1 to 7, then up to 2, back to 6, then over to 3, etc. Not a very efficient way to travel. The cryogenic process utilizes liquid nitrogen, and very slowly lowers the temperature of the metals down to 320 degrees BELOW ZERO. It's actually so cold, that the electrons themselves practically quit moving. After being held at that temperature for a time to completely break any bonds those electrons had previously, the metals are then very slowly brought back up to normal temps. The effect that this has, is that when the electrons start moving again, they connect to the atoms/molecules closest and strongest to them, instead of wherever they were connected previously. Now, your electrons go straight from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4, etc. This results in lower capacitance and impedance. A much more efficient piece of conductive metal, which in audio, gives you better performance in your cables.

How does a cryo treated cable compare to an untreated model? Well, don't just take our word on this - feel free to search for yourself. There are many different accounts out there where a cryo treated cable performs better.

• The most common benefits attributed to cryogenically treatments are;
• Much more in-depth, focused three dimensional soundstaging
• Enhanced dynamic range
• Upper range notes are cleaner, more precise with less distortion
• Vocals are much more exact and clear
• Improved bass speed and articulation
