The D - 501 SILVER HYBRID is a special version of our D - 501 HYBRID. The main difference compared to the D - 501 HYBRID is that its both stranded signal lines are made of highest grade Matched Crystal Silver.
This mat black HULLIFLEX ® jacketed balanced cable was designed to support the tone-arm and mixing console industry: very flexible and with extremely good electrical qualities. The D - 501 SILVER HYBRID is a cable with a very high shielding factor.
Sonically this is one of the best cables in our program.
The D - 501 SILVER HYBRID is regularly used as a microphone cable in critical professional recordings and as a special product for SME in England together with their prestigious tonearms which on customer request can be fit with this silver version of the D - 501 HYBRID.
■The 2 signal lines are made each of 19 x 0.1 mm. highest grade Matched Crystal Silver strands.
■The signal line insulation with the colours white and red is made of cell-PE, so the stripping can even be done with your fingernails to prevent damage of the silver strands commonly caused by mechanical stripping.
■The resistance per signal lead is: 11.9 Ohm/100 meter.
■The capacitance between the 2 signal leads is a very low 58 pF/meter.
■The hybrid shielding consists of a dense and very pure silver coated high grade Matched Crystal (MC) OFC 72 x 0.1 mm. wire helix with underneath a Linear Structured Carbon ® (LSC) saturated conductive sub-jacket.
■The resistance of the shielding is: 3.2 Ohm/100 meter.
■The very flexible black outer jacket is made of migration-free HULLIFLEX ® to prevent any chemical deterioration over a long period.
■The type printing repeats every 25 cm. (10") to make cutting of specified lengths easy.
■The external cable diameter is: 4.0 mm.
It's never been to late to start, Race.
I heard the Audio Research Ref Phono 2 SE sound magnificent.
If I am not getting the MSB first, this will be my next target by this Christmas.
