It’s All About the Music: Chastity Brown of Minneapolis, MN

Chastity Brown Banner WidePaul Speltz, President of ANTICABLES talks about Chastity Brown, a musician from his home state of Minnesota, USA.

Since the point of putting together a great sounding system is to enhance your music experience, we would like to share some of our favorite recorded music with you each month.

I have had the opportunity to experience two Chastity Brown live performances in the past couple of years, and even had the opportunity to chat with her. I’ll let the below snippet of her own bio give you the short pitch:

Throw all genres and hyphenates together you want to describe her – indie, roots & soul, rock, blues & country – they are alright, and also not enough. Chastity Brown writes songs that are carried deep in the American psyche, the hunger, desperation and confidence that runs through our times.

chastityBetter than words to describe her magic, here is a youtube live concert that is hi-rez enough to watch full-screen: The Lowertown Line: Chastity Brown.

Chastity is a local musician from ANTICABLES home state, but tours all over including upcoming performances in Chicago, NYC, and Europe. Her current upper-midwest tour is with Ani DiFranco. Dates can be seen HERE.

If you are not able to experience Chastity live, this is the CD to buy: Back​-​Road Highways.

ANTICABLES Lab: 6.2 Digital ICs Innovation

62RCASNEWPRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
– Keith Louis Eichmann ABSOLUTE-Harmony RCA Plugs
– ACElectrum™ Silver/Gold alloy signal conductors
– Delineated Weave™ configuration
– Optional 150 hour Burn-in treatment
– Optional Cryo & Burn-in treatment
– 30 day risk free trial

CORE DESIGN PRINCIPLES
The ANTICABLES Level 6.2 ABSOLUTE Signature Digital RCA 75 Ohm Interconnect use the newest Keith Louis Eichmann’s Absolute-Harmony RCA Plugs, which we believe are the best sounding RCA plugs in the world. These RCA plugs are so much better then Mr. Eichmann’s PURE-Harmony plugs, we were inspired to push our technology to the maximum to match their musical ability.

NEW CABLE TOPOLOGIES
Instead of using the red coated elongated coil copper wire to serve as both the returning ground wire and the shield wire (as with our other digital cable designs), these RCA Digital Interconnect uses two additional ACElectrum™ Silver/Gold Alloy wires as the return signal path. The three signal carrying wires are then woven in our Delineated Weave™ configuration.

In addition, the woven signal wires are protected by our new DoubleBack™ shielding configuration. The red colored elongated coil copper wire serves only as the shield wire. It provides twice as many shielding loops per inch then normal, and sinks the noise back to the sourcing component’s ground, instead of sending it forward towards the input of the receiving component.

MUSICALLY
This configuration provides an even greater picture of each instrument in the recording, and the harmonic beauty of the music. There is better focus and less digital artifacts.
