Pure By Design
Technical Design
The design choices behind ANTICABLES: solid-core conductors, minimal dielectric material, simple geometry, and carefully selected terminations.
The Design Approach
ANTICABLES is built around a straightforward engineering objective: keep the signal path simple and use only the materials and construction needed for the application.
Solid-Core Conductors
A single solid conductor is used instead of a bundle of individual strands. This is a deliberately simple construction that keeps the conductor continuous along the signal path.
Minimal Dielectric
Insulation is kept to a minimum around the conductor. Where the construction permits, air serves as the primary dielectric rather than surrounding the conductor with thick layers of insulating material.
Straightforward Construction
The cable is designed around the electrical function first. Materials, geometry, and terminations are selected for the particular application rather than added for complexity’s sake.
Signal Path at a Glance
1. Connection
The signal leaves the component through the appropriate RCA, XLR, speaker, digital, or power connection.
2. Conductor
A solid-core conductor carries the signal with minimal dielectric material surrounding it where the design permits.
3. Termination
The selected termination provides the mechanical and electrical connection to the next component in the system.
Design priority: keep each stage purposeful, use only the material the application requires, and avoid adding complexity for its own sake.
Conductor & Dielectric
The conductor and its surrounding dielectric are central to cable design. ANTICABLES minimizes the amount of insulating material around the conductor and uses air as the primary dielectric where practical. The result is a simple construction with less material surrounding the signal conductor.
Connectors & Termination
The connection between components is part of the signal path. ANTICABLES selects terminations according to the cable and application, with an emphasis on secure mechanical connection, appropriate conductive materials, and a straightforward electrical interface.
Connector options vary by product. The goal is consistent: make the termination a reliable part of the overall cable rather than introducing unnecessary complexity.
Break-In
ANTICABLES recommends allowing new cables time in the system before making final listening comparisons. The amount of use required can vary by product and system, so break-in should be treated as a period of normal use rather than a fixed performance guarantee.
Engineering Philosophy
From conductor to connector, the design philosophy is consistent: keep the signal path purposeful, minimize unnecessary material, and build the cable around the electrical requirements of the application.
