Harmonia Audio carries the whole line of Daniel’s Audio cables. They use skilled craftsmen to manufacture the cables; only the tape wrapping is automated to ensure that electrical characteristics do not vary from cable to cable. The cables are balanced, silver plated oxygen free copper (OFC) Litz conductors, with fluoropolymer dielectrics in a twisted pair configuration. True Litz construction ensures very consistent inductance and resistance from D.C. to well beyond audio frequencies, and makes for a cable with extremely flat frequency and phase response. Since the aberrations in the frequency and time domain are minimized due to the elimination of skin effects, pulse response is improved when compared to conventional construction. This results in the music having a more natural harmonic balance and improved sound-staging. The bass is thus deeper, faster, and articulated. The mids are detailed and airy. The treble is extended and smooth. The soundstage is open with good image specificity. All of the above is attained without a loose, boomy mid bass, or a shrill, ringing high end. The twisted pair configuration minimizes magnetic leakage and pickup. This allows for the use of unshielded cable in most applications. (In unbalanced applications, shielding results in a slight high-frequency roll-off because of the increased capacitance given by the shield.) The Alpha speaker cable is a 15 AWG cable offering virtually identical performance to the Epsilon cable on speakers with reasonably high impedance. This cable offers superior bass extension, dynamic contrast and soundstaging, with an extended and smooth top end. The cables are terminated with 1/4" high conductivity copper spade lug or 5/64" x 5/8" OFC pins. (A nonmagnetic gold plating is used on either option.) It comes with a black braided polyester jacket.
