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 soundstaging. 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 Epsilon speaker cable is designed to drive low-impedance loads; its aggregate gauge is increased to 13 AWG, and thus offers less resistive losses than the alpha cable. It comes with a black polyolefin jacket. Specifications:
