Harmonia Audio carries the whole line of
Daniels 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 Epsilon interconnect is mated with an OFC RCA with teflon
dielectric and demonstrates the full potential of our design. It
offers superb time performance in all areas and is extremely affordable.
In addition to the use of OFC connectors, the cables aggregate
gauge is slightly increased, giving it the ability to drive very
low impedance loads easily. The cables outer jacket is replaced
by a tightly fitted nonmicrophonic polyolefin tubing in order to
minimize transmission of mechanical vibrations.
