VH Audio is pleased to announce the immediate availability of this new speaker cable, developed by VH Audio. This will ONLY be offered for DIY, as it is too laborious to make and market for a reasonable price. A "finished" speaker cable is still undergoing R&D, and we hope to be able to offer by mid-winter.
This speaker cable is made of 48 individually insulated 24 AWG copper conductors (ultra-pure, oxygen free) that are insulated with VH Audio's AirLok™ dielectric. The AirLok dielectric has a dielectric constant of less than 1.5 and has extremely low dielectric absorption. The 48 conductors are braided in a proprietary "Counter Helical Litz Array™" geometry (CHeLA™) around a core containing many individual strands of unbleached cotton. Deep Cryogenic treatment, using a proprietary process developed in conjunction with VH Audio. Cable is custom made to VH Audio's specifications, and is ONLY available at VH Audio.
Preparing the bulk cable for termination is easy, but can be time consuming, as the last 6-8 inches of each end of the cable must be de-braided, separated into "positive" and "negative" legs, trimmed to equal lengths, strip about 3/4" of insulation, twisted into pigtails, and trimmed once again before termination into your favorite banana, spade, or even a bare wire connection directly to your component. Sounds easy? It is, but it takes patience and time.
Roger Gordon's 2005 Rocky Mountain Audio Fest report noted the Rhino Acoustics/ Vacuum State setup "was easily the best sound that I had heard at the show". This was the speaker cabling used when Vacuum State's amps were connected.
Approximate O.D. of the cable is 3/4"or 19mm.
Approximate combined size for 24 conductors of each "leg" is 11 AWG.
* Approximate LCR measurements (per ft.): Ls = .011 uH, Cs = 230 pF, DCR = 1.35 milliohms
Limited quantity is available!* Measured with a Quadtech 1920 LCR meter
