This natural, unbleached cotton insulated silver wire of either .9999 purity or .99999 purity UniCrystal™ OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) silver. Our process draws the wire to physical tolerances at least five times tighter than many other wire manufacturers. This high purity dead-soft annealed silver wire is insulated with four alternating layers of natural (unbleached) cotton insulation. The individual fibers make minimal microscopic contact with the surface area of the silver, meaning less dielectric absorption... * Cotton has an excellent dielectric constant of 1.3 to 1.4, which is even LOWER than foamed PE (1.6). Cotton's vibration dampening and non-resonant properties are also very desirable. VH Audio is pleased to offer this wire to the DIY community in pre-packaged spools of 25 or 250 feet. This wire is perfect for the VenHaus DIY Silver IC recipe. Sorry, we cannot not cut to length- it must be ordered by the spool. Total O.D. with cotton insulation for the 28 AWG is less than .04".
* Source for the dielectric constant of cotton are the various DC charts published on the internet.
Want the PERFECT tubing for Chris VenHaus' DIY Silver IC recipe. The VH Audio HyperFlex™ tubing is a proprietary formulation of porous fluoropolymer with an extremely low specific gravity and dielectric constant. The result is a tubing that is as flexible as spaghetti, with a D.C. of less than 1.3. By comparison, the dielectric constant of solid fluoropolymers, such as DuPont™
PTFE, FEP, and, PFA (referred to as Teflon®, when licensed from DuPont) is 2.1. A perfect vacuum is 1.0. Cross sectional rigidity is still maintained for excellent "anchor" when terminating to your favorite RCA connector. I recommend 1/2" heatshrink over the very end of the tubing, so the RCA housing screws of the Eichmann Bullets or WBT NextGens will "bite" into the heatshrink (rather than the wire).

ITEM! The VH Audio Spectrum Cu analog interconnect cable is a minimalist twisted pair design that uses a single 28 AWG solid pure copper wire (Deep Cryogenically treated) for the signal and ground/return conductors. These fine-wire conductors are insulated with VH Audio's AirLok™ dieletric, a proprietary form of foamed/cellular Fluoropolymer insulation with a dieletric constant (D.C.) of less than 1.45. Natural unbleached cotton, PTFE tape and a proprietary ultra-flexible jacket are used to buffer mechanical resonances, as well as provide flexibility and durability that will rival any commercially made interconnect. The Spectrum Cu analog interconnect is recommended for any analog RCA interconnect application that requires a cable of less than 3 meters. Given the small AWG return/ground conductor, longer lengths than 3.0 meters may result in a ground loop with some equipment. This cable mates very well with Gold Bullet RCA connectors. Just add some 1/4" techflex, and use a small piece of 3/16" X 5/16" clear vinyl tubing (available at Home Depot) for strain relief for a professional, finished look. Cable O.D. is .18"
Bulk price discounts on this cable are applied when you add to the cart. Quantity breakpoint pricing applies at 2 meters (20% off 1 meter pricing) and 6 meters (10% off 2-5 meter pricing).
The VH Audio Pulsar miniature coaxial cable is designed for use with both analog and digital interconnects. This bulk wire utilizes a FINE (28 AWG), SINGLE high-purity BARE copper center conductor, surrounded by a solid FEP dielectric. The Pulsar is also double shielded with foil and a SILVER-plated copper braid. The silver plated braid adds the benefit of a low impedance path to ground, and preserves the high-end "sparkle" missing in many copper-based analog IC's. The use of the fine gauge BARE copper center conductor eliminates the brightness found in many silver plated copper designs. Outside diameter is only .118", and the cable is quite flexible. Capacitance = 19.0 pF per foot. Deep Cryogenically treated. Click for more details or Read Reviews

ITEM! VH Audio is very pleased to announce the Pulsar Ag. The Pulsar Ag is the culmination of nearly 6 years worth of R&D effort to make a 75 ohm SPDIF digital cable that would set a new bar for digital performance. As a result, the Pulsar Ag is VH Audio's Statement design for true 75 ohm digital SPDIF applications, and its use for shielded analog interconnects is so profoundly good- it will compete favorably with ANY shielded interconnect on the market, regardless of price.
At the core of the Pulsar Ag is VH Audo's UniCrystal™ 24 AWG .999997+ purity SOLID OCC Silver conductor, manufactured using the OCC process (Ohno Continuous Cast). This process results in a conductor that is essentially a single crystal, without the typical grain boundaries found when processed with conventional methods. The UniCrystal™ silver wire is then annealed to a dead soft state (in an inert nitrogen atmosphere), further improving sonic performance. Next, VH Audio's prorietary AirLok™ dielectric is applied as the core, in order to achieve the correct, precise impedance of 75 ohms. In fact, this step is performed with such precision that 2-3X the finished length of cable may end up as "scrap" during the production process, as the AirLok™ is "dialed-in" to the correct parameters. The AirLok™ dielectric is VH Audio's proprietary form of foamed/cellular Fluoropolymer that achieves a dielectric coefficient of 1.4. By comparison, the dielectric constant of solid fluoropolymers, such as DuPont™
PTFE, FEP, and, PFA (referred to as Teflon®, when licensed from DuPont) is 2.1. A perfect vacuum is 1.0. A foil shield is applied over the AirLok™ core, followed by a shielding braid of 40 AWG silver-plated OFHC copper. Lastly, a very thin clear FEP jacket is applied.
Outside diameter is only .110", and the cable is quite light and flexible. Capacitance = 16.7 pF per foot. QUANTITY DISCOUNTS APPLY FOR LENGTHS GREATER THAN 1 METER.

ITEM! The VH Audio Symmetry Cu balanced analog (XLR) or digital (AES/EBU) interconnect cable is a minimalist twisted pair design that uses a single 24 AWG solid pure copper wire (Deep Cryogenically treated) for the signal conductors. These 24 AWG copper conductors are insulated with solid FEP insualtion, in order to maintain precise spacing and prevent deformation of insulation when the cable is bent. This means the ideal 110 ohm impedance will stay consistent, even for longer runs and awkward or tight bends. Natural unbleached cotton, PTFE tape and a proprietary ultra-flexible core material are used to buffer mechanical resonances, as well as provide flexibility. The inner core of the cable has been designed to space away the interconnect's shield/ground (foil and silver plated copper) from the critical signal carrying conductors. The Symmetry Cu interconnect is recommended for any analog balanced (XLR) or or digital (AES/EBU) application. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED with Furutech FP-601M and FP-602F connectors (We like gold for analog and rhodium for digital). Just add some 3/8" techflex for a professional look. Cable O.D. is .36"
Bulk price discounts on this cable are applied when you add to the cart. Quantity breakpoint pricing applies at 2 meters (20% off 1 meter pricing) and 6 meters (10% off 2-5 meter pricing).

ITEM! VH Audio CHeLA Speaker cable (in bulk), now available with pure, solid OCC Copper conductors!
The CHeLA OCC speaker cable is made of 48 individually insulated 24 AWG SOLID OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) copper conductors that are insulated with VH Audio's AirLok™ dielectric. VH Audio's AirLok™ dielectric is a proprietary form of foamed/cellular Fluoropolymer that has a dielectric constant of LESS than 1.5 and an extremely low dielectric absorption. The 48 OCC copper conductors are braided into VH Audio's Counter Helical Litz ArrayTM geometry (C.He.L.A.) around a core containing strands of unbleached cotton. This special self-shielding speaker cable geometry results in very low inductance (.011 uH*), reasonable capacitance (230 pF*), and low DCR (1.35 milliohms per foot*). Additionally, the CHeLA geometry results in more symmetrical field interaction between strands vs. conventional braided designs. Aggregate AWG for each grouping of 24 conductors is 11 AWG, and approximate cable diameter is 3/4"
Preparing the bulk cable for termination is easy, but will take some effort to debraid the last several inches, to form into +/- pigtails. To terminate into your favorite connector, the last 6-8 inches of each end of the cable must be de-braided, separated into "positive" and "negative" legs (blue and white) and trimmed to equal lengths. Then strip about 3/4" of insulation, twist into pigtails, and trim once again before terminating into your favorite connectors. The entire project should take about two hours.
Roger Gordon's Rocky Mountain Audio Fest report noted the Rhino Acoustics/ Vacuum State setup "was easily the best sound that I had heard at the show". The OFHC version of the CHeLA speaker cabling was used when Vacuum State's amps were connected.
Limited quantity is available, and pricing is subject to change, as copper prices continue to skyrocket!
