Wildcat is sure to help you dig deep into your favorite records. Selected metals, exact geometry, and low-distortion insulation offer significant improvements over almost any standard phono cable.
SOLID PERFECT SURFACE COPPER (PSC) CONDUCTORS: Perfect-Surface Copper has a surprisingly smooth and pure surface. Patented metal processing technology protects the cable surface at every stage of drawing and fabrication. When high-purity low-purity copper is kept as soft, pure, and smooth as possible, it becomes a wonderfully low-distortion conductor. For more than 30 years AudioQuest has pioneered the use of higher metals; however, we were even surprised by this huge jump in performance. PSC clearly outperforms previous AQ metals that cost more than ten times as much. The electrical and magnetic interaction between wires in conventional cable is the biggest source of distortion, often causing a somewhat dirty and harsh sound.
POLYETHYLENE AIR TUBE INSULATION: Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. All wire insulation materials and circuit boards absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. All Wildcat conductors use PE air tubing insulation because air absorbs almost no energy and polyethylene has little loss and has a benign distortion profile. PE air tubing insulation causes much less of the unfocused effect common to other materials.
TERMINATIONS: Wildcat gold-plated RCA plugs use a proprietary design that eliminates distortion caused by extra contact inside most plugs. Because ground shells are stamped rather than machined, the metal can be chosen for low distortion rather than machinability. A combination of these main ingredients and many more subtle details add up to explain how Wildcat can sound so clean, clear and dynamic.
