In 1982 Sony gave us Perfect sound forever, along with the attitude that,
its just digital, so all CD players sound the same. That was disproved and
qualitative differences between players became accepted truth. Next came
separate transport and DAC combos, which brought with it the attitude that
all S/PDIF digital audio cables sound the same until that too became
disproved. Now the frontier has moved once again. Is digital audio really just
ones and zeros? We dont believe so, and once youve had a chance to listen to
Pearl USB, you wont think so either SOLID LONG-GRAIN COPPER (LGC)
CONDUCTORS: Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion. Pearls
solid Long-Grain Copper allows a smoother and clearer sound than cables using
regular OFHC (Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity) copper. OFHC is a general metal
industry specification regarding loss without any concern for distortion.
LGC has fewer oxides within the conducting material, less impurities, less
grain boundaries, and definitively better performance. FOAMED-POLYETHYLENE
INSULATION: Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an
imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb
energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion.
Pearl USB uses air-filled Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation because air absorbs
next to no energy and Polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion
profile. Thanks to all the air in Foamed-PE, it causes much less of the out-
of-focus effect common to other materials. TERMINATIONS: Precision gold-plated
plugs are carefully attached with the very best solder. Through choice of flux
and metallurgy, AQ solder has been optimized to make a low-distortion
connection. The difference you hear between solders is a result of connection
quality. AQ solder does not have a high silver content because the more silver
there is in solder, the more difficult it is to make a good connection.
