Extraordinary design techniques, air insulation, truly superior PSC+ copper, and an aerospace connection system combine to make Anaconda possible. Whether used single ended (RCA plugs) or balanced (XLR plugs), Anaconda is exceptional for having almost no sound of its own.
Design Basics: Anaconda is Triple-Balanced. This means there are three identical pairs of insulated conductors, in addition to four separate conductors over the 100% coverage foil shield. When used with XLR connectors and balanced electronics, the two positive signals (inverting and non-inverting) and the negative, all get the same low distortion conducting path. The shield is attached to chassis ground through the case of the XLR, providing extremely effective shielding without contaminating the quality of the negative conducting path. When Anaconda is fitted with RCA plugs, two conductor pairs are used together for the much higher potential across the negative connection, providing a substantial performance advantage. The shield is only attached at one end, providing total shield coverage without compromising the negative conducting path.
Conductors: All of Anaconda's conductors are solid. Electrical and magnetic interaction between strands in a conventional cable is the greatest source of distortion, often causing a somewhat dirty harsh sound. Solid conductors are fundamental toward achieving Anaconda's very clean sound.
Metal: PSC+ (Perfect Surface Copper+) has an astonishingly smooth and pure surface. Proprietary metal processing technology protects the wire's surface at every stage of drawing and fabrication. When high-purity low-oxide copper is kept as soft, pure and smooth as possible, it becomes a wonderfully low distortion PSC conductor. PSC+ is manufactured by applying the same exceptional technology to an ultra pure copper. The resulting sound quality is even more focused and simply less in-the-way. For fifteen years AudioQuest has pioneered the use of superior metals; yet even we were surprised by the huge leap in performance made possible with Perfect Surface Technology. PSC+ simply outperforms all previously available metals at any price.
Insulation: Three Teflon and three Polyethylene (PE) tubes are used instead of conventional insulation because any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation, circuit board materials all absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Polyethylene is a low loss dielectric (insulation in a circuit) with a benign distortion profile. Teflon is an extremely low loss dielectric with a slightly obnoxious distortion profile. Air absorbs next to no energy, so air is hardly a dielectric at all, causing virtually no distortion. Since the inner diameter of the Teflon and PE tubes is much larger than the outer diameter of the metal conductor, the metal only touches the tubes in a single line. The conductors are almost perfectly insulated with air. However, the tube material is still close enough to slightly compromise performance. The character of PE is a gentle softening, a subtractive distortion. The character of Teflon is a slight harshness, an additive distortion. So even while Teflon allows for more detail and ambient information than PE, it comes at a price. Anaconda's delicately finessed combination of larger PSC+ conductors inside the three PE tubes, and smaller PSC+ conductors inside the three Teflon tubes, provides nearly all the clarity and dynamic advantages of Teflon, while essentially maintaining all the naturalness and ease of PE. Unprecedented insulation technology provides unprecedented performance.
Terminations: Anaconda's plugs are Resistance Welded to the cable in a process which sends 8,000 amperes of current through the junction of conductor and plug for 33 millionths of a second. The heat resulting from the resistance of the metals locally liquefies the conductor and the plug, creating a single material alloy where the two meet. An ideal connection that puts any solder to shame.
Anaconda's thickly silver-plated FPC copper RCA plugs use a patented design that eliminates the distortion caused by the extra contact inside most plugs. In both Anaconda's RCA and XLR connectors, the connection pieces are all made with FPC copper, a continuously cast copper with seriously better performance than even the highest copper content brass. Other pure coppers do not have the mechanical strength to be used in plugs. Silver is thickly plated directly over the FPC copper, without the intermediary nickel layer common to almost all other plugs. Silver plating provides the best possible connection, regardless of plating on the equipment jacks.
A combination of these major ingredients, and many more subtle details add up to explain how Anaconda's extraordinary performance is made possible. |
