Very good condition and full working order.\u003cbr\u003e\nBlack Rhodium Said….\u003cbr\u003e\nBlack Rhodium announces the launch of the Cratos mains power cable. Designed for low ‘Transient Phase Distortion' by increasing the thickness of the inner insulation to 1.2mm. The benefit of thicker insulation is that when two electrical conductors carry an electrical current, the magnetic field produced by the current in one conductor affects the resistance of the other conductor. This is known as the ‘Proximity Effect'. Because the loudspeaker load is reactive, the current and voltage in the speaker cable are not in phase and the modulation effect produces a ‘Transient Phase Distortion' signal that distorts sound quality.\u003cbr\u003e\nBy moving the conductors 2.4mm from each other, the magnetic field (which reduces inversely proportionally to the distance) on the other cable is lowered and the ‘Transient Phase Distortion' is less audible. This effect can easily be observed when listening to complex musical signals such as massed choirs and large orchestras.\u003cbr\u003e\nCratos is designed for high power amplifiers and power distribution systems and has a continuous current capacity of 15 amps.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe positive and negative cores are connected in opposite directions. Experience shows that when cables are connected this way (and both cables are connected in the same direction) the noise floor between the musical notes lowers. This gives ‘blacker' silences in the interval between musical notes and enhances reproduction of the musical edges and natural decays in music.\u003cbr\u003e\nSilicone rubber insulation is used because its low dielectric loss ensures extremely low distortion due to dielectric absorption effects in which sound energy is absorbed in the insulation and released at a later interval of time to create highly audible time-smearing distortion.\u003cbr\u003e\nFeatures:\u003cbr\u003e\nCable manufactured in England\u003cbr\u003e\n5A rating suitable for source equipment and low power amplifiers\u003cbr\u003e\n3 core 16 x 0.2mm tinned copper conductors, insulated to UK colour code, twisted for superior noise rejection\u003cbr\u003e\nLow impedance high cross section conductor wire for superior low frequency response and stereo imaging\u003cbr\u003e\nSilicone rubber insulation for accurate portrayal of the leading edges and decays in music\u003cbr\u003e\nTwisted internally along the length of the cable to prevent the loop \"aerial\" effect to prevent audible distortion to sound quality\u003cbr\u003e\nDesigned for low ‘Transient Phase Distortion' by increasing the thickness of the inner insulation to 1.2mm\u003cbr\u003e\nOverall Diameter 9mm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"2ndhandhifi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51193897451861,"sku":"951520","price":65.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/1094\/5365\/files\/IMG_7632-scaled_51d990ab-a21f-4fce-b486-d435b87707fa.jpg?v=1753889769","url":"https:\/\/2ndhandhifi.co.uk\/products\/black-rhodium-cratos-mains-cable-1-5m","provider":"2ndhandhifi.co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
