In the simplest sense, wind is air in motion produced by the uneven heatingof the Earths surface by the sun. Because our planet is made of various landand water formations, from the severe heights of K2 to the placid Chicago River,it absorbs the suns radiation unevenly, creating differences in air pressureand the ensuing movement of air from high-pressure areas to lower ones. Wind isalso one of our most valuable natural resources: As an alternative to fossilfuels, wind is plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean, produces nogreenhouse gas emissions, and uses little land. While wind power may be moreimportant today than ever before, it is by no means a new concept.Representations of ships under sail date as far back as 5500 B.C., whilewindmills may have been first used in Persia in 200 B.C. Among the classicalelements, winds close relative, air, is pure, powerful, and fundamentallyimportant to life. In Japanese philosophy, wind is a symbol of all things thatgrow, expand, and enjoy freedom of movement, in some ways best represented bythe human mind. People born under the astrological signs of Gemini, Libra, andAquarius are thought to have dominant air personalities, marked by kindness andsocial grace. Of course, wind itself may be the most graceful of all elements.It fans the flames of our deepest passions, dances atop the surfaces of ourlongest rivers, sings in the rustling of the largest leaves, and carves itsinitials into our mightiest rocks. The physical effect is often astounding: Fromthe forever-swirling formations of Coyote Buttes in Utah, to the sculptedcypress trees seemingly frozen in time along Californias coast, wind holds aplace as one of natures most masterful artists.
SOLID PERFECT-SURFACE SILVER (PSS) CONDUCTORS:
Solid conductors prevent both strand-to-strand contacts and magneticinteraction, major sources of distortion. Surface quality is critical because aconductor can be considered as a rail-guide for both the electric fields withina conductor, and for the magnetic fields outside the conductor. While lessperfectly processed silver can have the same irritating tweeter-in-your-facesound as silver-plated strands, PSS Silvers smooth surface, extraordinarilycareful processing, and high purity, deliver sound as smooth and beautiful asour PSC+ Copper, but with significantly higher resolution.
DIELETRIC-BIAS SYSTEM (DBS, US Pat S 7,126,055 & 7,872,195 B1):
Creates a strong, stable electrostatic field which saturates and polarizes(organizes) the molecules of the insulation. This dramatically reducesdielectric induced smearing of the signal, letting sound emerge from a blackbackground.
CARBON-BASED 6-LAYER NOISE-DISSIPATION (NDS):
Shields-the-shield, reducing RFI contamination of the equipment ground plane.
FEP AIR-TUBES (FEP IS A NOTABLY INERT FLUORO-POLYMER):
Almost no contact between conductors and insulation reduces smearing andpreserves dynamics.
TRIPLE-BALANCED GEOMETRY:
Proper ground-reference conductor prevents using the shield as an inferiorground-reference conductor.
Cold-welded, hanging-silver plating directly over high-purity red copper plugs.
DIRECTIONS:
Because all drawn metal is directional, all audio cables are directional.AudioQuest analog and digital audio cables are all controlled for correctdirectionality. For the best sound, please use the cable with the arrowspointing from source to receiver or component.
