Dalby Audio Design DAL-320S Silver / Copper Multistrand Cable
After working with Lee Dalby from Dalby Audio Design for years, we are proud to announce that we now have their amazing cables on offer, 2 versions aimed at the signal cable market.
The smaller-diameter version is intended for interconnect cable use. The DAL-320S is composed of 20 strands of 0.32mm diameter, pure silver, with a surface over soft-annealed, oxygen-free copper. Double wrapped in fine dark blue/black silk for insulation – lovely. This holds 20 conductors in a spiral. Silk has excellent dielectric properties, thereby enhancing performance.
To be clear this is not a silver-plated cable, which is why this cable is so interesting. Effectively, when the wire is drawn, the pure silver forms an outer sheath over the soft, annealed pure copper. So in effect, the silver covering is thicker than a silver plate. The silver-copper fusion hasn't been subjected to the conditions required for plating; this can only be a positive thing.
This premium-grade, hybrid silver/copper multistrand cable gives a smooth yet effortless sound while retaining the speed, detail, and dynamics of pure silver. Dalby Audio Design recommends adding a silk sleeve to the cable to maximise its potential. The character of both cables is musical. Scale, tone, and detail are abundant.
