Extremely low capacitance and interference rejecting geometries allow us to do away with shielding. Eliminating the shield noticeably opens up the sound. Physics buffs understand that a signal traversing a conductor carries a portion of its energy in the field surrounding that conductor. The use of a shield is like a brick wall around this field, limiting its ability to expand and contract with the AC waveform. Some cables are so focused at rejecting rare interference that they often interfere with the signal themselves. In situations where shielding isn’t essential, you will get a better result with an unshielded cable.

Assembly

Each pair of conductors is cut from successive lengths off the spool. While most spools of wire are relatively consistent, there are always minor variations from the beginning to the end of a roll. This variance does not result in a balance change, but it can flatten soundstage. Silver Pulse is hand-assembled in small quantities to ensure that each pair is closely matched. Finally, meticulous silver-solder welds are put in place by our skilled assemblers during termination.
