The company recently unveiled a new product range – the result of years of engineering to push the boundaries of improving sound quality and technology. The Classic Legend offers three different models within the series: 380, 680, and 880, including interconnects, speakers, and power cables.
The cables feature the new G9 silver-gold conductors and Siltech's 3-layer high-tech insulation which, together with the improved “super silent” shielding, increase the already superior quality that audiophiles have come to expect from a Siltech cable, the company stated.
According to the press release, the engineering team achieved a massive improvement in technology, sound quality and accurate timing, using improved metallurgy G9 alloy in up to 2 times bigger conductors, 1.5 times more insulation and new super silent shielding.
G9 is the 9th generation of Siltech’s proprietary silver-gold alloy, the latest in a long line starting with the G1 which was a 99.99% pure solid silver wire found in the first cables. Silver boasts the best conductivity of any metal, and this actually improves over time. The new G9 wire alloys silver and gold together, to fill in the micro-cracks of the crystal structure, as well as offering improved cable run-in. Far less time is now needed for the conductors and insulators to achieve their optimum performance – under 100 hours is now required, depending on the connectors, Siltech stated.
The new range introduces a 3-layer, high-tech insulation system, which combines DuPont Teflon and PEEK for exceptionally low distortion and unlimited dynamics and results in 1.5 times increase in insulation with super silent shielding. Despite its moderate pricing, the Classic Legend range has low capacitance, excellent high-frequency characteristics, and the least possible distortion, comfortably surpassing all previous Classic cables in technical measurements and subjective sound quality, with an uncannily natural, musical performance, the company says.
The Classic Legend Series consists of three interconnect cables (380i, 680i and 880i), a ground cable (Zero Ohm Link), three loudspeaker cables (380L, 680L and 880L), three power cables (380P, 680P and 880P) and three cables for digital audio/data, (380D, 380 USB and the Network).
