The PH-001 can be used with MM/MC cartridges without any problem, features silver plated pure copper conductors and it is optimized for DS' optical cartridges that have some special needs regarding noise pick-up.
According to the info released, the PH-001 cable features silver plated pure copper conductors, each conductor is made up of 37 strands of 0.26mm diameter wire. This gives a very large overall conductor cross-sectional area of 1.964mm².
The PH-001 features RCA phono connectors machined from pure copper. The pure copper base conductor is then gold plated. Use of such high quality connectors allows even more musical detail and texture to shine through, along with a heightened sense of openness, the company states.
Optical cartridges have a relatively high impedance due in part to the photo sensors used in their design. Due to this high impedance, external noise may be picked up if an unshielded phono cable was used. The DS Audio PH-001 is completely shielded with a silver plated copper braid, thus completely eliminating any potential interference.
When using a standard, non-optical MM or MC cartridge, the “cold” side of the phono cable serves only as a ground. In the case of optical cartridges however, the cold side is used to supply power from the equalizer to the cartridge. Therefore, in such an application, the cold side of the cable is just as important as the signal carrying hot line. The PH-001 features identical materials and construction on both the hot and cold sides ensuring that the power supply is kept stable.
The cable is available in DIN (Straight) to RCA or DIN (L-type plug) to RCA or RCA to RCA versions to accommodate all users.
