The da Vinci power cable is the flagship model of the Art series and is intended for systems where the quality of the power supply directly limits the final result of reproduction. Its foundation lies in the use of several Infinite Crystal Silver (iCS) signal conductors, i.e. a silver conductive structure with a minimised number of crystal boundaries in the current path.
Routing the power through several parallel iCS conductors lowers the resistance of the transmission path and contributes to a more stable energy supply for the connected component. The construction is conceived so that the cable never becomes a bottleneck between the mains and the device's power supply.
In practice, this solution manifests itself in a greater degree of intelligibility of the details in a recording. The da Vinci cable reveals information in the musical material that remains inaudible with ordinary power delivery, placing it at the very top of the manufacturer's range.

The Dutch company Crystal Cable has been manufacturing top-quality cables since 2004. It is led by Gabi van der Kleij-Rijnveld, and the brand was established as a sister company to the renowned manufacturer Siltech. Today, both companies share development and manufacturing facilities in the Dutch town of Elst, whilst each retains its own distinct character. Crystal Cable was founded following the development of a unique silver and gold alloy, which made it possible to create exceptionally thin, flexible and elegant cables. Their minimalist design need not be hidden behind furniture, yet they deliver sound quality that ranks amongst the very best in the world.
All Crystal Cable products are created with a single aim: to deliver a listening experience that comes as close as possible to a live concert. Silver and gold alloy conductors are complemented by multi-layer insulation and Kapton® shielding, which protect the signal from interference. The product range includes signal, speaker, power, digital, USB and network cables, as well as earthing bridges and cables for headphones and portable devices. The company also develops its own speakers with great success. All products are designed in-house and handcrafted in Elste to strict standards, which is why they connect you to music like few others can.
