Description
Crystal Cable Diamond Series 2 — cables built on know-how from the flagship Art Series
The Diamond Series 2 line is Crystal Cable's entry-level range, aimed at an attainable price point without giving up sonic performance. Compared with the original Diamond Series, it brings a marked step up in signal transfer quality, while retaining the compact construction and the price-to-performance ratio that defines this series.
The engineering draws on the manufacturer's long-term development work and on the know-how gathered while creating the flagship Art Series. This shows in the approach to conductor metallurgy, to conductor geometry, to shielding and to the choice of dielectric materials — the very elements that determine how a cable behaves in the signal path.
The result of this design background is low-noise transfer with stable signal guidance, which contributes to detail legibility and a quiet background to the reproduction. Diamond Series 2 thus makes a substantial part of Crystal Cable's higher-range technology available at a far more modest price.

Crystal Cable
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.
