Description
Crystal Cable Diamond Series 2 – a cable range derived from the development of the flagship Art Series
Diamond Series 2 is the new generation of Crystal Cable's entry-level cable range, which compared to the original Diamond Series brings a marked step forward in reproduction quality while retaining compact dimensions and an accessible price level. The range was created by applying the know-how of the flagship Art Series to a design intended for a wider circle of audiophile systems.
The technical foundation of the range is long-term research and development, in which the manufacturer has invested over the years. The accumulated body of knowledge covers conductor metallurgy, the geometry and construction of the conductor structure, as well as the approach to shielding and insulation. It is precisely the combination of these areas that determines the resulting electrical properties of the cable and the degree to which it can transfer the signal free of external influences.
The result of this approach is a transfer with a high degree of preservation of the original signal, which in a system shows itself in the legibility of detail and the stability of the soundstage. Diamond Series 2 thus makes a substantial part of the quality of the manufacturer's top models available at a more modest price point, without compromising on design principles.

Specification
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.
