Analog Cable Crystal Cable Reference2 Diamond Phono with ground wire
Description
Crystal Cable Diamond Series 2 – cables with technology derived from the flagship Art Series
The Diamond Series 2 range represents Crystal Cable's entry line, which adopts design know-how from the higher model ranges. Compared with the original Diamond Series, it brings a marked step forward in reproduction quality while retaining compact dimensions and a more accessible price level. The foundation is long-term research and development focused on conductor metallurgy and insulation.
The development of the range drew on the knowledge base gained while creating the flagship Art Series. The result is a refined conductor construction, carefully considered shielding and insulation, which together reduce external interference and contribute to the stability of the transmitted signal. The combination of these elements makes it possible to carry some of the qualities of the reference models into a more affordable category.
The meticulous work with conductor and dielectric materials shows in the legibility of detail and more precise localisation of instruments within the stereo image. A lower noise level optimises the quiet background of the recording, so dynamics are preserved without emphasising individual parts of the frequency spectrum.

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.
