Analog Cable Crystal Cable Ultra2 Diamond IC
Description
Crystal Cable Diamond Series 2 – flagship Art Series expertise brought to a more accessible class
The Diamond Series 2 line represents the entry-level yet technically fully-fledged range of Crystal Cable products, intended for systems that demand high transmission performance in compact dimensions and at a sensible price. Compared with the original Diamond series, it marks a significant step forward in reproduction quality, one that stems from the brand's long-term research and development rather than from cosmetic changes to the construction.
The design draws on the knowledge gathered during the creation of the flagship Art Series. It applies know-how in the field of conductor metallurgy, signal path geometry, shielding and insulating materials. It is precisely the combination of these elements that determines how accurately the cable transfers the signal and to what extent it suppresses external interference.
Rigorous control of conductor and insulation materials contributes to a lower level of interference in the signal path, which translates into more stable transmission and more legible detail retrieval. The compact execution also makes installation easier in everyday set-ups without compromising transmission properties.
The philosophy of the range lies in making a substantial part of the reference models' quality available at a lower price. Diamond Series 2 therefore targets users who are looking for a technically grounded solution with a proven development background and who are not willing to invest in the top product lines.

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.
