The van Gogh speaker cable belongs to the Art series and is built around the patented Infinite Crystal Silver (iCS) signal conductors. Compared with the Monet model, it uses a greater number of these conductors, which lowers the resistance of the signal path and increases the overall conductivity of the link between amplifier and loudspeaker.
Silver with an uninterrupted crystal structure limits the transitional imperfections inside the conductor that would otherwise contribute to distortion and the loss of fine signal levels. The larger cross-section of the conductive path also helps deliver a more stable transfer of current peaks during dynamically demanding passages.
In terms of reproduction, this technical solution translates into greater purity, better intelligibility of detail and a calmer background to the recording. Within the Art series it is surpassed only by the Da Vinci model, which places van Gogh among the top-tier cables for uncompromising systems.

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.
