AudioTekne ARC-500/ARSP-500

About the AudioTekne ARC-500/ARSP-500

The AudioTekne ARC-500 interconnects and ARSP-500 speaker cables are handmade in Japan by Audio Tekne, designed by Mr. Imai. They utilize 500-strand pure copper Litz wire with minimal insulation and low inductance to achieve extremely high transparency, low-level resolution, and a natural, musical sound. The cables are praised for their ability to deliver a sound free of distortion and coloration, attributed to their unique construction that minimizes electromagnetic interference and the skin effect. The ARC-500 interconnects come in various lengths with RCA or XLR terminations, and the ARSP-500 speaker cables share the same high-quality Litz wire construction. These cables have been highly regarded by audiophiles and reviewers for their price-to-performance ratio, offering a level of sonic quality comparable to much more expensive cables. The cables are coated with a conductive lacquer containing carbon particles to reduce electrical charge buildup and improve sound quality further. They are handmade with custom gold terminations and hand-laquered Teflon insulation, emphasizing purity of signal transmission.
