Press Release | Black Rhodium announces the launch of the ASPECT and ESSENCE mains power cables.
 
ASPECT also incorporates Black Rhodium’s low ‘Transient Phase Distortion’ construction and ‘Deep Cryogenic Processing’ in a cable that combines good sound quality with excellent value for money.
 
ESSENCE is a high end mains power cable that incorporates Black Rhodium’s low ‘Transient Phase Distortion’ construction and ‘Deep Cryogenic Processing’ as well as using rhodium plated connectors for increased musical transparency.
 
The benefit of thicker insulation is that when two electrical conductors carry an electrical current, the magnetic field produced by the current in one conductor affects the resistance of the other conductor. This is known as the ‘Proximity Effect’. Because the loudspeaker load is reactive, the current and voltage in the speaker cable are not in phase and the modulation effect produces a ‘Transient Phase Distortion’ signal that distorts sound quality. By moving the conductors of LIBRA and CRATOS 2.4mm from each other, the magnetic field (which reduces inversely proportionally to the distance) on the other cable is lowered and the ‘Transient Phase Distortion’ is less audible.
 
This effect can easily be observed when listening to complex musical signals such as massed choirs and large orchestras.
 
‘Deep Cryogenic Treatment’ is applied to the cable to rearrange its molecular distribution into a more uniform structure. The benefit of this treatment is that all aspects of the cable’s performance are enhanced uniformly. The sound takes on a greater clarity, displaying more musical detail whilst at the same bringing out more clearly the rhythmic qualities of the music played.
 
In addition the cables are processed by the Black Rhodium’s exclusive ‘Crystal Sound’ process.
 
ASPECT and ESSENCE have many of the features of previous Black Rhodium power cables that have made them very popular with users of high quality equipment.
 
The positive and negative cores are connected in opposite directions. Experience shows that when cables are connected this way (and both cables are connected in the same direction) the noise floor between the musical notes lowers. This gives ‘blacker’ silences in the interval between musical notes and enhances reproduction of the musical edges and natural decays in music.
Silicone rubber insulation is used because its low dielectric loss ensures extremely low distortion due to dielectric absorption effects in which sound energy is absorbed in the insulation and released at a later interval of time to create highly audible time-smearing distortion.
LIBRA and CRATOS are both very flexible and as a result are much more convenient to use than cables that are less flexible.

 

ASPECT and ESSENCE will be available at these Retail Prices:
 
ASPECT 1.5m terminated with UK 13A plug and IEC socket £350.00
ESSENCE 1.5m terminated with UK 13A plug and IEC socket £950.00
 
Longer lengths are available to order at £100 per additional metre
