The CREST-RSV is a significant step up in reference cable performance and is by all standards at the top of the food chain. With the addition of new heavy shielding which eliminates any EMI or RF contamination, the CREST-RSV incorporates additional aerospace materials for an unmatched conductor stream that is as clean as you can find anywhere regardless of cost. The CREST-RSV incorporates all the benefits of our Parthenon but adds not only new conductor materials but also enjoys much higher internal tolerances and loads at a much more consistent level with far less resistance while keeping a consistent 10awg spin. OFHC 99.9999% 10awg Ultra High-Purity (Virgin not recycled) Copper conductors with ZERO Negative Energy Bleed through the conductor insulation now with precision Non-Variable Counter-Spun Custom Weighted, varient strands per with the addition of a tighter Strand-Wind as well as our Proprietary Electro-Harmonic Pulse Generated conductor treatment, gives much more dynamic pace with more "WEIGHT” and overall spacing between instruments while retaining all the high definition musical transparency as well as adding to a superior soundstage that is unmatched. Each conductor is individually annealed, spun and then weighted, then treated and fully processed before assembly. Full extruded heavy-duty aluminum Plug and IEC housings, double Rhodium plated 99.998% Pure Red-Copper connectors ensure a supremely fast and seamless power transfer. Highly defined, the CREST-RSV employs an extremely high level of control over the program material, stabilizing ANY deficiencies previously present. Simply put, the very Best Reference cable for your investment without question or comparison.
