SlinkyLinks 3m Biwire Speaker Cables 2 of original connectors lost and replaced as seen on photos, silver conductors can be seen. Slinkylinks takes a very simple approach: (1) Use silver as the conductor. Silver is a better (about 7% better) conductor than copper, and although they both oxidize, copper oxide is non-conductive while silver oxide is a very good conductor (e.g., silver oxide batteries); (2) Keep the conductors very thin. This minimizes the skin effect. In the case of the Slinkys, the conductors are only 0.25mm thick (250), which is about the size of a human hair. For the RCA unbalanced interconnects, two conductors are assigned to the + and two are assigned to the -. For the XLR interconnects, two are for one hot lead, two for the other, and a fifth silver conductor lies between the smaller tubes and the outside sleeve, assigned to the -. With Slinkylinks speaker cables, there are eight conductors, four each for the + and -; (3) Use air as the dielectric. Teflon is good, but air is better. So, how do you keep the conductor from touching something when it is suspended in air? You dont. You accept the 4% conductor surface area touching the surrounding insulation. You have to suspend each conductor in its own plastic tubing though; (4) Dont use metal shielding, because such shielding has capacitance that can smear the sound. Of course, this means you have to be careful where you lay the cables, so that they dont pick up any stray hum fields Tone Magazine Review Slinkylinks have released a speaker cable following the success of their interconnect. This silver speaker cable is priced at $70/m plus terminations. This is very cheap compared with other silver speaker cables on the market such as the Kimber AG, which sells for $350/m plus terminations. After comparing the Slinkylinks with other similarly priced cables (Audioquest Crystal ($50/m), Kimber Kable 4TC($67/m), Alpha-core Goertz M12 ($105/m), Straight Wire Octave ($120/m) in several 2 channel systems and 4 home theatre systems (in 2 channel mode) ranging from $3000 to $45,000, the Slinkylinks was clearly in another league. When compared with other more expensive copper cables, the Slinkylinks continued to amaze. Whether it was the silver cable or the unique design of surrounding the cables in air, there was a consistent leap in performance that any differences between the copper cables became trivial by comparison. It had all the dynamics and clarity of the Straight Wire Maestro ($400/m), the smoothness of the Goertz M12; the bass of the Monster M1.5 (discontinued) and the huge soundstage of the Audiophile for Audiophiles Poseidon ($200/m). The Slinkylinks had superb imaging, detail, smoothness, transparency, and sound staging, clean extended, taut bass, lush midrange and extended smooth highs. The Slinkyllinks produced a well-focused holographic image that none of the other cables could match. The improvement was black and white, like chalk and cheese, like day and night. In comparing the differences between the copper cables, the difference was often like comparing black to a very dark shade of gray. The Slinkylinks is by far the best speaker cable that I have had in any of my systems.
