According to a company press release, Ontario, CA-based Ultralink/XLO Products will feature its Argentum-series interconnects and cables at the company’s upcoming CES display.
According to the release, Argentum Acoustics cables are targeted primarily toward high-end, two-channel applications, but “work extremely well in crossover video applications where sound is paramount.” The Argentum cable range includes the following models:
• RCA/XLR MYTHOS interconnects,
• MILLENNIA AES/EBU digital datalink,
• PROTEUS-12 power cord,
• AUREUS-2 speaker cables (offered in single and biwire configurations), and
• ARGENTO digital (75 ohm) coaxial cable.
Construction details vary from model to model, and between applications, but highlights are as follows:
• Conductors: 99.9998% pure UPOCC copper (except for the ARGENTO digital coax cable, which uses silver conductors).
• Insulators (dielectrics): DuPont Teflon.
• Interconnect plugs: 24K gold-plated, nonmagnetic, low mass, low self-inductance plugs.
• Speaker-cable plugs: 8mm billet-cut spade lugs made of 99.9945 pure CDA alloy 101 copper (gold-plated) or Deltron-style banana plugs.
• Other treatments: All Argentum Acoustics cables are cryogenically treated.
Prices: $300 to $1850
