Lineup comparison

We think it's helpful to understand how their products compare. To learn more about each, scroll to the section above to click through to individual product pages.

LEVEL 1  

  • Positioning: An entry-level essential upgrade to manufacturer supplied cables.  
  • Description: Uses OFHC conductors with a simple quad twist and polypropylene insulation to maintain signal integrity while keeping costs low. Compared to the higher levels, its basic configuration suits users with smaller rooms or tighter budgets who do not require the advanced conductor group technologies or enhanced shielding found in later models.

LEVEL 2  

  • Positioning: A mid-range series designed for significant improvement over standard cables.  
  • Description: Features an eight-conductor helix and proprietary insulation techniques. Compared to Level 1, it offers clearer detail and better control of low registers for systems in more demanding environments.

LEVEL 3  

  • Positioning: An audiophile grade lineup that delivers high articulation and refined details.  
  • Description: Uses Compressed Conductor Technology with air-suspended conductors and multiple low-dielectric insulations to optimize both electrical and mechanical performance. When compared with Level 2, Level 3 cables are engineered for more demanding digital AV setups.

LEVEL 4  

  • Positioning: A reference grade series for uncompromising performance.  
  • Description: Features advanced conductor group arrangements with ultra-low resistance and dual opposing spiral shields, preserving micro-details across the full audible spectrum. In contrast to lower levels, this series integrates top-grade materials and precise design tolerances.
