Silver Breeze Phono Cable

The outstanding performance of the Silver Breeze is a tribute to both its extravagant signal core design and its elaborate shielding system. Much of the noise that plagues high gain phono equipment can be inductive in nature against which typical shielding is powerless. The Silver Breeze™ employs a proprietary method of shielding electro-magnetic interference as well typical capacitively coupled noise i.e. RFI and ESI. This crucial feature of the Silver Breeze assures the purity of the most delicate signal voltages conveyed by its air-gapped, solid core, pure silver litz signal network. For the ultimate in sonic purity the bomb-proof, 100% coverage, low impedance shielding system is completely independent of signal ground and shunts directly to chassis ground. This prevents signal ground from being modulated by external interference while ensuring all shield-grounds from cartridge to chassis go directly to ground and at one potential only.

Balanced Configuration:

The Silver Breeze™ is also ideal for true balanced* configuration with XLR termination by virtue of its 100% independent shielding and internal litz symmetry. However, it is very important to verify a phono preamp providing XLR inputs does in fact employ balanced (differential) inputs. Unfortunately, the presence of XLR inputs is not a guarantee of actual balanced inputs. Silver Audio can provide assistance verifying this information.

Termination Considerations:

The Silver Breeze™ is generally made to order due to the variety of special considerations regarding clearance and terminations. Unless otherwise specified, standard termination is roughly a 6 inch breakout from the main, thicker body of the cable, to the DIN plug. The LINN brand turntable in particular requires a longer than normal breakout from the main body of the cable to the DIN plug. The breakout portion is very thin, extremely flexible and of course, fully shielded. The DIN plug is normally oriented with the gap in the semi circle of pins facing the point at which cable meets the connector. If requested, the gap in the pin body can be set 90 degrees to the either side. The Breeze uses the 5 pin gold plated Cardas DIN. The WBT Topline 0108 RCA connector is being phased out by WBT and is available only as special order while stock is still available. Standard termination is now with the stellar WBT NextGen™ Solid Silver RCA. The Breeze is also available RCA to RCA for an additional $75.00 fee and right angle DIN for $30.00 additional.
