Up for your consideration is a fantastic Audiolund Xtreme Silver Series S/PDIF Coaxial Digital Cable. It is 1.5 meters in length. This is one of Audiolund's upper-tier digital cables and combines Duelund tinned-copper conductors with 5N OCC pure-silver conductors rather than relying exclusively on either copper or silver. The Audiolund Xtreme Silver series blends the warm, full-bodied musicality of vintage Western Electric tinned copper (via Duelund wire) with the fast, extended, and airy high-frequency dynamics of modern 5N OCC pure silver wire.
This cable features:
12GA + 20GA Duelund tinned-copper conductors
Eight individual solid-core 5N OCC silver conductors, ranging from 18GA through 32GA
Multiple layers of shielding intended to reduce RFI/EMI interference
Audiolund's damping/isolation construction
Purpose-built coaxial digital-cable geometry
1.5-meter length
BNC-to-BNC termination
Audiolund describes the Xtreme Silver Series as combining the body, natural presentation and musical character associated with its Duelund-based designs with the speed, resolution and detail associated with its OCC-silver designs. This cable was ordered with Audiolund's upgraded Furutech FP-3-117(R) rhodium-plated BNC connectors on both ends. These are not inexpensive generic BNC terminations. Furutech specifies the FP-3-117(R) as a high-performance audio BNC connector incorporating a 75Ω impedance, Furutech α (Alpha) copper-alloy center pin, Rhodium-plated copper-alloy construction, fluoropolymer insulation and soldered termination.
This cable is in absolute mint shape and sounds wonderful! It stayed in my system and was compared to many other digital cables that were tried over the years, none of them actually beating the performance of this cable, so the staying power of this cable is strong. I ultimately upgraded to a cable, the Takshaka from Jonny at Snake River Audio, that utilizes different precious metallurgies (Red Copper, gold and silver), so this one is now up for grabs! I do not have the original box with this (Not sure it even came with one)
FYI - The intended use for this cable is particularly suited for a high-quality 75Ω coaxial S/PDIF connection, or other digital components equipped with BNC S/PDIF connections. Audiolund also markets this model for digital/master-clock applications; however, the impedance requirements of the specific equipment should always be confirmed before using any cable for an external clock connection.
The provided photos are of the actual cable, and the screenshot above is the actual documentation from the original purchase. Danny usually takes about a month or more to build and ship to your door. You can have this cable much quicker! Plus no delays in Customs or any possible tariffs to deal with.
Polk Audio Club members - This is priced to move at: $275.00*
*If you are not a Club Polk member and you see this on Hi-Fi Shark or other search engine in the coming days, the price will be $320.00 - Shipping and insurance are additional and will be charged at actual cost to the buyer. The item will be shipped as soon as funds clear. I reserve the right to not sell this cable at this price to a non-established Club Polk member or a member not in good standing. CONUS only.
Photos are of the actual cable and packaging. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Be on the lookout for more cables that I will be offering up for your consideration in the coming weeks.
