Siltech’s new flagship cables called Master Crown were introduced in CMY’s room during the recent KLIAVS 2024.
Explaining the finer details about the Master Crown cables was Siltech Operations Director Viktor de Leeuw.
There are more details from Siltech’s website:
Interconnects
The solid S10 monocrystal silver conductors are constructed following the new Balanced ground principle, for both XLR and RCA cables, further lowering the low noise floor.
MFD (Magnetic field distortions) related to the composition of conducting materials and insulators are reduced further due to the new construction.
Reduction of CSD (Current shielding distortion) effects for less interference with the natural audio signal.
Jitter reduction improves the Zero Crossing Distortion, greatly influencing the audible recognition of voices and instruments.
Just as important are the connectors, where the ultimate transfer of signal takes place. That is why all contacts are S10 monocrystal silver pins, gold-plated through a special direct plasma-plating process to further enhance sound quality. The clamping mechanism on the RCA connector is improved to avoid the risk of Eddy currents.
Master Crown’s Superior shielding switch allowing you to choose between directional grounding or lifting the shield connection, depending on your system and its surroundings.
Power cable
Power cables have an unexpectedly big audible effect on the reproduction of music. Magnetic leakages cause distortion in particular frequency ranges, inducing small distortions which are unrelated to music but affect all connected electronics and other (mainly interconnect) cables nearby. Furthermore, those distorted currents cause saturation in many power cords resulting into audibly colored sound at these peak currents.
Even small electronic devices may have repetitive peak current of 1 Amp while only taking 10 watts of energy out of your AC mains. During development of the power cables, our research group uses advanced software like COMSOL Multiphysics and the world’s most advanced measuring equipment to minimize the effects of these peak current distortions. This leads to extremely high levels of power integrity and an astonishing subjective and objective performance.
The power cable’s special grounding even removes the need for ground lifting, often done by audiophiles to improve the sound. Siltech’s new 18 conductor conductor configuration consisting of both S10 monocrystal silver and G9 silver-gold wires minimizes signal loss and distortion, and eliminates external interference.
Speaker cable
The speaker cable uses 6 ultra-thick S10 monocrystal conductors with perfectly symmetric hexagon construction and plasma gold-plated monocrystal silver spades.
By adding MFD (magnetic field distortion) and CSD (current shielding distortion) removing technology, Siltech’s new generation Master Crown creates an unbelievably powerful sound, with a high level of information, precision and above all a fluid dynamic sound that immediately grabs your attention.
Yes, it will handle 10kW, but more importantly, it’s able to let you hear 8 Femtowatts (0.000000000000008 Watt) of sound too. This mind-blowing range enables every micro detail (or better; Femto detail) to be heard, making your sound ultra realistic and adding a layer of fine detail and authenticity in any situation.
Bear in mind these are high-end very expensive cables. Call John Yew (016-2861000) or Dicky Ng (012-3308893) of CMY Audio & Visual for more information.
