DeepSpace Waveguide Interconnect USD 3300.00
1 Meter pr.
That's a mouthful AND an ear opening experience. The Waveguide is the latest and finest interconnect we've developed since the introduction of the Cryo Gold Alloy Sonnet-R back in 2008. Using our DeepSpace (0.28mm X 0.76mm) Cryo Gold Alloy Graphene rectangular conductors and a CAD designed flexible waveguide body. The Aural Harmony DeepSpace Waveguide interconect offers a vanishingly low capacitance of 8.5pf/Ft which translates into an extremely open and thanks to the DeepSpace conductors, smooth and transparent presentation of musical detail and instrument placement. The wires seen coming out of the interconnect just below the RCA connectors are used for the isolated ground shield that has been used on our other interconnects (as an option) so successfully since 2008. This is a "compare to anything, at any price" interconnect.
Definition of a Waveguide:
"A waveguide is a structure that guides waves, such as electromagnetic waves. They enable a signal to propagate with minimal loss of energy by restricting expansion to one dimension or two." We use the term waveguide as a loosely related term, as I go about describing the Waveguide interconnect in detail you will understand how appropriate the name is.
After realizing how open, detailed and musically natural the DeepSpace wire was I knew I needed to find a cable design to extract every bit of potential from the wire. Years ago I was an engineering technician in commercial broadcasting and from the time I was 14 years old I held an amateur radio license, I was very interested in RF design. From this love of RF engineering I wondered if I could use RF design technique for the development of this special interconnect. I contacted a friend of mine who is a freelance Microwave designer and asked if he could help. Long story short we designed a waveguide with the use of a CAD program that worked formulas for slot waveguides, slanted-wall, and graded structures. After more designs built and discarded than I care to remember we hit on THE one. The DeepSpace Waveguide interconnect is constructed of numerous components: the Waveguide body, the Teflon conductor carriers(constraining channels which hold the conductors in place), a copper braid that is placed over the wire carriers and waveguide body for noise reduction. ( This copper braid is physically and electrically isolated from signal ground and is only used for noise reduction ), and a carbon impregnated heatshrink tube that spans the entire length of the interconnect and holds everything in place.
The waveguide body on the DeepSpace Waveguide interconnect is custom made for us by Zeus Inc. The waveguide body itself is slightly tapered being a wider diameter on one side and not as wide on the other side. The waveguide body is specific to the length of interconnect, in other words these bodies do not come on a spool but are shipped as pieces. Because of this, at the time of this writing two waveguide bodies that make a 1 meter pair of interconnects (without carrier channels) costs USD 370.00 from Zeus.
The shielding on this cable is floating. On the source side mini pins with wire connect left and right shields to either a ground screw on an electrical outlet or a grounding screw on a preamp etc. on the other end two wires connect left and right shields together to complete a closed ground system.
The ability of this interconnect to convey the pace, rhythm, and timing of recorded music is mind blowing. I guarantee you have never heard an interconnect that can deliver the transparency along with a natural depth, width, and height with total effortlessness. This interconnect comes with a 14 day trial period because only you can determine if this cable is perfect in your system.

Our top of the line tonearm wire has a musicality, transparency and pace, rhythm and flow which has no peers. See the description of DeepSpace wire in our "Sonic Descriptions of our Wire Types" section below.
The starter in our lineup, this wire has a sonic character that is a blend of copper smoothness along with a bit more open character due to the addition of silver. Musical and involving this wire will open up your listening experience on modest systems that are often times held back from sonic splendor by cheap interconnects and ancillary wiring. This wire is available as interconnects, turntable interconnects, tonearm wire, digital interconnects, and HDMI cables.
99.990% + Pure Silver Our 99.990% + wire is the bridge between the Silver/Copper alloy wire and the 99.999% Pure Silver wire. It offers that pure silver sound at a very reasonable price. The signature of this wire is open transparency and musicality without glare or harshness. The difference between the 99.990%+ wire and the 99.999% Pure Silver wire is ultimate smoothness across the audio spectrum the 99.999% Pure Silver offers. The 99.990% + Pure Silver wire comes within 20% of the sonics of the 99.999% Pure Silver version.
99.999% Pure Silver The 99.999% Pure Silver wire offers the sound purity, smoothness, and transparency one would expect from an excellent quality silver wire. I often describe this wires sonic character as the “Kimber Kable KCAG “ sound. Almost everyone is familiar with the sound of that interconnect, this wire has that same quality. The first time you here this wire it is a revelation. Depending on your equipment this wire offers a look “into” your recordings. Using this wire a beautiful depth of image is revealed along with outside the speaker imaging.
This is a really special wire we developed and introduced in 2005. The wire is a combination of Silver, Copper, and Gold. ( some have asked... no, this is NOT gold-filled jewelry wire, that wire is made of brass and has a gold overlay). The percentage of each metal used in the wire was determined regarding its particular and unique conductivity. The combination of all three metals in our percentage of distribution has a better sound than any of the single metals alone...if you know the sonic signature of our 99.999% (5n) Pure silver wire you know how clean, open and transparent it is, with no hint of glare or brightness. Now, the Gold Alloy wire has that same sonic character but reveals even more low-level detail. Bass is more powerful and has a naturally rounded character, the mids and top end are more liquid and stand out in an almost three dimensional relief. This wire is special in that it has a beautiful "musical flow, pace, and rhythm" that many other wires miss. One would think that using Gold would obscure the sound or slow it down but the Gold Alloy wire is probably our most neutral wire, it will portray what the signature of your equipment was designed to sound like. To use a visual description look up “ white opal” and “black opal” on the internet, as beautiful a gemstone as the white opal is, the black opal has this powerful almost hypnotic look...a deep dark background with a rainbow of color that stands out. I consider the Gold Alloy wire to be the Black Opal of wire. Because of the revealing detail, the soundstage height, width and depth is just breathtaking, and all of this emerges from an even blacker background the 99.999% (5n) Pure Silver wire is known for. Listening to this wire for the first time took me aback.. more of the music and all of it’s nuances were just there.
What makes this wire different from the round Cryo Gold Alloy is that it’s dimensions are approx. a 20ga. wire wide and a 29ga. wire thick. Almost like having two wires in one...20ga. for super bass and mids and 29ga. For smooth extended highs. People have described this wire as our round 24ga. Cryo Gold Alloy wire on steroids, it just seems to do everything a little bit better. This wire is used in our Cryo Gold Alloy Sonnet-R interconnect
DeepSpace Cryo Gold Alloy Wire with Graphene or The
Disappearing Wire Act
The DeepSpace Cryo Gold Alloy with Graphene (henceforth known as DeepSpace wire) takes up where the Cryo Gold Alloy wire leaves off, literally. After a 150 - 200 hour break-in with the Cryo Gold Alloy wire, the same sonic character is heard with the Deep Space wire at first use without break-in. This is the first new wire we have introduced since the Cryo Gold Alloy wire was unveiled in 2003. The DeepSpace wire idea started out as a kind of "what if" project.
Besides being an electrical conductor all wires have something else in common, the quality of the wire is only as good as the quality of the connection. In audio applications this is of utmost importance. Soldering with a good quality solder is my preferred method, but to achieve a great connection the wire needs to be placed directly on the piece it is being soldered to with no space gaps. Even the best solder is only meant to adhere two items together for strength and long term reliability, solder was never meant to be a pure conductor. In May 2016 I purchased a laser spot welder to connect my wires to their respective items before finalizing the connection with solder, before that I used a miniature spot arc welder for the purpose. The arc welder worked well except before soldering I would need to clean all the connections due to metal splatter. The laser welder uses a Nd-YAG crystal and operates at a wavelength of 1064nm. Power output is 60 watts (adjustable) and the beam size is also adjustable from 0.2 mm to 1.0 mm by changing lenses. To assist in centering the weld spot a purple 440nm targeting laser with an adjustable beam spot of approx. 1.0 mm to 2.0 mm in diameter is used. The welding laser is focused at the center of the targeting laser. The picture shown is our phono cartridge connector (to show size) the purple spot is the targeting laser, in real life the spot is not as large, the ipad I used to take the picture shows more light than is seen by the naked eye. Off to the left in the circle are two laser spots, the first one was full power and actually punched a hole thru the paper the next spot was minimum power and hardly made a burn spot on the paper. The laser in actual use only produces a very quiet " tick, tick, tick " when it is spot welding. The connections are solid enough to solder to with minimum effort...I love the outcome.

You are looking at our Silver/Copper Alloy Phono Link. The Phono Link is constructed using our custom made 23 ga.(0.573mm) stranded Silver/Copper Alloy wire. The 100% coverage ground braid is floating and is COMPLETELY electrically isolated from the signal wires. The connectors are the Cardas DIN and Cardas rhodium RCA ends. At the DIN plug side the wire is flexible and may be bent at a 90 degree angle if need be.
Specifically designed for microvolt level signals this wire consists of 80 strands of 42ga. (0.063mm) wire per signal leg. This wire is made for us to our specs in Germany by the same company that produces our Silver/Copper Alloy digital interconnect wire. The wire is sent to us in bulk and terminated here in the mountains of North Carolina. Long story short this cable offers the best balance between cost and performance as do all of our products

The advantage of designing a no holds barred product like the DeepSpace Waveguide interconnect is in the process certain points in the design can be evaluated to produce another product at a reduced price point. With the Cryo Gold Alloy Waveguide interconnect we started by using a non custom waveguide tube that is uniform in size from end to end rather than the custom tapered tube design of the DeepSpace waveguide. Replacing the DeepSpace wire with our Cryo Gold Alloy wire reduced the cost of the wire alone by 75%. Replacing the Carbon impregnated end to end heat shrink with standard heatsink and placing a grounding connection at only the destination end of the Cryo Gold Alloy Waveguide interconnect further reduced cost of parts and labor.
The sound and presentation of this interconnect comes, I would say within 80% of the four times more expensive DeepSpace Waveguide. Where the Cryo Gold Alloy Waveguide falls slightly short is in the frequency extension and natural open smoothness that the DeepSpace version possesses.
All prices are for a set of 4 wires, 24" (61cm) length each.
Wire size for all tonearm is 32.7ga.(.186 mm) diameter.
