Overview
Pure monocrystal silver IEM upgrade cable — no copper substrate, no plating, just drawn silver in a four-core litz braid. The single-crystal lattice eliminates the inter-grain-boundary distortion that ordinary polycrystalline silver introduces, audibly extending top-octave air and detail retrieval.
Termination is 4.4 mm Pentaconn balanced at source, Pentaconn Ear at the earpieces — the connector developed specifically for high-end IEMs by the same manufacturer that brought 4.4 mm to market. See Pentaconn Ear connector.
The canonical pairing with the tribrid flagship IEM and the electrostatic EST IEM — both designs benefit from silver’s treble extension.
