About The WireWorld Starlight 10 Coaxial Digital Cable
A smaller version of the Tri DNA HELIX design used in WireWorld's reference digital cables, the WireWorld Starlight 10 is a 75-Ohm digital audio cable that preserves delicate musical details, image focus and dynamic expression that is lost by conventional 75-Ohm cable designs. It also reduces listener fatigue by replacing digital 'glare' with the natural tone qualities of instruments and voices. Starlight 10 is the only digital audio cable to offer leading-edge technology, materials and performance, in the price range of standard coaxial digital audio cables. The Series 10 upgrade to COMPOSILEX 5 insulation provides clear improvements in musical detail and dynamic expression.
These 10 Series cables incorporate several technical and visual improvements over the previous 'Series 8'. The patented Tri DNA HELIX® designs have been upgraded with additional strand groups that reduce electromagnetic (eddy current) losses for increased resolution, focus and dynamic contrast. WireWorld's latest composite insulation technology, COMPOSILEX® 5, minimizes triboelectric noise to provide cleaner sonic textures and quieter backgrounds than previous insulation materials. These material and design upgrades represent five years of additional research and development beyond WireWorld's critically acclaimed Series 8 cables.
Starlight, with its Silver-Plated Oxygen-Free Copper conductors and Tri DNA HELIX® cable design brings the excellence of WireWorld's technologies to an attainable price point that will no doubt make it appeal to those who want a great sounding cable at a great price.
COMPOSILEX Insulation: Many understand that insulation materials influence the performance of a cable. WireWorld created unique polymer composites designed specifically to optimise fidelity. Breakthrough COMPOSILEX® 5 insulation technology makes improvements in sound quality by virtually eliminating the noise modulation effects caused by conventional insulation materials. COMPOSILEX® 5 provides quieter backgrounds, tighter image focus and wider dynamics than the insulation materials used in other cables.
COMPOSILEX® 5 is only part of the innovative Tri DNA HELIX® cable designs, which use layered flat conductors to channel electromagnetic signal energy more efficiently than other designs. The combination of these two advanced technologies produce cables that sound distinctly cleaner than others. They also allow quieter details to be heard, while preserving a greater range of dynamic contrasts and musical expression than other cables.
Amazingly, they even reduce listening fatigue while improving definition and image focus. In addition to the advantages of COMPOSILEX® 5 and Tri DNA HELIX® technologies, WireWorld coaxial digital cables also feature superior patented connectors and utilize conductor materials of the highest purity available. These qualities are essential in producing the highest fidelity digital cables at this price point.
Silver-Tube Plugs: Starlight 10 uses Silver-Tube RCA Plugs and is available standard with RCA to RCA terminations. It is also available to special order with BNC terminations.
