The Eletech Virtues Raphael In-Ear Cable embodies the pinnacle of audio cable craftsmanship, merging the refined acoustic properties of flagship copper with the lustrous quality of gold. The 'Raphael' represents a culmination of Eletech's vast experience in the high-fidelity audio realm, offering a cable that not only meets the rigorous standards of audiophiles but exceeds them with a sound signature that is both highly resolving and naturally warm. This sound profile is achieved through a sophisticated mix of ultra-high purity gold-plated copper and gold-copper alloy, meticulously configured into a 9 core Litz structure that is part of Eletech’s lauded "Virtues Series."
The 'Raphael' cable distinguishes itself with a 25.5 AWG thickness, ensuring a balance between nimble flexibility and substantial signal transmission. It is particularly designed to enhance the listening experience by presenting a well-textured warmth that is organic in essence, allowing for a listening experience that is as inviting as it is detailed. The warmth does not muddy the sound but instead adds a rich depth that complements the crystalline highs and detailed mids that the cable so adeptly conveys.
At its core, the 'Raphael' boasts a Kevlar resilient center, a feature that gives the cable an exceptional fortitude. This Kevlar reinforcement ensures that the high strand counts maintain their structural stability, allowing the 'Raphael' to withstand the strains of daily use without compromising on audio quality. The incorporation of a multi-sized stranding design and high dispersion geometry furthers the cable's commitment to audio precision, ensuring that sound is evenly distributed throughout the cable, thus minimizing potential signal loss and distortion.
The craftsmanship of the 'Raphael' extends beyond its internal architecture to its external design elements. The cable is cryogenically treated, a process that aligns and stabilizes the molecular structure of the metals, resulting in a smoother electrical flow and a purer sound output. Each strand is individually enamelled, isolating it to reduce electrical interference and signal corruption, while Eletech's custom connectors and Y-split not only enhance the durability of the cable but also its aesthetic elegance. Wrapped in Eletech’s proprietary FlexiMax Insulation™, the 'Raphael' cable is not just a conduit for sound but an instrument in its own right, delivering resilience, beauty, and performance in one comprehensive package.
