ALO Audio – Pure Silver Cable

ALO Audio has designed a pure silver cable that delivers the best sound possible from your earphones. The pure silver conductors add resolution and refinement to an already outstanding sound. 

This cable is also twisted to reduce tangling and microphonics. With a 3.5mm stereo plug, the cable matches the standard headphone jack of portable audio players.

Custom Beryllium Copper MMCX eliminates the connection’s traditional flaws while maximizing its benefits. Beryllium Copper provides a strong mating mechanism, which is usually made of soft brass. The use of a more durable material extends the life of the component and the earphone.

Aesthetic Build Quality 

“Pure Silver” (material) and Litz are two important technologies used in Silver cable (internal cable structure). Litz is a type of multistrand cable that is designed to reduce skin and proximity effect losses in conductors operating at less than 1 MHz.

It is made up of many thin wire strands that are individually insulated and twisted or woven together in one of several carefully prescribed patterns that frequently involve multiple levels (groups of twisted wires are twisted together, etc.).

As a result of these winding patterns, the proportion of the overall length over which each strand is at the outside of the conductor is equalized. This causes the current to be distributed evenly among the wire strands, lowering resistance.

The “N” number in 4N denotes the degree of purity of copper. 4 denotes four nines, as in 99.99% pure copper (5N would mean 99.999 percent and so on).

Pure Silver Cable is filigreed: it is thin, light, and unobtrusive. The braid is a little sloppy. The wire is covered in PVC, which softens and pliable the cable, and the shiny outer material appears to repel dirt and grease.

MMCX connectors are high-quality. Memory wire is also thin and of medium tension. The wires were snug around the ears. The headphone plug is also sturdy, and the chin slider is useful.

Optimum Comfort

The memory wire fits snugly without putting pressure on the ears, and the cable is as light as it gets, making the Pure Silver Cable as comfortable as it gets – it is also comfortable against the skin. The chin slider aids in keeping the cable in place.

When compared to Cascade’s silver-plated copper Litz cable with a cloth jacket. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Headphone Cable truly unleashes the potential of the headphones. Lives up to ALO Audio’s claim that the cable was specifically designed for Cascade.

The ALO Audio – Pure Silver Cable has a distinct warm-sounding signature that takes the “open” sounding Cascade to the next level. The cable has a clean sound with excellent layering from low to high frequency, resulting in the Cascade’s ideal combination of details and clarity.

The Cascade had kept me entertained with its abundance of sub-bass and energizing treble. The Cascade is undeniably well-tuned and demonstrates the benefits of a dynamic driver configuration. The Cascade is clearly V-shaped and exhibits coherence across the frequency spectrum.

Final Thoughts ALO Audio – Pure Silver Cable

This one sounds very neutral but also very dynamic, so the name Reference seems appropriate. With great dynamic range, and a laser-like focus on clarity. Plenty of welcome air, it excels in improving the technical aspects of your monitor’s performance.

It also appears to be a step up from the older Taurus and Libra creations. Those Ti barrels should last a long time, and the Litz construction should keep the silver shine from the wire from turning a dreaded green.

Anyone with a capable monitor who wants to maximize the core performance of a high-end IEM while avoiding the compressed low-grade sound of stock cables like the Plastics One. A cable that is still surprisingly common, packed with high-quality customs and some pricey universals.
