Ailsa’’s ‘balanced core’ geometry results from a new ‘ground-up’ approach to multicore cable design, by delivering a balanced flow in both the signal and return conductors.
The Ailsa combines unusually high-quality materials – ultra-high purity OCC conductor, Copper Mylar foil shield and microporous PTFE dielectric – with our high-precision Ultra RCA connector and Grun compatibility. We based our ‘dd’ (dual-drain) configuration on techniques originally developed for our top-of-the-range Mavros and Asimi interconnects. Twin symmetrical drain wires connect the screen to the cable return/plug interface, allowing cable termination without distorting, twisting or mechanically stressing the precision-laid screen. Typically, screened cables suffer from screen distortion when prepared for production. Cutting and twisting the screening braid has a measurable impact, effectively changing the impedance and, therefore, the cable’s performance.
The benefits are maintaining a constant low impedance load to the plug and total 360° screening against noise and signal degradation caused by RFI (Radio Frequency Interference). The result is a beautifully balanced, open, accurate, natural sound which we think, like the Ailsa Achromatic RCA, defines a new performance standard at its price point. The Ailsa Ultra RCA Grun represents an ideal upgrade path for owners of our other co-ax interconnects.
