Nova-OCC Award winning Cables "The Ear" Cable product of the Year 2021 Best Buy 12AWG AUDIOPHILE LOUDSPEAKER CABLE Our Nova speaker cable consists of PC-OCC single crystal copper in a multi-strand litz construction with an individually insulated silver coated core. Using a tight strand/high pitch lay this 12 AWG speaker cable can handle the most demanding systems and loudspeakers on the market. Nova-OCC exudes power and grace allowing your system to feel unconstrained, and nourished with the correct amount of pure and steady power it demands. The Nova like all of our cables goes through our Ultra Sonic cleaning process where we run the raw copper through a water bath that is super charged to burn away dirt, oil, particles and impurities on the surface of the wire. This Ultra Sonic Bath also has the added unique effect of giving our cables a pre-burn sound that could take hundreds of hours to achieve through normal use.

These ensure excellent audio signal transmission due to optimal conductivity. The Litz yarn structure considerably reduces the skin effect. These conductors also benefit from a silver plating to increase conductivity even further.The conductors have a double dielectric isolation to drastically limit harmful interference to the audio signal and sound reproduction. In addition, the cable has two large EVA splitters to reduce vibration. Deep Cryo Treated This is a cryogenic treatment at two temperature levels, -186°C and -196°C, depending on the nature of the material used. This treatment optimizes the conductor crystals with the sole aim of providing the best possible transmission of the audio signal. Ultra Sonic 7 After extrusion, Nova-SPK Copper goes through a thermal high voltage surface cleaning process, close to electrolysis and more efficient than cleaning with a conventional cleaning agent. The result is a very pure conductor and the extraction oils and surface heating residues are completely eliminated. This process also makes it possible to obtain a ready-to-use cable, already ground in and offering an optimal result from the first musical notes on a high-end HiFi system.
