How are they getting the different frequency bands to go down the appropriate type of cable? That doesn't make any sense. Am I reading it right?

I didn't understand that either Macca.

What a load of absolute bollocks.
FFS, "Silvered Copper" lol. So pretty standard silver plated oxygen free copper, in air filled tube. What air are they using? Oxygen? Jesus wept!
Ok, air tube core to separate the cores ay, aren't they wound next to each other?
Honestly, this is possibly the most ridiculous piece of marketing I've ever seen.
I'm knocking out Speaker cable made of possibly the best copper on earth (fact, not marketing speak), the best dialectric on earth and doing it for around half the price of this junk.
I need to rethink my pricing strategy and get a posh website I think.

Further more:
How on god's green earth are they separating frequencies into each core? Is there a crossover? A filter? If so, I can't see it and highly doubt it.
This is a case of gross advertising bullshit.

Further, furthermore...they look like grass snakes that have been dressed by Abercrombie & Fitch.
I said NO!!!

I can obviously see the marketing bs, but is this a good design, keeping strands separated? I know Viablue are a well thought of company, and my brothers speakers came with Viablue spikes which I can assure you, are of the highest quality.

This is a case of gross advertising bullshit. I think they are relying on the perception that it is 'music' going through the speaker cables rather than electricity at varying voltages. |

I've never seen a claim like that before. It's got to be illegal to make a such bullshit claim? |

A load of nonsense. I'd love to see them try and back this up with a proper scientific explanation and lab results. Which of course, they won't be able to do. |

I'm sure the physical engineering IS of the highest quality, but spikes is spikes (no matter how nice they look) and this speaker cable is an answer to what I perceive as a non-existent 'problem.' Same as most Top End stuff in my opinion these days.
No idea why something so simple has to be so complex with a 'story' wrapped around it all. Maybe RF performance/reflections are better for all I know...

Just a wild guess but maybe in order to sell it? You sell the sizzle, not the steak. |

Others have gone similar routes before so there is likely something in it. It reminds m e a little of SLIC interconnect design which wa supposed to impact skin effect and carried patents. Loads of more expensive cables out there too. For me, the only thing that would matter is the sound. Too pricey for my system but I would certainly give them a spin if I had a chance. I’ve heard nothing come close to my DIY cables so I wonder if there’s much more to be had. |

I'm loving the idea of different frequency ranges passing down different cables due to different geometry and materials. Not at these frequencies, transmission line theory starts coming in way up. These are just re-purposed cables with a nice outer jacket. I wonder how long it'll take to find the original engineering use of these cables.

The idea of using wires of varying diameter is nothing new. Rob Follis of Deltec/DPA did it back in the early 80s with a speaker cable he brought out. Can't remember the name of it. Think it might have been Black Something. I remember it being quite rigid.
