3. ntly better dynamic contrast and clarity than if the same conductors were run in parallel or as multiple twisted pairs SPREAD SPECTRUM TECHNOLOGY SST Any single size or shape of conductor has a characteristic distortion profile Even though radially symmetrical conductors solid round or tubular have the fewest discontinuities each size still has a sonic signature Type 8 uses a precise combination of four different size conductors in order to significantly reduce the audibility of these character flaws TERMINATIONS Superior AudioQuest connectors allow Type 8 to be securely attached to any type of equipment AQ ends are dull looking because there is no harsh sounding shiny nickel layer underneath the silver or gold AQ PK spade lugs are soft because pure stamped copper is much better than machined brass For pieces requiring a banana plug or BFA connector the AQ PK BFA Banana provides unprecedented performance over conventional brass versions BIWIRING When possible running separate conductors or separate cables to the treble and bass halves of a speaker will considerably reduce distortion The large magnetic fields associated with bass energy modulate a cable s electrical properties thereby modulating distorting the treble similar to the way waves in the ocean make it much harder to swim Type 8 may be used as a Single BiWire cable by preparing Type 8 with four connections on the speaker end For maximum performance though use
