Galileo Universal Interconnect Cells
Galileo Universal Interconnect Cells are a trickle down technology from our Galileo Research Program. Thanks to lessons learned during development of our flagship Galileo Pure Gold and Silver Air Strings, we knew to voice three different Galileo Universal Interconnect Cells: one for source to pre-amp, one for pre-amp to power amp, and one for source to integrated amp, all with strategic material selection in each of the three Galileo Universal Interconnect Cells. Benefits from Galileo Universal Interconnect Cells include a significant increase in soundstage size & layering, increased resolution with improved air & musicality, a more present musical mid-range, a lower noise floor for blacker backgrounds for increased inner detail, and more powerful low frequency extension & control. Available in both single-ended and XLR terminations, Galileo Universal Interconnect Cells improve the performance of all interconnect cables.
Galileo Interconnect Cells are designed to connect to the end of your source to pre-amp interconnect, and at the beginning of your pre to power amp interconnect
Galileo Interconnect Cells are available in both XLR and RCA terminations, to dramatically improve any cable
Galileo Universal Interconnect Cells are easy to use
First plug your interconnect into a Galileo Active Cable Cell
Next plug the included MPC power supply into Galileo’s Active EM Cell. Your cable is now ready to connect to your system

Hello,
I have some technical questions for your engineer (not a sales person). My system does not have a pre-amp, so it isn’t like the set-ups discussed on your website. My fully differential CD player has a built-in tube output stage and is connected by an interconnect (XLR) to a fully differential solid state amplifier:
1. Is your Galileo Universal Interconnect Cell compatible with this set-up?
2. If yes, would it be correct to assume that the Cell will be installed between the interconnect and the amplifier?
3. How good is the resolving quality of your fixed cable on the Cell that will be plugged-in into the amp? And, can this cable be upgraded to your best cable?
Best Regards,
Jay

Jay,
1. Is your Galileo Universal Interconnect Cell compatible with this set-up? – YES
2. If yes, would it be correct to assume that the Cell will be installed between the interconnect and the amplifier? – I engineered a special Galileo Interconnect Cell especially for integrated amplifiers. It terminates at the beginning of the cable running from source to integrated and is different from standard source to pre-amp Galileo Universal Interconnect Cells.
3. How good is the resolving quality of your fixed cable on the Cell that will be plugged-in into the amp? And, can this cable be upgraded to your best cable? – The cable provided to run from Cell to component is the best cable for this application so no upgrade is necessary. When you hear the Galileo Universal Interconnect Cells in your system (after 120 hours of break in / warm up) you should have no doubts.
I hope this helps.
Yours in music,
