Element Tungsten Interconnects - RCA/XLR with UEF Tuning Circuits
Element Tungsten was the surprise of our blind listening tests with unsurpassed soundstaging and holographic realism. Overall Element Tungsten is more resolved and palpable then copper and hands down the most realistic of all elements where three dimensionality is concerned.
- The most holographic of all elements
- Smoother frequency extension then Copper
- Exceptional mid-range presence
Listening notes and findings from our exhaustive 6 month blind listening tests reveal Element Tungsten to be THE cable for anyone who wants a “you are there” experience from their favorite recordings; a cable suitable for upper end components capable of a high degree of resolution, Element Tungsten represents state-of-the-art performance at a real world price.
As with all Element Series cables start with Grey Enigma Tuning Bullets first and allow the cable to settle in for at least 48 hours before experimenting with Silver tuning option. If after 48 hours you wish to open up the sound field and upper registers substitute Silver tuning circuit.
