{"product_id":"stealth-sextet-v16-t-digital-cable","title":"Stealth Sextet V16-T Digital Cable","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Sextet is six digital cables in one: six complete Varidig cables wrapped around a braided Kevlar centre core and terminated with Stealth's own digital connectors. The parallel construction gives better low-level resolution and resonance control than a single run, while the Kevlar core makes it extremely robust and the RCA version weighs under 2 oz including connectors. V16 is the 2016 revision of the original Varidig Sextet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe V16-T adds Stealth's tuning collar and is otherwise identical to the standard Sextet V16. Its collar uses a proprietary, Stealth-made conductive ferromagnetic composite instead of the non-conductive ferrite of the earlier V14-T, the result of two years' development. V15 and V16 are the same cable, differing only in markings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eConstruction\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSix Varidig cables in parallel around a braided Kevlar centre core\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach Varidig run: solid-core centre conductor and quad-layer, variable-pitch LITZ return\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVaridig principle: porous Teflon dielectric that is thicker in the middle of the cable than at the ends, with conductors that taper towards the terminations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolds the correct characteristic impedance across the whole cable including connectors (75 ohms S\/PDIF, 110 ohms AES\/EBU), greatly reducing signal reflections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwisting pitch varies along the length to break up internal resonances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachined Teflon termination cones beside the RCAs maintain the geometry, and so the impedance, right up to the connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStealth custom connectors with Teflon dielectric and solid silver contacts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning collar: a sliding ferromagnetic collar moved along the cable while listening; at the right spot the sound comes into focus, much like a lens.
