Stealth Tantalus Analog Interconnect (pre-release)

Tantalus is a newer Stealth Audio Cables analog interconnect built around an unusual conductor: ultra-thin, pure tantalum wire. Rather than Stealth's exotic amorphous alloy used in the Indra and Śakra, Tantalus explores a pure-metal path, while keeping the multicore geometry that defines the Śakra.

It sits alongside its sibling, the Tanto, which uses the same tantalum wire in a vari-cross layout. Tantalus is offered here as a pre-release model; details may be refined before final production, and we will confirm the current build at the time of order.

Construction

• Conductor: ultra-thin pure tantalum wire
• Geometry: Stealth multicore distributed LITZ, the same geometry used in the Śakra
• Connectors: Stealth proprietary RCA and XLR with machined carbon fibre shells, solid silver XLR contacts and RCA centre pins, and solid silver ground/return on the RCAs
• Connector dielectric: ultra-modified PTFE (Teflon) in place of conventional PTFE, for a lower dielectric constant and reduced permeability

Specifications

• Type: line-level analog interconnect
• Terminations: RCA or XLR
• Conductor: pure tantalum
• Status: pre-release

Ordering
