OUTPUT 5cm/S:4mV FREQ RANGE:20Hz - 29kHz RESPONSE 20Hz-20kHz:+2 -0 dB TRACKING 315Hz:[greaterthansign]90uM LATERAL COMPLIANCE:25 uM/mN STYLUS TYPE:FG70 5/70 uM STYLUS REPLACEMENT:STY40 STYLUS TIP MASS:0.30 mG TRACKING FORCE: 1.25-1.75 Gr LOAD IMPEDANCE: [greaterthansign]47kOhm, 200-500pF CARTRIDGE WEIGHT: 18.5 Gram The advantage of the integrated design is that the arm wand, cartridge coils and cantilever are in alignment. This creates a better path for vibration dispersion. The result is great midrange transparency and powerful punchy bass. These are custom assembled by KAB.

The Silver Reference Signature Interconnect represents the pinnacle of Verastarr interconnect design. It is similar, in design, to the Silver Reference although the design goes one step further and separates the signal and return into 2 completely separate, shielded conductors. This absolutely eliminates any chance whatsoever of interaction between the two. The result is stunning. A perfectly quiet, transparent design. You will hear your source in intricate detail. This is a perfect reference interconnect to use when critiquing different sources due to its sonically invisible nature. Only our trademark 99.99% Silver covered 99.999% HCOFC metal is used, even in the braid shield. Only pure Teflon is used for minimum dielectric absorption. The outer braid is 100% Kevlar for reduction in static buildup. The connectors are WBT of Germany.

Silver Reference Speaker Cables are cost-no-object design and represent the pinnacle of our speaker cable designs. They are meticulously hand-created in very low numbers. The cables are comprised of 4 separate runs; 2 for each speaker. Each run has a quad-braid geometry consisting of 4 separate shielded sub-runs. Each of the 4 sub-runs is a dual helix geometry with 2 separate 20 Ga., individually Teflon-insulated, 99.99% pure Silver Covered 99.999% HCOFC for the most neutral, transparent signal delivery money can buy (16-20Ga. conductors per speaker, which means 12Ga per polarity, or 9Ga. per speaker). Each of the sub runs is individually pure Silver braid shielded on top of being in a dual-helix twist for the ultimate in RFI and EMI rejection. This level of protection also makes this design impervious to power cords, and static from laying directly on carpet...no need for cable elevators. We realize this design is massively overbuilt, but this helps eliminate cables as a possible culprit when debugging. As on all Silver Reference Cables, the connectors are the best made; WBT of Germany. These cables are made to order and each pair is custom. We can make any length and configuration. The Cables are 100% Money-Back satisfaction guaranteed, no questions asked. These cables will not only astound you with their uncanny natural sound, but their beauty is a statement in itself.
