BLACK RHODIUM Prelude will give you greater dynamics and more emotion in your music thanks to a special application of low noise instrumentation cable engineering. By special design techniques for reducing impact induced noise voltages, PRELUDE not only reduces your systems susceptibility to microphony, but also enables you to hear a much clearer rendition of your favourite music, with darker silences between more accurately formed notes. Finally the cables are bound together in stereo pairs to deliver a further audible sound quality improvement.
Prelude delivers
Silver-plated Copper conductors for clearer mid and high frequencies.
Low loss PTFE insulation for tighter control of the sound of bass instruments.
Employs advanced instrument cable techniques to reduce microphonic noise.
Attractive green finish adds appeal.
Hourglass silhouette phono plugs for ease of insertion and extraction from equipment.
Cable pairs are twisted together for extra clarity of sound and improved imagery.
Hear the benefits
Enhanced ambience.
Wider dynamic range.
More accurate portrayal of the emotional qualities of the music.
Very tight clean bass.
This new interconnect is marketed partly on the strength of its low 'microphonic distortion'. Microphony in cables is not a new concern, but Black Rhodium claims to have reduced it to lower levels than usual thanks to some confidential technique.
It's true that if this cable is connected to an amp input, with the other end left unconnected, and whacked, very little noise comes out - less than with plenty of (but not all) other cables we've tried, but as usual there's probably more to it than that.
The use of PTFE insulation, silver-plated conductors and simple coaxial construction is a well-established formula for good cable performance, and the twisting together of the pair can only help reduce hum pickup. Highly flexible, it is terminated in good-quality phono plugs with a split centre pin for extra grip.
The sound of this cable is good in many different ways. The bass is strong, clear and tuneful, while there's no obvious sign of any tonal imbalance in the all-important midband. Perhaps if one is to be ultra-fussy, the 'presence' band (upper midrange) is lifted and the sound has a 'fast' character as a result, but this is really very mild.
Treble is on the dry side, we felt, closing in the acoustic space around instruments in the finest recordings, but on the whole we'd expect to pay more than �80 to improve on that. In line with this finding, detail stops just short of truly excellent, but imaging is precise and deep.
