The Spanish name \"Salto Ángel,\" and the English name \"Angel Falls,\" come from Jimmie Angel's surname. Angel was a US aviator who was the first to fly over the falls. In addition to its singular status as a waterfall, and the above-and-beyond status of angels, pure-silver Angel cable gets its name in part because Ag is the chemical name for silver. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch4\u003eSolid 100% Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) Conductors\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003ePerfect-Surface Technology applied to extreme-purity silver provides unprecedented clarity and dynamic contrast. Solid conductors prevent strand interaction, a major source of cable distortion. Extremely high-purity Perfect-Surface Silver minimizes distortion caused by the grain boundaries which exist within any metal conductor, nearly eliminating harshness and greatly increasing clarity compared to OFHC, OCC, 8N and other coppers. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch4\u003eFEP Air-Tube Insulation\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAny solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then later released as distortion. All of Angel's conductors use Air-Tube insulation because air absorbs next to no energy, and FEP is the best extrudable solid insulation and absorbs less energy than other materials. The FEP Air-Tubes used in Angel have almost nothing but air around the solid PSS conductors. (FEP is a Fluoro-Polymer.) \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch4\u003eDielectric-Bias System\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAll insulation slows down the signal on the conductor inside. When insulation is unbiased, it slows down parts of the signal differently, a big problem for very time-sensitive multi-octave audio. AudioQuest's DBS creates a strong, stable electrostatic field which saturates and polarizes (organizes) the molecules of the insulation. This minimizes both energy storage in the insulation and the multiple nonlinear time-delays that occur. Sound appears from a surprisingly black background with unexpected detail and dynamic contrast. The DBS battery packs will last for years. A test button and LED allow for the occasional battery check. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch4\u003eCarbon-Based 3-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) \u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e100% shield coverage is easy.

The Angel does sound more refined than either of the lower models. It has more airy treble, better low-level resolution, and an overall more coherent sound.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFEP Air-Tube Insulation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAny solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then later released as distortion. All of Angel's conductors use Air-Tube insulation because air absorbs next to no energy, and FEP is the best extrudable solid insulation and absorbs less energy than other materials. The FEP Air-Tubes used in Angel have almost nothing but air around the solid PSS conductors. (FEP is a Fluoro-Polymer.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDielectric-Bias System\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAll insulation slows down the signal on the conductor inside. When insulation is unbiased, it slows down parts of the signal differently, a big problem for very time-sensitive multi-octave audio. AudioQuest's DBS creates a strong, stable electrostatic field which saturates and polarizes (organizes) the molecules of the insulation. This minimizes both energy storage in the insulation and the multiple nonlinear time-delays that occur. Sound appears from a surprisingly black background with unexpected detail and dynamic contrast. The DBS battery packs will last for years. A test button and LED allow for the occasional battery check.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCarbon-Based 3-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e100% shield coverage is easy.

This minimizes both energy storage in the insulation and the multiple nonlinear time-delays that occur. Sound appears from a surprisingly black background with unexpected detail and dynamic contrast.

The Spanish name \"Salto Ángel,\" and the English name \"Angel Falls,\" come from Jimmie Angel's surname. Angel was a US aviator who was the first to fly over the falls. In addition to its singular status as a waterfall, and the above-and-beyond status of angels, pure-silver Angel cable gets its name in part because Ag is the chemical name for silver. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch4\u003eSolid 100% Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) Conductors\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003ePerfect-Surface Technology applied to extreme-purity silver provides unprecedented clarity and dynamic contrast. Solid conductors prevent strand interaction, a major source of cable distortion. Extremely high-purity Perfect-Surface Silver minimizes distortion caused by the grain boundaries which exist within any metal conductor, nearly eliminating harshness and greatly increasing clarity compared to OFHC, OCC, 8N and other coppers. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch4\u003eFEP Air-Tube Insulation\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eAny solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then later released as distortion. All of Angel's conductors use Air-Tube insulation because air absorbs next to no energy, and FEP is the best extrudable solid insulation and absorbs less energy than other materials. The FEP Air-Tubes used in Angel have almost nothing but air around the solid PSS conductors.

When insulation is unbiased, it slows down parts of the signal differently, a big problem for very time-sensitive multi-octave audio. AudioQuest's DBS creates a strong, stable electrostatic field which saturates and polarizes (organizes) the molecules of the insulation. This minimizes both energy storage in the insulation and the multiple nonlinear time-delays that occur. Sound appears from a surprisingly black background with unexpected detail and dynamic contrast. The DBS battery packs will last for years. A test button and LED allow for the occasional battery check. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch4\u003eCarbon-Based 3-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) \u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e100% shield coverage is easy.

In addition to its singular status as a waterfall, and the above-and-beyond status of angels, pure-silver Angel cable gets its name in part because Ag is the chemical name for silver. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch4\u003eSolid 100% Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) Conductors\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003ePerfect-Surface Technology applied to extreme-purity silver provides unprecedented clarity and dynamic contrast. Solid conductors prevent strand interaction, a major source of cable distortion.

Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then later released as distortion. All of Angel's conductors use Air-Tube insulation because air absorbs next to no energy, and FEP is the best extrudable solid insulation and absorbs less energy than other materials. The FEP Air-Tubes used in Angel have almost nothing but air around the solid PSS conductors.

When insulation is unbiased, it slows down parts of the signal differently, a big problem for very time-sensitive multi-octave audio. AudioQuest's DBS creates a strong, stable electrostatic field which saturates and polarizes (organizes) the molecules of the insulation. This minimizes both energy storage in the insulation and the multiple nonlinear time-delays that occur. Sound appears from a surprisingly black background with unexpected detail and dynamic contrast. The DBS battery packs will last for years. A test button and LED allow for the occasional battery check. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch4\u003eCarbon-Based 3-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) \u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e100% shield coverage is easy.
