Analysis Plus Silver Oval Interconnect

"It's Sonic Signature is Wide Open" – The Absolute Sound

Analysis Plus Silver Oval interconnects use pure silver over a stabilizing strand of oxygen-free copper that's braided into the hollow oval geometry. They'll make a positive, dramatic difference in your system.

"Its sonic signature is wide open, dynamically unrestricted, and seamless across the entire sonic spectrum," notes The Absolute Sound magazine, November 2018. "Silver-Oval’s balance is superb, as neutral as they come with a breathtaking level of micro-dynamic nuance. The other factor going in its favor is the very low noise-floor that this wire brings to bear – a quality that boosts and broadens dynamic range in every octave."

"Analysis Plus keeps providing further evidence that the sonic gap between reference cable and its more affordable rivals is closing fast," The Absolute Sound concludes.

Revolutionary Hollow Oval Design

Analysis Plus is uniquely qualified as an authority on speaker cable design. The Detroit-based company earned its reputation testing and analyzing cables for leading cable manufacturers whose names you'd recognize in a flash. After examining the best, Analysis Plus decided it could do even better by developing its own proprietary hollow-oval conductor design.

Why the unique conductor geometry? Mark Markel and Qinwei Sun, the chief engineers at Analysis Plus, determined that round cable used in conventional speaker cable designs has high levels of current bunching, skin effect phenomenon, and other frequency characteristics that degrade signal quality. Rectangular conductors were a little better, but these suffered high electric field values caused by sharp corners which can also cut into and injure the dielectric when the cable is flexed.

After many computer simulations, Analysis Plus found that a hollow oval cable was the best design due to its minimal change in resistance with frequency, plus other benefits. The company chose a flexible, braided conductor rather than the conventional solid conductor, which is susceptible to kinks and deformations with resulting signal degradation. A unique woven pattern places every wire statistically as close to the return current as every other wire for evenly distributed high-current density and superior sound.

Improvements Are "Positive, Dramatic and Immediately Apparent"

"The differences wrought in my system by the addition of the Analysis Plus Silver Oval speaker cables and interconnects are positive, dramatic and immediately apparent," reports Clement Perry in Stereo Times. "I can't recommend the Analysis Plus Silver Oval more highly."

"The differences wrought in my system by the addition of the Analysis Plus Silver Oval speaker cables and interconnects are positive, dramatic and immediately apparent - quite an achievement when you stop to consider that I already use a reference-caliber product..."

"The AP produced, to my amazement, greater inner detail as a direct result of its more natural, thus superior, dimensionality. The sound of Hargrove's muted trumpet - rather its intricacies - the sound of air moving through the horn gave it greater presence and spatial localization. The same is true of Keith Jarrett. Here, with Jack DeJohnette's delicate cymbal work, the initial snap and resonance from Gary Peacock's double bass, could not better illustrate these cables' superiority. I can't recommend the Analysis Plus Silver Oval more highly."

"The Analysis Plus Silver Ovals makes my system sound more real. These cables have taken my system closer to the Absolute Sound."
