Description

The TUBULUS Argentus Digital Interconnect V3 is based on high quality pure silver conductors. These are solid core conductors to minimize strand interaction, which is a major source of distortion.

The silver conductors are individually insulated by air. We use air insulation because (next to a vacuum) air is the best dielectric. This air insulation is made possible by a star quad tube construction, which can only be made by hand. The conductors are positioned in a star quad configuration to maximize noise rejection.

With a special thermo-process the silver conductors are restructured at a molecular level to reach a quality close to mono crystal silver.

The TUBULUS Argentus Digital Interconnect V3 is also equipped with 2 layers of very effective shielding to prevent electrical noise entering into the cable. This shielding has a 100% coverage.

The TUBULUS Argentus Digital Interconnect V3 is available with high quality silvered RCA plugs (S/PDIF) or XLR plugs (AES/EBU), which are soldered with silver containing solder.

TUBULUS digital interconnect cables are hand crafted with love, expertise and devotion with no excess decoration or luxury packaging and therefore true value for your money!

WHY BUY A TUBULUS DIGITAL INTERCONNECT CABLE?
A high end digital interconnect cable may sound like nonsense. After all it’s just 1’s and 0’s it has to transport. Any cable can do that. But those 1’s and 0’s have to be transported by a bunch of electrons traveling through a wire and electrons don’t know if they are ‘analog’ or ‘digital’. In fact, all electrical signals are analogue.

However, the digital signal is different; it is a pulse train, a square wave instead of a sine. But a perfect square wave doesn’t exist, because transition from one to zero requires time. So there is always a rise/fall time and the edges of the square wave will be rounded. In fact the square wave is a kind of trapezium with rounded edges.

Depending on the quality of the cable, the corners of the square wave will round off to a greater or lesser degree and the “flat” portions of the wave will become uneven as well. Small changes will make it harder for the receiver to detect the exact moment the rise or fall is happening. This will induce jitter. And if the changes become too big, the receiver will not even be able to reconstruct the logical 1’s and 0’s properly.

This is why a high quality digital interconnect cable like the TUBULUS Argentus can make great improvements in sound quality.

    I’m very happy with the Tubulus digital interconnect.
    It’s a enormous improvement compared to my JK-acoustics reference digital interconnect.
    A lot more detail and no longer sharp esses and tees.

    Ik ben erg blij met de Tubulus digitale interlink,
    Een enorme verbetering ten op zichte van mijn vorige jk-acoustics reference digitale interlink.
    Veel meer detail en eindelijk eens geen scherpe s en t meer.

    After connecting the Tubulus Argentus digital interlink, I listened intently.
    My compliments, it’s very good.
    I compared it with a NFO digital interconnect, the Nordost Silver Shadow (€ 550,-) and the Stealth Varidig Sextet ($ 2700,-).
    Of all these digital interconnects I find the Tubulus digital interconnect clearly the best.

    Original Review (Dutch)
    Na het aansluiten van de Tubulus Argentus digitale interlink heb ik er aandachtig naar geluisterd.
    Mijn complimenten, hij is erg goed.
    Ik heb hem vergeleken met een NFO digitale interlink, de Nordost Silver Shadow (€550,-) en de Stealth Varidig Sextet ($2700,-).
    De Tubulus digitale interlink vind ik van deze interlinks duidelijk de beste.
