Silver conducts better than any copper, and Perfect-Surface Silver is additionally processed for surface quality, because grain boundaries and roughness translate directly into distortion there. The construction around it remains uncompromising: FEP air tubes as dielectric, the three-layer carbon-based Noise-Dissipation System with full-surface coverage, the asymmetrical double-balanced geometry, and the 72-volt DBS that permanently biases the insulation. The RCA connectors are cold-welded and directly silver-plated onto Red-Copper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA terminated stereo pair with silver conductors, active DBS battery pack including test button and LED, and directly silver-plated RCA connectors. Available from 0.6 to 20 metres, special lengths and different terminations on request. The price is per stereo pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Angel suitable for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo be blunt: below a truly uncompromisingly built system, the Angel isn't the most sensible investment – there, the same budget spent on speakers, room acoustics, or the source brings more. In a system that's already resolved right up to its limit, on the other hand, it delivers exactly that last bit of openness that's hard to get with copper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Angel is a silver cable without the harshness silver is often accused of – more composed than spectacular, and that's exactly where its quality lies.

Perfect-Surface Silver in FEP air tubes behaves differently: more open and finely drawn, but tonally neutral. A system that's already bright doesn't get brighter from it, just more transparent, and a warm-tuned one doesn't lose its warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference to the Yosemite?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolely the conductor material. The Yosemite uses Perfect-Surface Copper+, the Angel uses solid Perfect-Surface Silver. FEP air tubes, the three-layer carbon system, the geometry, and the 72-volt DBS are the same in both. The silver is thus the only – but also by far the most expensive – component of this step up within the series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the Angel need a break-in period?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLess than comparable cables without a bias system. The DBS keeps the insulation constantly biased, so the condition right after plugging in comes close to that of a broken-in cable. A few hours of operation to mechanically settle the plug contacts still doesn't hurt, but that applies equally to any new cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat do you get from buying the Angel at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn honest assessment of whether your system can carry this class, and if in doubt, advice to spend the budget elsewhere instead.
