DH Labs Prelude Speaker Cable

"Vibration damping fibers" [sic] - why didn't I think of that? Why, all speaker cables vibrate, don't they???
Oh, and "Continuous Crystal (TM) copper conductors. Yeah, right... Rolls Royce andd Pratt & Witney aero engine fan blades, maybe, but continuous crrystals in speaker wire? I doubt it.

OCC (Ono continuous casting) copper is pretty common, and standard for any audio cable wishing to boast about its audiophile properties.Benedict_Arnold said:
Anyway, it is a thing and not particularly exotic

I see what you did there. You made the connection between a fairly common surname and the only famous person you know with that surname and then threw in a pun that works much better with the English pronunciation of the name than the proper Japanese one. Very cleverspiny norman said:
Sorry, probably would've worked better for me if I didn't live in Japan and speak Japanese.
Are you also highly amused by the surname Takeshita? No, it's not pronounced anything like that, but hearing the proper pronunciation would spoil the joke.
Actually, you didn't see what I did there: I was merely pointing out that OCC stands for 'Ohno Continuous Casting', not 'Ono', as you would know if you lived in blah blah blah and weren't quite so atama warui and patronising.ID. said:I see what you did there.

I remember guys who had worked at Rolls Royce Filton telling me th story about how they accidentally produced the first single crystal turbine blade, how they tested it on the tensile machine, which it broke, then on the Charpy machine, which it also broke, how they had great truble cutting it up, and how they ended up discovering it was a single crystal by x-raying it or something. It was donated to the Science Museum where it probably sits unappreciated in a cardboard box in one of those warehouses like the closing scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark.ID. said:
Since then RR perfected reproducing the accident on purpose and now all their turbine blades are one single crystal.
It's application to copper wire I hadn't heard of before. It sounds (pun intended) a bit extreme to me, but, if your hifi is good enough to demand $1000 an inch speaker cables, fine. I just can't see it being available at the price point they are at for their speaker cables, but I am open to being edjumacated about it....
I'll talk to guys at Duco, Multiflex and Nexans - subsea umbilical makers - and see what they say. If anyone's likely to be using single crystal wires it's them.
