Description
Purple is a colour almost nobody makes cable in, which is most of the appeal. Purple and carbon strands woven over a black jacket give it depth rather than flatness — it reads purple across a room and resolves into two threads when you pick it up. Against a sunburst finish or rosewood it looks deliberate in a way a plain purple cable wouldn’t.
Underneath is the Sommer SC-Spirit LLX, at 15.8 pF/ft (52 pF/m) the lowest capacitance of any cable on the market. Capacitance is what rolls the top end off a signal as the run gets longer, which is why a 30-foot cable usually sounds duller than a 10-foot one. The LLX gives up about as little as a cable can, so a long run still arrives with its detail intact. A 21AWG oxygen-free copper conductor of 19 fine strands sits inside a braided OFC shield over a carbon screen.
The sleeving sits outside the jacket, so it changes nothing electrically — it’s the layer that takes the wear instead of the cable. Terminated with G&H Bigfoot nickel connectors in nickel housings, hand-soldered with lead-free ROHS-compliant silver solder, built to order and tested before it ships. Backed by our lifetime warranty.
The Turquoise Tweed is the original of the series and runs the same weave in turquoise and carbon. Or take the LLX unsleeved, in plain matte black with nothing over it.
