The AC-2 MK II Power Cord is priced at $234.00 for a 6 foot length. The new Speaker Cables SS-1000 MK II and the SS-800 MK II are priced at $407.00 and $432.00 respectively per 8 foot pair.
April 8, 2005 (Press Release) --
These MK II versions are significant upgrades over the prior models. The improvements are in two specific areas: The weaving geometry for the Mark IIs is done with a planetary cabler. This weaving machine, which allows engineers more freedom in designing more complex and more effective weaving geometries, also produces a much more accurate and consistent weaving geometry. Accuracy and consistency from foot to foot is essential to replicate and realize the benefits of the theoretical “on paper” design. The process is much more labor intensive, primarily in the set up for the production run, and in monitoring during the run. Consequently, it is more expensive to produce.
Additionally, we use PTFE Teflon in most all of our cables; however, the insulation we are using for these new cables, while it is purchased as PTFE Teflon, we are modifying it during the wire manufacturing process. Again, a little more costly. Our modification to the PTFE Teflon insulation allows for substantial reduction of the signal discharge back into the metal conductor. Explanation: All insulations covering a metal wire will absorb a portion of the signal as it flows through the metal wire. That signal will discharge back into the metal wire, although it is delayed by a small fraction of time. This discharge back smears the real time signal that is passing through resulting in small but discernable distortion. We continue to use our proprietary Silverfuse alloy conductor material.
