TECHNICAL The Matisse Gold Reference Interconnect Cable has been designed as a balanced twisted pair, utilizing solid core conductors of silver clad high purity copper, with PTFE (teflon) insulation.  The basic parameters of design philosophy are based on highly detailed measurements and empirical observations of how cables behave A4th respect to dielectric and conductor materials used.  We at Matisse believe that although the use of exotic dielectric and conductor materials are advantageous, they are essentially secondary in importance to the fundamental physical properties of the conductor itself.  The conductor used in the Matisse Cable is critically dimensioned (0.6mm) solid core high purity copper with silver plating.  Through extended period of listening, we found this to be more satisfying than other exotic alternatives like solid silver.  We also specifically prefer solid core conductors to multi-strand types which can tend to introduce subtle glare to the sound and a loss of inner details.  The Matisse Cable is also designed for very high mechanical integrity.  The Cable geometry remains stable and is immune from outside signal and acoustic interference.
