Product Description
Black Rhodium Quickstep Speaker Cable was created by applying the exclusive design features of the Black Rhodium’s most advanced loudspeaker cable; Thunder.
Sound Quality
Examining the differences between Thunder and other cables identified certain exclusive features of Thunder which were used to create a new range of loudspeaker cables. Quickstep uses the same cable as Foxtrot and is fitted with Graham Nalty Legacy Range GN-1 straight Line Contact rhodium plated plugs. Hand built at the Black Rhodium factory in Derby, it uses selected components and materials with a proven record for sound quality enhancement.
Low Transient Phase
Quickstep gives a very clear diction of a singer’s voice and separates musical instruments superbly through a dramatic reduction of ‘Transient Phase Distortion’. This is reduced by using thicker insulation than is usual in speaker cables, increasing the distance between conductors and thereby reducing the magnetic field seen in each conductor wire as a result of the magnetic field created by the current in the other conductor wire. A further increase in the distance between conductors is achieved by use of the attractive cable braid and this further reduces ‘Proximity Effect’ distortion.
Vibration Damping
By very substantially reducing this form of distortion, the music becomes clearer and more dynamic, with greater ambience and experience of the music’s emotional qualities. The construction of Quickstep includes the use of two separate and complementary materials that effectively damp Mechanical Vibrations within the cable without the expense of Vibration Stabilisers.
Anti RFI / EMI Technology
Quickstep uses RFI suppression technology originally development for high-end cables in its construction. This protects the signal wires from picking up radio frequency interference (RFI) generated from Radio, Wifi, Mobile Phones and even central heating systems. The result is less audible distortion allowing cleaner, clearer sounds to be enjoyed from your equipment.
Gold plated Z plugs
GN-1 rhodium plated Straight line Contact plugs Quickstep Loudspeaker cables are terminated with Graham Nalty Legacy Range GN-1 Straight Line Contact rhodium plated plugs. Rhodium plating is applied to the GN-1 plugs to ensure a cleaner and less corroded contact is maintained between the plug and socket and its effect a much livelier and more exciting sound from the music. Additional security of the connection between the cable and plug is provided by a set screw that clamps the outer insulation of the wire.
