Black Rhodium Tempo GN Legacy RCA Interconnects

Black Rhodium Tempo GN Legacy RCA is a purple twisted cable delivering stunning musical results; a top flight interconnect at home both at the highest and lowest frequencies.

What's New?

The design of Tempo is based very closely on the very popular CODA interconnect cable with two important differences. Firstly, the insulation of the individual conductors is increased from a thickness of 0.6mm to 1.2mm to reduce Transient Phase Distortion. The other difference is in the cables which are now encased in an attractive violet coloured expandable braid.

The reason behind this thicker conductor insulation is that when two electrical conductors carry an electrical current, the magnetic field produced by the current in one conductor affects the resistance of the other conductor (Proximity Effect).

Lower Distortion

As the loudspeaker load is reactive, the current and voltage in the speaker cable are not in phase and the modulation effect produces a ‘Transient Phase Distortion’ signal that distorts sound quality.

By moving the conductors further away, the magnetic field (which reduces inversely proportionally to the distance) on the other cable is lowered and the Transient Phase Distortion is less audible. This effect can easily be observed when listening to complex musical signals such as massed choirs and large orchestras.

Enhanced Sound

Tempo cables are twisted together, thus preventing the cable from acting as a loop aerial for airborne radio frequency interference which can cause audible distortion to the sound quality. Tempo retains features that have made CODA a very popular cable with consumers and that led it win a Best Buy award in Hi-Fi Choice magazine.

The positive and negative cores are connected in opposite directions and both cables are connected in the same direction to lower the noise floor between musical notes. This gives ‘blacker’ silences in the interval between musical notes and enhances reproduction of the musical edges and natural decays in music.

Features

Silicone rubber insulation is used because its low dielectric loss ensures extremely low distortion due to dielectric absorption effects in which sound energy is absorbed in the insulation and released at a later interval of time to create highly audible time-smearing distortion.

Eichmann Bullet RCA phono plugs are fitted on account of their superior sound quality to metal body plugs. It is terminated with Graham Nalty Legacy Range GN-3G RCA Connectors to reduce distortio through design and improve sound and contact via high-quality gold plating.
