Non-Magnetic Connections

Non-magnetic connections minimize micro-microphone modulations in the current path. In a power supply capacitor, the current flows not only through the coil, but also through the connecting wires and contact points — and this is exactly where ferromagnetic materials can produce undesired effects. Non-magnetic connection materials avoid magnetization and hysteresis in the conductor and thus reduce current-synchronous, very fine impedance modulations. This is a micro-microphonic measure in the actual power path: The connection is closer to the ideal conductor, without “magnetic interference.” In addition, there is additional electrotechnical benefit because non-magnetic, highly conductive materials often lower and stabilize contact and transition resistances. As a result, energy is available more evenly at the amplifier stage — and the sound remains quieter and more controlled.

Tonal effects

• quieter background and less “grit” with complex music
• more stable transients because the current path is less finely modulated
• clearer contours and cleaner room images at high levels
• more consistent sound quality due to more stable contact and conduction conditions

PTFE/FEP Insulated

• Material: PTFE or FEP
• Very low dielectric constant
• Very low dielectric loss factor
• Very low dielectric absorption, resulting in reduced energy storage in the insulator
• Sound effect: clear transients, clear transients, calm spatial imaging, high consistency of details
• Applications: High-quality internal wiring, speaker cables, demanding signal paths

PTFE and FEP are among the most electrically stable insulation materials. Their minimal interaction with the conductor’s electric field supports precise and temporally clean signal transmission.
