“Audiomica went to great lengths to ensure that very high quality materials went into their Cristal Silver Signature collection. The conductors comprise of 7N purity mono-crystal Ohno Continuous Cast copper. This process that was developed by Professor Ohno from the Chiba Institute of Technology in Japan and patented in 1986, draws out copper wire extremely slowly which extends the length of the copper grain and reduces their numbers to 210 per meter and restricts impurities to just around twenty parts per million. This ensures that the electrons encounter fewer impurities and minimize the transitions from one grain to another to deliver a smoother and purer sound”.
