SILVERCORD PLUS (for Grace tonearms 707, 714 etc)

Pure, solid OCC Silver – StarQuad tonearm cable. 1.00m length.

With KLE Innovations Copper Harmony Plugs and a male 5pole tonearm connector for Grace tonearms.

SILVERCORD PLUS is a pure, continuous casting silver cable designed specifically for the low level signal of the the phono cartridges. This extremely detailed interconnect phono cable does not require an entire silver signal path on your system to show its qualities. It is open and fast, without the typical brightness of silver cables. Its high purity silver cores in combination with the most appropriate dielectrics and geometries allow a truly natural and neutral performance which does not lack body or musicality. Music is crystal clear with a well defined mid-range and upper bass.

Silvercord Plus.features 4 solid OCC silver cores in an all air-Teflon multilayer dielectric and a starquad geometry.

The assembly is fully shielded by two layers of screening. Underneath the dense, tight weave silver plated OFC copper braid there is a nickel and copper fiber mesh to offer additional protection with added coverage and materials suitable for a broad range of frequencies. The cable is finished with an extremely flexible silicone jacket. This symmetrical, low capacitance cable (35pF/m) uses the same exactly high purity Ohno Continuous Casting silver as our top line cables. SILVERCORD PLUS has a very flexible and lightweight yet robust and durable construction allowing its use with ease, regardless any equipment and set-up space restrictions.

Silvercord Plus is neither an “off the reel” cable finished with good quality plugs, nor a DIY project with a fragile construction, unaccounted electrical properties and questionable performance. It is the product of extensive research and development, entirely hand crafted by ourselves and it meets the highest standards in the industry

Despite its professional design, construction and finish, SILVERCORD PLUS is a no-frills cable. This approach allows us to offer it at a very competitive price. As always, our pricing is a direct reflection of cost of materials and work required to produce the cable. Nothing more and nothing less. Price is not an indicator of performance and this cable will put in shame cables costing many times more. We are really happy to have created such a cable at a price that can be affordable to more customers, preserving all the essential electrical characteristics and sonic qualities for a truly unique and enjoyable listening experience

The cable is finished with an airtight, purple (translucent) flexible silicone jacket.

The listed cable has a length of 1.00m . Other lengths are available upon request.

For more details, other available options and an image galery of Silvercord Plus as well as our other handmade cable designs you can also vist the y.tome audio cables websites

This version of Silvercor Plus is suitable for all Grace tonearms that have a corresponding female socket (i.e.707/714/860/940/960/565/545 etc). Please, always check your tonearm to make sure that it is is fitted with a suitable socket before ordering.

The tonearm connector used here features a lightweight aluminium housing with clear, non conductive finish, Teflon insulation and gold plated brass pins. This type of male 5pin connector interface is the nearest matching alternative to the original Grace connector which is not produced any longer. We pre-fit each cable in order to adjust its pins and ensure a good match with the female tonearm socket.

The RCA plugs featured on this listing are the Copper Harmony Plugs by KLEI Innovations (silver plated copper) and feature a single point ground design. Other types of RCA connectors can be fitted on the cable upon request at different prices.

!Note that the new version of the Copper Harmony plugs comes with RED & WHITE identification bands (not blue & red)!

All cables are made on order and we are happy to offer bespoke service. We can produce these cables, at different lengths and according to your own specifications for various tonearms and phono amplifiers, so feel free to get in touch for more details and a quote.

THE SILVERCORD LINE OF ANALOGUE INTERCONNECT CABLES

The Silvercord line features low capacitance, handcrafted, pure OCC silver, solid core cables. It is designed to offer outstanding sonic performance, by professionally constructed and finished cable assemblies. At the same time, these cables have a minimal, ‘no frills’ appearance which allows us to offer them at very competitive prices despite the high quality of their materials.

All of our handmade cables are researched, designed and produced by ourselves in our workshop in Wales using raw materials. We do not use off the reel cables or pre-insulated conductors and all the cables are made on order to our customers’ specifications. We are responsible for all production and distribution so that our selling prices are free from any marketing and distribution overheads.

In 2014 we decided to design a line of analogue audio cables which could deliver very similar performance to our CLIO cables but it could also be offered at an even more affordable price. A year later we launched the first "Silvercord" cables followed by the "Silvercord Plus". In 2016 the " Coppercord series" was also added to the line whith the final product intorduced in 2021 (Silvercord Duo24). The Silvercord & Coppercord lines today consists of various cable designs for phono applications followed by their corresponding designs for line level applications.

All of the phono cable designs in the Silvercord & Coppercord lines share some common principles: Very low capacitance, high purity continuous casting silver or copper conductors, insulation with very low dielectric involvement, heavy shielding using a minimum of a silver plated OFC copper braid with 98% optical coverage (this is one of the finest shielding braids available in the market, by far exceeding the standards of the shields used on audio cables) and a minimal but elegant appearance with a very flexible outer cable jacket.

The challenge with such cable designs is to assemble and finish them in a manner that ensures consistency of the conductors alignment, durability against regular handling, resistance to the environmental impact, and a user friendly profile with suitable mechanical characteristics. Although the above seem straightforward and they are taken for given, they are usually absent from most handmade (and not only) high end cables. The finish of the cables is kept as minimal as possible but we have chosen to use a high quality airtight insulation for the cable jacket. Braided sleeves that are often used on handmade cables may look appealing but unless the cable assembly is properly finished with a suitable cable jacket, the braided sleeve will not offer any substantial protection to the cable. Braided sleeves allow air and moisture to penetrate a cable that does not have a proper jacket resulting to oxidization of the metal parts and higher levels of energy storing by the cable dielectric over a short period of time. At the same time braided sleeves offer very little in maintaining the dimensional stability of the cable and mechanically support to the inner assembly. They overall offer a very poor electrical isolation between the cable and its environment and their main role is to be used as an added layer of protection against vibration and handling; not to replace the cable jacket itself.

The extremely flexible jackets we use on the SIlvercord & Coppercord cables, along with a combination of solid and medium density inner insulation and fine stranded braided shields result to a highly flexible profile. You will find that not only the sonic performance of the Silvercord & Coppercord cables is well above what their price suggests, but also their craftsmanship is beyond one’s expectations for such modest cables.

In a nutshell, the main reasons for choosing one of our Cord Series cables:

- One of the most effective shielding arrangements with a very high coverage and skin depth and low impedance to the ground

- Very low capacitance

- Extremely flexible (for ease of installation and minimal mechanical feedback/strain on the interconnected components)

- Outstanding build quality and finish to ensure consistent performance and durability over a very long period of time.

- Dedicated, precision executed design, to accommodate optimal geometry, dielectric and conductor material.

ABOUT US

We are a small family business and we design and produce analogue audio cables. All of our products are produced in our workshop in Wales and they are sold directly through our website and our ebay shop. Our products can be separated in two main categories: “custom made cables” and “handmade cables”. We use the term “custom made” to describe our work on branded, “off the reel” cables by Canare, Van Damme, Mogami, Belden etc. On the other hand our “handmade cables” (i.e. Silvercord , Coppercord, Clio, Gaia, etc) are designed and handcrafted by ourselves using entirely raw materials.

If you have any specific requirements, please do contact us in advance and we will do our best to help. Note that most customisations will affect the price of the cable depending on the cost of the necessary parts.
Many thanks for visiting our listing
