Graham Slee Lautus USB Interconnect Cable (A - B)

Lautus USB Interconnect Cables, by Graham Slee.

The Lautus is not only a wonderful-sounding stereo audio cable, it will also keep interference at bay and deliver a really well-balanced sound quality. And compared with some interconnects the Lautus is terrific value for money.

The frequencies output from one type of preamp or another, or a DAC, or any piece of electronics that outputs an analogue signal, or even a digital signal such as S/PDIF or USB, will not be absolutely pure.

All signals have added distortion artefacts and together these are sent in cables. It is current flow and all currents flow in circles. In coaxial cables they go by the signal conductor and return by the shield (or should do if proper cable design practice is followed).

Cables need to have effective shielding to prevent EMF interference, and the Lautus has that effective shielding (or screening as it is known in some circles).
