Since the launch of our top power cable, Demiurg more than a year has already passed. At that time, a concept of a new model was born. To be clear - we always try to ensure that our lineup is not artificially increased. We prefer to offer the best possible sound quality in one great product rather than to offer dozens of mediocre ones that do not bring anything valuable. Therefore, the main assumption during the creation of the Arbiter was to create a product that preserves our uncompromising approach, but with an exceptional price/sound quality ratio.
The development process lasted several months. Prototypes at each stage were verified in home audio systems - both advanced and entry-level ones. We wanted the Arbiter not to be the tone equalizer, or a medicine for the system's problems, but to be a factor that would trigger the potential of the device powered with it. At the same time, we wanted the future Arbiter' owners to enjoy performance improvement without wondering about the (sonic) cost, elements they “lost” while improving several others.
The Arbiter is a different cable compared to Demiurg, yet offering a high-class, colorful sound that denies stereotypes about silver cables. It is made of cryogenized 4N silver, which is produced for us according to our specification regarding metallurgy that is so important for the sound, or in other words we do not use off-the-shelf wires. Demiurg and Arbiter feature conductors made in lengths our cables are offered in. The cryogenization process has been developed and selected specifically for the design of this cable. The metallurgical process, which translates later into particular, important for us sonic values, makes it necessary to produce only short sections of wires, so we can't really make long runs.
The Arbiter is equipped with our passive EMI / RFI filter. This filter has unique filtering properties tuned perfectly for a consistent sound concept presented by the Arbiter. This system has been developed specifically for this cable and is one of many important elements of its tuning. Thanks to advanced shielding and passive filtration, the current delivered by the Arbiter is free from noise and granularity/impurity caused by interference. The Arbiter cable is hand-made from scratch.
