London Decca Tonearm Cable

London Decca Reference Interconnect & Speaker Cables

The London Decca Reference Series cables are meticulously engineered to deliver exceptional sonic clarity and musical realism. At the core of the unbalanced interconnect design is a dual concentric ribbon geometry, with conductors wound in opposing directions to effectively cancel noise and preserve signal integrity. This same geometry is applied to the speaker cables using a heavier gauge to handle higher current flow while maintaining tonal balance.

Cables are a vital link in the audio signal chain, and their performance is directly tied to how well they interact with the amplifier and speakers. While many designs emphasize basic electrical specs—inductance, capacitance, and resistance—London Decca cables go a step further by addressing a critical but often overlooked factor: eddy current resistance

Eddy Currents

Eddy currents, which increase with frequency, behave similarly to inductance in that they interfere with signal transmission—but unlike inductance, they dissipate energy as heat instead of storing it. To minimize this loss, the London Decca cables are built with a low-mass architecture, countering the “bigger is better” myth that plagues many traditional designs. Capacitance is of little concern in most systems, as today’s amplifiers can easily handle standard cable loads without sonic compromise. Resistance, too, is generally insignificant except in extreme conditions involving long cable runs and high-power demands. Inductance, on the other hand, directly influences bandwidth and spatial presentation—where less is typically better, unless dealing with specific amplifier designs that require higher inductance for stability.

Key Factor

Another key factor is dielectric material. London Decca cables employ a highly stable, low-loss dielectric to ensure the preservation of low-level information and to reduce tonal coloration. Conductors are made from high-purity, oxygen-free mono-crystal copper in a low-mass format, chosen for its exceptional signal fidelity and natural tonal character. The result is a signal transmission path that is exceptionally neutral, dynamic, and free from artifact—true to the source and designed to meet the highest expectations of serious music lovers and professionals alike.
