@jayctoy I’m not an engineer-type guy but I came across this review and I thought it might begin to address your question: http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue68/highfidelity_enhanced.htm Some highlights: "Without delving too deeply into the technology, it involves using magnets to maximize transmission through magnetically permeable conductors (presumably variants of mu metal) rather than the typical copper (and/or silver) used in 99.9% of conventional audio cables." - source: the reviewer "High Fidelity Cables are not tone control-based cables and do not impart a sonic signature like conventional high end cables made from silver, copper etc." - source: Rick Schultz The review does not state they are made from mu metal. He is presuming as much. I would have no idea. But I did google mu metal just to see what it means: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mu-metal |
Also, I just came across this Q&A excerpt from a webcast: "We use a solid core conductor that is a permalloy mixture. As you go up the line of products, we make the mixture more ferromagnetic. Mu metal is one of the key ingredients.... The cable is magnetized alloy [and] in most cases it has high nickel or carbon content. We have a metallurgist who owns part of the company [and] he helps determine the wire used." |
