Flatwave

Wave flat not round – Chris Sommovigo of Black Cat Cable slips Flatwave into his Coppertone cable range without raising the pricing. "The new conductor is a small pure copper ribbon flattened in-house with a precision rolling machine. It then pulls through our Airwave tooling, shaping it into a sinusoidal form that remains substantially suspended in air once I hand place it within Coppertone's thin-walled PTFE tube to keep capacitance low and velocity high. Our Lovecraft Mini RCA terminate the interconnect, our XOX direct-plated copper bananas terminate the speaker cable." Pricing is $249/0.5m/pr for the interconnects (+$50/+0.5m/pr) and $399/2.5m/pr for the speaker cables (+$50/+0.5m/pr).
