Philmore Media Star cables employ better materials throughout. Pure copper conductors receive a refined tin plating to prevent chemical degradation which commonly begins to occur to raw copper within months of manufacture. This plating assures true fidelity without losses in the mid and high audio ranges for years. The inner cable is heavier than most (26ga. vs 28ga.) to reduce electrical resistance; shielding has also been increased. The outer PVC insulation is advanced (SRPVC) material that will increase life and durability by years. And the light grey color blends practically unnoticed into your home or office. Cable assemblies are molded for toughness. MediaStarcables may be used with complete confidence for your Personal Computers multimedia system, your personal stereo or your home audio system.
