Description
When building an audio system, connections using various cables are essential.
In recent years, it has become common practice to replace cables to improve sound quality.
However, no matter how high-performance or expensive a cable is, it is always exposed to the threat of invisible vibrations and noise, and simply connecting it will not allow it to perform at its full potential.
To solve this problem, it was found that using insulators on the cables to counter vibrations was an effective solution, but conventional insulators that are placed on the floor have very limited uses and are only effective against vibrations from the floor.
To address these issues, KRYNA has developed an unprecedented method: a special damping solution is sealed in a spiral tube that surrounds the cable 360 degrees.
This method was devised by the founder, Ryukei Ina, and took five years to realize.
The special damping liquid contained in "Helca 1" is called "sticky solution," and is a technology developed through joint research with Professor Kiminobu Nishimura of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Kinki University, in the development of insulators such as D-PROP and C-PROP.
This solution is highly transparent, has a viscous liquid similar to mochi, and is characterized by its springiness.
Unlike water or oil, this mysterious physical property, which could be called a "solution spring," absorbs harmful vibrations and eliminates minute vibrations that have a particular impact on music playback.
The cable passes through a spiral tube filled with this "sticky solution," which provides high protection not only against external vibrations but also against noise.
It also reduces the impact of the vibrations and noise it emits on the outside world.
This removes muddy sound caused by vibrations and noise, restoring the original sound of the cable.
It can be used regardless of the installation environment or type of cable, and is extremely effective for overlapping cables behind racks and cables that are not grounded but are instead installed above the ground.
●Effects of using Helca 1
<
・Muddy and blurred sound is removed, resulting in a clear and intelligible sound. ・Additional sounds clinging to vocals are removed.
1. Effect when used as a power cable
・Each note becomes clearer ・A sense of energy emerges ・Positioning becomes clearer ・Sound becomes clearer ・Roughness is removed and the sound becomes clearer
2. Effect when used with digital cables
・Especially effective in expanding the sound field ・Creates depth and height, creating a three-dimensional sound field
3. Effect when used with RCA cables
・Improved S/N ratio eliminates noisy parts, resulting in a clear and crisp sound. ・Removes muffled low frequencies, resulting in a clear and vibrant sound.
4. Effect when used as speaker cable
・High resolution ・Low frequencies become more prominent
Compatible cable diameter: up to 20 mm Compatible cable length: 0.75 to 1.5 m
*The tube is stretchable, so you can use it to fit the length of your cable.
*When using with cables longer than 1.5m, please connect two cables together.
*Product specifications, standards, design, and price may be changed without notice for improvement purposes.
