Use the same material for signal and power supply lines

In the case of MM/MC cartridges, the cold side of the cable is used only as a ground, but in the case of optical cartridges, the cold side is used to supply power to the cartridge, making the handling of the cold side very important.

In the PH-001, the cold side, which is the power supply line to the cartridge, is made of the same material as the signal line and is treated completely like the signal line to ensure a more stable power supply to the cartridge.

Complete Shielding

Since the impedance of the light-receiving element of an optical cartridge is relatively high, non-shielded phono cables for MM/MMC cartridges may pick up extraneous noise.

However, the PH-001 is completely shielded with a silver-plated copper wire mesh shield, so external noise is blocked and a noiseless sound can be enjoyed.

RCA terminals machined from pure copper

Normally, brass and other materials are used for RCA terminals for ease of processing, but the PH-001 uses terminals machined from pure copper for the RCA terminals to realize a sound with more information and a sense of openness. (Machined from pure copper → gold plating)

Silver-plated copper wire is used for the cable material

The cable material used for PH-001 is Φ0.26mm/37 silver-plated copper wires with a conductor cross-sectional area of 1.964mm, which is extremely large. The shield is a braided shield structure, and silver-plated copper wire is used as the shield material.
