Appropriate Atlas Interconnects, dedicated to their respective purposes and interfaces will transmit faithfully all the information contained in the original source.
Price alone is not a guide to quality, because as evidenced from the awards they regularly win, Atlas cables often out-perform rivals costing many times more!
The Atlas Navigator All Cu (all copper) uses deletion free OCC for both the going and the return conductors and employs a PTFE dielectric together with a cotton yarn filler in order to reduce microphony. 100% rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI) is provided by an OCC braid and a copper mylar shield. The Navigator is a superior design that may be used for fully balanced systems with XLR plugs or as in the case of this cable, in a pseudo balanced fashion with the Atlas patented OCC copper RCA plug. The copper plug that's cold welded or crimped on to the conductors with an air tight seal, avoids the use of solder. Solder presents an unecessary barrier to the signal and at Atlas we believe the finest qualities result from the removal of barriers to the signal such as the use of solder or materials of differing characteristics from the signal carrying conductors, hence the OCC or All Cu plug; it provides more deletion free information. The Navigator together with the Atlas Voyager and the Atlas Compass are the first three interconnects in the range of Atlas super interconnects for high quality systems. The Navigator sounds analogue like in it's presentation, giving lots of stereo width, height and depth with an air around the instruments and an ambience. For those looking for a sophisticated and relaxed sound the Navigator is the interconnect to buy.
Try the Navigator All Cu together with the following speaker cables: Atlas Ascent 2.0, Atlas Ascent 3.50 or for bi wiring, the Atlas Ichor. Features:- Directional, symmetrical pseudo-balanced
- Double shielded with copper mylar plus close lapped 99.997% pure OCC copper multi-stranded screen providing 100% coverage for the avoidance of RFI
- Cotton filler for reduced microphony
- Twin concentric rope-lay stranded 99.9997% pure OCC copper multi-stranded conductors laid in a twisted fashion to reduce EMI and the effects of increased resistance from the proximity effect
- Polyethylene dielectrics to both conductors
- 8.5mm diameter with a soft PVC jacket
- Direct silver plated OCC copper, non-compressing, double screened, self-cleaning RCA plugs
