The VH Audio Pulsar miniature coaxial cable is designed for shielded analog interconnects as well as SPDIF digital interconnects, which require 75 ohm impedance.
All versions of the Pulsar provide double-shielding, with foil and a SILVER-plated copper braid. The silver plated braid adds the benefit of a low impedance path to ground, and preserves the high-end "sparkle" missing in many copper-based analog IC's. All Pulsar variants also use a thin, solid FEP dielectric with no pigments (clear) for the jacket material.
The Pulsar now comes in THREE variants:
1) The original Pulsar wire utilizes a fine 28 AWG single, solid core OFHC BARE copper center conductor, surrounded by a solid FEP dielectric. The use of the fine 28 AWG BARE copper center conductor eliminates the brightness found in many silver plated copper designs. Outside diameter is only .118", and the cable is quite flexible. Capacitance = 19.0 pF per foot. Deep Cryogenically treated. Click for more details or Read Reviews

2)NEW ITEM! VH Audio is very pleased to announce the Pulsar Cu II. The Pulsar Cu II is identical to the Pulsar Ag (below), but uses a solid 24 AWG UniCrystal OCC copper center conductor. The Pulsar Cu II is VH Audio's 'Statement' copper based design for true 75 ohm digital SPDIF applications, and its use for shielded analog interconnects is so profoundly good- it will compete favorably with ANY shielded interconnect on the market, regardless of price.
At the core of the Pulsar Cu II is VH Audo's UniCrystal™ 24 AWG high purity SOLID UniCrystal OCC Copper conductor, manufactured using the OCC process (Ohno Continuous Cast). This process results in a conductor without the typical grain boundaries of conventional wire processing methods. The UniCrystal™ copper wire is then annealed to a dead soft state (in an inert nitrogen atmosphere), further improving sonic performance. Next, VH Audio's proprietary AirLok™ dielectric is applied as the core, in order to achieve the correct, consistently precise impedance of 75 ohms. In fact, this step is performed with such precision that 2-3X the finished length of cable may end up as "scrap" during the production process, as the AirLok™ is "dialed-in" to the correct parameters. The AirLok™ dielectric is VH Audio's proprietary form of foamed/cellular Fluoropolymer that achieves a dielectric coefficient of 1.4. By comparison, the dielectric constant of solid fluoropolymers, such as DuPont PTFE, FEP, and, PFA (referred to as Teflon®, when licensed from DuPont) is 2.1. A perfect vacuum is 1.0. A foil shield is applied over the AirLok™ core, followed by a shielding braid of 40 AWG silver-plated OFHC copper. Lastly, a very thin clear FEP jacket is applied.
Outside diameter is only .115", and the cable is quite light and flexible. Capacitance = 16.22 pF per foot. QUANTITY DISCOUNTS APPLY FOR LENGTHS GREATER THAN 1 METER.

3)NEW ITEM! VH Audio is very pleased to announce the Pulsar Ag. The Pulsar Ag is the culmination of nearly 6 years worth of R&D effort to make a 75 ohm SPDIF digital cable that would set a new bar for digital performance. As a result, the Pulsar Ag is VH Audio's Statement design for true 75 ohm digital SPDIF applications, and its use for shielded analog interconnects is so profoundly good- it will compete favorably with ANY shielded interconnect on the market, regardless of price.
At the core of the Pulsar Ag is VH Audo's UniCrystal™ 24 AWG high purity SOLID OCC Silver conductor, manufactured using the OCC process (Ohno Continuous Cast). This process results in a conductor without the typical grain boundaries of conventional wire processing methods. The UniCrystal™ silver wire is then annealed to a dead soft state (in an inert nitrogen atmosphere), further improving sonic performance. Next, VH Audio's prorietary AirLok™ dielectric is applied as the core, in order to achieve the correct, precise impedance of 75 ohms. In fact, this step is performed with such precision that 2-3X the finished length of cable may end up as "scrap" during the production process, as the AirLok™ is "dialed-in" to the correct parameters.

Outside diameter is only .110", and the cable is quite light and flexible. Capacitance = 16.7 pF per foot.QUANTITY DISCOUNTS APPLY FOR LENGTHS GREATER THAN 1 METER.
