Design & Build
Van Gogh builds on the architecture of Monet with additional Infinite Crystal Silver signal and ground conductors. The higher conductor count improves conductivity and lowers distortion while preserving the slim, flexible construction for which Crystal Cable is known.
Kapton and PTFE insulation provide a stable dielectric environment. Infinite Crystal Silver, silver-plated copper and Mu-metal foil are used in application-specific shielding arrangements to protect both analogue and digital signals.
The transparent outer jacket displays the cable’s internal structure, while an integrated NFC tag allows owners to authenticate and register each cable.
System Pairing
Van Gogh can connect the principal analogue and digital components in a reference system. Its dedicated phono cable accommodates turntables and tonearms through RCA, XLR, or straight and angled TAC‑5 connections.
Matching RCA or XLR interconnects can be used between source components, preamplifiers and power amplifiers. The collection also includes loudspeaker, power, USB and impedance-controlled digital cables.
