The conductors in the Artisan Silver Cables "Silver Dream" interconnect cables are of high-purity slow-drawn solid silver, arranged in a double-balanced four conductor Litz braid.  The conductors are sheathed in Teflon® insulation, which is deliberately a slightly loose-fit, thus the conductors are surrounded by a mainly air-dielectric (air being widely regarded as one of the best performing dielectric materials).

News June 2009: Upgraded Teflon® tubing. Regular customers will notice that we've now upgraded our Teflon® tubing to a slightly wider diameter over our whole range of cables (this is not yet shown in some of the pictures - these will updated later). By allowing more room around the pure silver conductors, this gives an improvement to the ideal "air dielectric" effect, giving an increased perception of purity to the sound. In high resolution systems, a further layer of inner detail becomes audible. The cushioning effect of a larger air-gap around the conductors also increases isolation from external physical vibrations - which is generally also thought to be good for sound quality. A happy side-effect is that the resulting cables are also slightly thicker and more robust (although the thickness of the silver conductor - which is critical to get right - remains the same). All cables supplied from now on will be the upgraded version.

The 4 insulated silver conductors are then braided in a Litz configuration, very similar to the geometry used in some well respected high end cables. The Litz braid principle rejects external interference (which can cause rough, impure sounding treble).
