STEREOVOX SEI-600II

A twin run of pure silver conductors carry the signal through Gossamer dielectric tapes, within discrete, helically-wrapped, multi-filar silver-plated copper shields. Double the silver, half the resistance of the SEI-600s. SEI-600ii delivers both power and grace with equal elegance. Xhadow Reference RCAs terminated by ISC method.

was really impressed with the Stereovox cables, and strongly recommend that anyone shopping for cables�or just looking to upgrade and learn more about their system�arrange an audition.�Time will tell if the SEI-600II and LSP-600 are the first of a new generation of cables that will establish a new standard of performance, but they are, at the very least, among the select group of cables that comprise "the best I've heard." Even in 2006, an industry as mature as high-end cables can be shaken up. Fascinating, isn't it?

"SEI-600s distills the essence or core of the old SEI-600 into a single-jacket, stereo breakout cable useful for running within a rack. It's perfect for shorter runs and gives you an entry price into the Reference line.

SEI-600ii is a somewhat different design, using twin internal coaxes (discretely shielded), summed at the connector. Half the resistance and inductance of the 600s, the 600ii lends a quieter, more refined presentation - especially when you're making that long run out to the monoblocs." - Chris, Stereovox

STEREOVOX SEI-600II

From 1997 to the present, Chris has dedicated his focus to creating the finest and most precise audio cables in the world under the STEREOVOX brand. Employing high technology precision solutions typically reserved for military, aerospace and surveillance industries, Stereovox cables are themselves extreme examples of precision audio cable design and execution.

Stereovox cables complete the rarest of reference audio systems, and bridge the gap between Audio and Music.

SEI-600s is a twin-breakout of two coaxials that are made from the core coax within the SEI-600 original. Thus, the sound of this cable will come closer to the sound of the original SEI-600 because everything is the same except for the connector (which is built the same way, just more termination friendly) and the fact that the secondary shield is not there. This is useful in a rack situation where components are relatively close to one another. As this is a stereo-breakout cable, it's not necessarily the best solution for monoblocks.

SEI-600II combine the twin coaxes in parallel, summing shields to shield and signal-conductprs to signal. Lower resistance, half impedance, half inductance. This has a very different sound from the original and the 600s. This is a very excellent cable for runs out to monoblocks, but many prefer its sound in the short-run through the rack as well.

Technical Data

Our cables are grouped into different series, and geometries and technology can differ greatly depending upon the series. For instance: Analog cables in the Studio line employ tubular copper conductors in solid (high density) PTFE dielectrics, while cables from the Reference line use microfilar pure silver conductors encased in air-articulated (low density) PTFE dielectrics.

A word about connectors: We employ Xhadow connectors or our own Stereovox connectors [on Vespa only]. These connectors employ pure copper, plated in silver for the signal-conductors and are designed to allow for ISC soldered termination.

ISC stands for Intimately Stressed Contact, and it simply means that the signal wire and the connector it is attached to are not only in electrical contact with one another – but that they are contacting one another under extremely high stress. This guarantees that the connection, or “joint,” is a perfect one before any solder is applied. Thereafter, solder is applied to create a hermetic seal – never to act as an electrical bridge between wire and connector.
