PSS CONDUCTORS: Solid conductors prevent strand interaction, a major source of cable distortion.
Extremely high-purity Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries which
exist within any metal conductor, eliminating harshness and greatly increasing clarity compared to all other
conducting materials.
TEFLON AIR-TUBES: Air is the best insulation because it does not absorb and later release energy. Teflon
is the best extrudable solid insulation because it absorbs less than other materials. The Teflon Air-Tubes
used in Cheetah have almost nothing but air around the PSS conductors.

DIELECTRIC-BIAS SYSTEM (patent pending): Greatly improved performance is made possible by a
constant 36 volt charge on all Cheetah’s insulation. As 36 volts is far above the voltage of an audio signal,
the result is considerably more transparency and dynamics than possible even from a cable in continuous
use, with equipment that is never turned off. Because DBS battery packs are attached when Cheetah
cables are assembled, Cheetah does not require an additional run-in period. Because there is no “load” on
the single standard hardware-store battery, it will last for years. A test button and LED allow for occasional
verification of battery performance.
TRIPLE BALANCED: The 3 conductors in "Triple Balanced" Cheetah cable insure that whether prepared
with RCA or XLR plugs, the positive and negative signals have equally low distortion conducting paths. The
100% coverage shield is never used as an inferior audio conductor.
WELDED PLUGS: 8,000 amps is used to weld RCA plugs to Cheetah, creating a perfect connection alloy
where the cable and plug meet. A thick direct-silver plating provides the best possible connection.
