GutWire will improve the overall resolution and tonal balance of your system and provide:

• incredible soundstage that extends in height, width and depth.
• low frequency response that is accurate, deep, powerful and authoritative.
• real-life midrange that is natural and musical.
• amazing 3D imaging with body and texture.

GUTWIRE cables do not use any capacitors, resistors, coils or inductors in their construction that would alter the frequencies the cable delivers and limit the flow of current.

GUTWIRE cables do not employ any soldering in the termination process of the power cables or the balanced interconnects (Click HERE to see what we are using). During our research and extensive listening tests, we realized that crimping is surely better than soldering. The cables with crimped terminations demonstrate a much wider and more open soundstage along with better micro and macro dynamics and faster transient attack.

A GUTWIRE cable needs about 50 hours of burn-in time to get 75% of their optimum performance, and it will continue to improve the sound for up to 100 hours.

When upgrading the cables in your system, it is advisable to start with the one that draws the most current. Upgrade the power cable at your amplifier first, then the one at pre-amp or DAC; and your transport for the last. For interconnects, it is logical to start at the source first. Upgrade with a GUTWIRE digital or line level interconnect, then your speaker cables.

The clip is connected to the outer shielding of the cable. It gives the option of floating or grounding the outermost shielding. All of our cables feature multiple shielding in the design. In our extensive listening tests, the ability to float or ground the outer shield affects the sound dramatically. We give you, the listener, the option of fine tuning the sound to best suit your system.

Living in a world full of electronic pollution, we don’t know how to predict RFI and EMI. Background noise, grounding problems and electrostatic noise can be largely eliminated with well shielded cables. Cables without proper shielding will no doubt hinder system performance.

In a balanced circuit, there is a positive signal, an inverted signal and a separate ground. In a single-ended circuit, there is a positive and a negative signal. The negative signal acts as a ground, too.

Our balanced interconnects are completely different from our single-ended interconnects. Each balanced interconnect has three conductors and two separate shields. Our single-ended interconnect has two conductors and two separate shields. Some of the balanced interconnects on the market are not real balance design.

Physically separating the positive and negative signals reduces cross talk, capacitance and colorations between cables. Although it is much more expensive to manufacture, the result sound is amazingly good.

We do not recommend using “cheater plugs” except for testing the absolute polarity of the component. Once the absolute polarity of the component is determined, it is advisable to change the polarity ( if necessary) inside the male IEC of the component. The use of “cheater plugs” would degrade the performance of our power cables.

Ground loop is usually caused by the difference in electrical potential between component grounds. Using more than one electric outlet and the use of cable television is also a common cause of ground loop. Installing dedicated electrical outlets to audio system can also largely eliminate the problem. DO NOT make modifications to your equipment unless you are a qualified electrician.

15A 110V AC electricity does not provide any room to “jiggle” around. We believe every connection should be tight and solid, whether it is a low-level signal (RCA or spade lug) or AC electricity. It is the reason why we use the best connector/plug in the world.

This is normal. Every notepad/soundpad have a life-span of 2-3 years. They will gradually reduce to nothing at their end of life-cycle. It is a consumable product.

The reason why we do not put any fuse or surge protection into our AC line conditioner is that any additional components that added to the circuit will degrade the sound. For customer who need surge protection, we would recommend changing the AC receptacle on the wall that have build-in surge protection. Hubbell made such device.
