Nataraja
Series - Winner of Positive Feedback
Magazine's Brutus Award for best products of 2003
Inserting
a single Nataraja Series cable into your system will uncover new
and deep levels of information in a highly musical fashion. Continuing
to add Nataraja Series cables will result in a breathtaking new appreciation
of the music you listen to.
When
stripped of all noise, all electronic haze, a sound becomes a thing in
itself, arising from nothingness, revealing its true nature and dying
away.
Construction:
The
Nataraja series interconnects utilize four nines pure silver ribbons that
are subjected to multiple chemical and metalurgical treatments and then
wrapped with a total of twenty four layers of natural and proprietary
space age insulating materials, including four copper foil shields with
51 drain wires on each shield. Construction is painstaking and requires
long hours. The resulting interconnect cable is an oval 1 7/8" X
1" in cross section. Avoiding the use of synthetic materials wherever
possible is intrinsic to our design philosophy.
Due
to the highly robust nature of the materials employed, the Nataraja Series
Interconnects are preformed in a curve. They may be further shaped by
the end user to fit their particular requirements. The Nataraja Series
Speaker Cables consist of two separate 1 1/2" X 1/2" runs per
side and are somewhat more flexible. Both speaker and interconnect cables
employ reinforced flexible ends for longevity and ease of use. Pure solid
silver spade lugs are employed to ensure the tightest fit and greatest
transference of energy.
Refusing to accept limitation...
It
is our position that a cable either functions properly or it does not.
While some adopt the philosophy that one should use cabling to somehow
tune out the deficiencies of a system, balancing dark equipment with bright
cable etc., we take different approach: Often a given system may sound
musical and beautiful in its current incarnation. It is not until we replace
the cables in that system that we realize what we have been missing.
Envision
the peaks and valleys of a waveform as a landscape. Now picture the peaks
obscured by haze and the valleys filled with low lying fog. The haze and
fog represent subtle noise (noise beyond the range of hearing) that interferes
with the perception of the very finest details - the finer waves riding
the larger waves riding the larger waves etc. Before the insertion of
properly functioning cables into a system, the listener may think he or
she is seeing the entire vista, having only ever experienced it in this
fogbound condition. When the sun emerges and the fog burns off for the
very first time, the details that define the landscape are revealed. When
we have such an experience in nature we are awestruck.
This
type of transformation occurs even in systems of rarefied quality. On
the other hand, mid-level systems can exhibit higher levels of performance
than was thought possible. This experience, repeated over and over again
has led us to the following conclusions:
1.)
The source(s) of shortcomings in systems are not always obvious
2.) The potential of any given system is generally far beyond what we
now experience from it.
3.) When it comes to delivering high resolution and musicality, cables
should be considered as equal partners with the other components in a
system.
This last point may be considered heretical thinking, but our experience
bears this out. This is in no way to belittle the importance of choosing
a high quality source and preamplifier. Indeed the higher the quality
up front, the greater the potential of the system, but without super high
quality cables,
including power cables, much of the greatness of your source, preamplifier
or amplifier will be lost before it ever reaches the speakers. One may
also find that deficiencies formerly attributed to equipment have been
addressed and ameliorated by replacing the cables currently in use.
Unquestionable value...
All
Prana Wire cables are offered direct to the end user and may be built
to exact length and custom terminated to your requirements. Although our
Nataraja series and Cosmos series cables are not inexpensive, they cost
a fraction of what their price would be if it were necessary to add a
dealer's markup.
