The Tenrai USB cable is our star product which incorporates space technology for the first time in an audio cable. This unique USB cable is the fruit of an ongoing research collaboration with the Toulouse-based engineer Remi Dumas, and was inspired by Tenrai, the Japanese word for divine or heavenly. The cable is composed of 3µm 24 carat gold-plated pure copper OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast after the eponymous Japanese inventor) pin connectors which are cold-clamped to pure copper OCC multistrand wire. The space technology employed corrects the absence of soldered connector pin seating and cold-clamping allows the use of the same metal quality throughout the cable in order to obtain the purest possible signal conduction. Selecting the best possible dielectric materials and assembly method required making dozens of prototype cables and hundreds of hours of listening. The resulting Tenrai USB cable provides an exceptional level of relaxed, natural and aired listening associated with incredible dynamics and detail.
Each Tenrai USB cable takes 72 hours of handcrafting prior to electrical and audio testing.
A minimum 200 hour run-in period is recommended for the Tenrai USB cable to provide optimal performance.
EDL Audio wishes you inspired, celestial and divine listening.
