| About GOERTZ cables by Alpha-Core, Inc: GOERTZ cables were developed by Alpha-Core, Inc and adapted as a loudspeaker cable by Ole Goertz, a Danish electronics and audio engineer. The GOERTZ concept is patented throughout the world and founded on the principle that an audio cable should do absolutely nothing to the signal passing through it. The distortion of an audio signal along a speaker cable depends on the cable’s electrical parameters, mainly its resistance and inductance per unit length. A high AWG number means high resistance, which will degrade the bass and low mid range frequencies, whereas a high inductance will typically roll-off the treble and high mid range frequencies. Because both parameters affect the signal relative to cable length, they become a grave concern for long runs of wire in quality home theater and multi room audio installations. The patented GOERTZ cables have become famous for their low inductance and resistance characteristics, as well as their unique flat packaging. |

In the ideal world, the signal appearing at the terminals on your loudspeakers would be identical to the signal that left your amplifier. Anything else is distortion, defined as "falsified reproduction", something that is the very opposite of the concept of high fidelity.
Yet while the signal that leaves your amplifier may be as distortion-free as modern electronics technology allows, the signal arriving at your loudspeakers is often thirty years obsolete. Because to reach your speakers, that signal must pass through a distortion-inducing conduit represented by your old-fashioned speaker wire. This sad fact makes decades of amplifier and loudspeaker evolution irrelevant. Simply put, if you connect your components through conventional speaker wire, you'll never hear the sound quality you paid for.
An entire high-end cable industry has sprung up out of the frustrations of audiophiles (and videophiles) trying to properly match their components. But without a scientific foundation these products are little more than overindulgence in styling; "voodoo audio" that often looks better than it works. With the idea that audio design has more to gain from science and engineering than from folklore and tweaking, Alpha-Core has pursued a technology solution. It is the Goertz MI cable system, made possible by combining a patented design with our resources and experience in high-tech laminates for the electronics component industry. For the first time there is a measurable standard in wire.

Goertz Interconnects. Two 18 gauge flat solid conductors sandwiched together. Unprecedented clarity of treble and mid-range, these interconnects provide a near match of cable characteristic impedance with the impedance at the signal source. Offered in RCA and XLR balanced versions. Virtually distortion free.
