Pushing the boundaries of audio cable performance, the Bronze Dragon Premium Phono Cable will enhance the performance of your vinyl collection, adding musicality, dynamics, and detail for an elevated listening experience. It's the perfect bridge between your Turntable and Phono Preamplifier, ensuring pristine audio transmission with every note. Sold as a single cable option, the Bronze Dragon Premium Phono Cable can be configured in a DIN to RCA, DIN to XLR, or RCA to RCA, all with ground leads for your Turntable to Phono Preamplifier (preamp) connection. The Bronze Dragon Premium Phono Cable promises unrivaled fidelity and performance, making it a must-have for any audiophile seeking the pinnacle of sound quality in their hi-fi setup. This is the Turntable Cable for you.
Crafted with precision and expertise, the Bronze Dragon Premium Phono Cable uses a new process of adding Graphene to our UP-OCC copper strandings. Graphene is a single-atom-thick, 2-dimensional material composed of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice geometry. This unique material is 200 times stronger than steel but incredibly flexible without added weight, providing a more efficient transmission of electrical signals. It adds strength, flexibility, and conductivity to the metal it is bound with. The base of the Bronze Dragon Premium Phono Cable is composed of OCC copper–single-crystal continuous cast copper, or Ohno Continuous Cast. OCC is a manufacturing process that prevents any crystalline fractures or minimal grain boundaries, which essentially become potholes that the electrical signal must bypass.
The copper used in the Bronze Dragon Premium Phono Cable is devoid of all possible impurities that can change the coloration of the sound. Knowing that all materials have different coloration and the key to keeping the tonality consistent or slightly changing the coloration is to omit other metals or add other metals to the conductor stand, Graphene was the perfect choice. This not only improved the UP-OCC material but also changed the tonality of our Dragon UP-OCC conductor, delivering increased dynamics with a very musical flavor to the sound. The Bronze Dragon Premium Phono Cable's sound is incredibly tight and controlled with a powerful bass response. After much R&D, we've successfully melded two tonalities into one cable, crafting a phono cable with improved dynamics and maintained musicality–a hard feat to achieve.
What does this mean for your Phono setup? Phono cartridges operate on very low voltages. Keeping resistance and capacitance as minimal as possible and increasing conductivity improves the end result of the signal stream. Graphene being a super conductor teamed up with the purest copper available, that being UP-OCC guaranties the best sonic result.
The Premium Difference
What is the difference between the Premium and Standard Dragon Cable? Our Premium Cable offers the same quality construction as the standard line, featuring UP-OCC 99.99998% pure conductors and matching cable designs with a few upgrades. Cardas Silver Solder is replaced with Mundorf MSolder SUPREME SilverGold mix at every connection point, and premium Furutech Rhodium connectors are included to enhance the look, feel, and listening pleasure of all your hi-fi music sessions. The Furutech Top Line connectors are quite simply the best made, and every point of signal saturation makes a difference.
Premium Dragon Audio Cables are the best of the best! These cables are meant for cream-of-the-crop audio gear where every detail makes a difference in bringing you closer to audio bliss.
Quality You Can Trust
Most stock headphone cables are made of poor, ultra-thin conductors that work as a bottleneck for sound. Poor geometries, no shielding, rubber jackets, and a whole host of other issues in OEM cables can limit the performance of the headphone driver in terms of clarity and definition.
Dragon Cables are handcrafted from quality materials in Moon Audio's headquarters in Cary, North Carolina. All of our cables are created with ultra-pure, single-crystal silver and copper strands and engineered to provide the cleanest, most musical presentation. Our wire is void of impurities and crystalline boundaries, leaving nothing between you and your music.
Bronze Dragon Sound Signature
The Bronze Dragon is dynamic, detailed, and musical. It leans on the warm side of neutral, but is anything but dry-sounding. The Bronze Dragon makes a bold statement with a clear presentation and authority.
The smooth, musical quality of the Bronze Dragon makes it a perfect fit for headphones that tend to sound a bit edgy or bright. Despite its warmth, the Bronze Dragon does not have a laid-back, lush sound and is much closer to neutral, making it a very natural-sounding cable. As a flexible-sounding cable, it can match the sonic characteristics of your sound system.
