Neutron SW16 “more open” proclaims Mike Fremer

Neutron SW16 Digital Power Cord

Premier audio reviewer, Michael Fremer of Stereophile magazine recently spent time with our Neutron SW16 Digital power cord in his system. Mike reviewed the new Brinkmann Nyquist DAC and declared the Neutron SW16 “more open, crystalline sound proved the ideal match for the Nyquist.” when plugged into the Nyquist!

The Neutron SW16 concept is a culmination of 17 years of design and evolutionary progress. It builds on the strengths of our previous flagship VLT Nebula DPC and innovations debuted in the Challenger AE15 DPC. The Neutron SW16 represents the ultimate digital power cord in the Heritage series.
Dielectrics: Cable dielectrics should be terrible conductors of electrical signals; the worse they are conducting electrical signals the better the cable performance. Storing and the subsequent releasing of the signal create distortions that adversely affect the performance of a cable. The air impregnated, multi-layer insulation system in the Neutron SW16 delivers a charge storage of 1.3, just a mere 0.3 more than a perfect vacuum (1.0). This results in a velocity of propagation of 95% the speed of light, reducing signal smearing to a minimum with superb phase linearity!
Shielding: The pervasiveness of noise around today’s audio systems demands a full commitment to protecting the audio signal. Efficient and effective shields, as those in the Neutron SW16, that both reflect and absorb noise mitigates the impact on the audio signal. Mere twisting of conductors regardless of geometries is not adequate to protect from the myriad and complex types of noise bombarding our systems. It, in addition to our renowned Dynamic Shielding™ technology, features a special twisting geometry and multiple shield types that are layered in a proprietary sequence to deliver ultra-wide-bandwidth protection from DC to the gigahertz range. This results in 100% shield coverage and over -110db shielding effectiveness!
Conductors: The massive 99.9999% high purity copper and silver stranded conductors utilized in the Neutron SW16 are specially treated to maximize conductivity and power handling. The complex and intricate geometry of the conductors ensures maximum isolation from crosstalk and reduced coupling capacitance.

Dynamic Design Cables win 2017 TAS Award!

dynamic design cables

We’re very excited that The Absolute Sound (TAS), the premier high-end audio publication, has awarded several Dynamic Design cables the esteemed 2017 Editors’ Choice Awards. Our Challenger AE15, Lotus AE15 power cables, Titania Interconnects and, Titania speaker cables were awarded this prestigious honor! It is always gratifying when our design philosophies and execution are acknowledged and bestowed the highest industry honors for product design excellence and performance!

TAS had this to say about the combination of the Challenger AE15 Digital and Lotus AE15 power cables:

 “Commemorating its 15th Anniversary, the AE15 Lotus Analog is designed for high-power components, the Heritage Series AE15 Challenger Digital for low-power or source components. This superb combination exhibits an openness, harmonic ease, and lack of constriction that effectively permits it to disappear from the soundspace. Its overall character has a neutral-to-warm glow, but with a bolder, slightly more forward sound that physicalizes
images and sculpts their boundaries.” NG, 245

TAS also had this to say about the combination of the new Titania Interconnects and speaker cables:

“An extrovert, the spirited Titania [combo] has a more forward, cooler presentation but its presence, dynamic energy, and bass response are electrifying. Sheer power, colorful timbre, and transient speed are its strong suits. As a general observation, its soundstage is a little more proximate, and doesn’t quite match the dimensionality of NG’s reference cable. Still, it is one of the more purely exciting and toe-tapping cables in recent memory.” NG, 269

All Dynamic Design cables utilize innovative and cutting edge materials and technologies in our designs. These in-turn deliver the most accurate reproduction, within a high performance system, of the original recorded event! All Dynamic Design cables are available for in-home audition through our In-Home Audition Program (IHAP) that let potential customers experience the performance of our products in the familiarity of their own systems and environment. Contact us today to audition our award-winning cables in your own system!

Neutron SW16 Digital Power Cord

Dr. David Robinson, Editor-in-Chief, of Positive Feedback introduces the Neutron SW16 Digital power cord into his reference system. The Neutron SW16’s extraordinary performance warranted a write up, per Dr. David, where others have failed to elicit such an honor! In comparisons with his reference power cords, Dr. David discovered that the it “was definitely in the front rank” by virtue of its unique performance envelope in his system.

See Dr. David’s write up here

The Neutron SW16’s innovative materials, technologies and, processes are without peer, pushing it to the pinnacle of digital power cords! With state-of-the-art design and build quality the Neutron SW16’s dielectrics conductors and, shielding represent a profound advancement compared to what is available today in the industry:

Cable dielectrics should be terrible conductors of electrical signals; the worse they are the better the cable performance. Storing and the subsequent releasing of the signal create distortions that adversely affect the performance of a cable. The air impregnated, multi-layer combined with a film type insulation system in the Neutron SW16 delivers a charge storage of just a mere 0.3 more than a perfect vacuum. This results in a velocity of propagation of 95% the speed of light, reducing signal smearing to a minimum with superb phase linearity!

The pervasiveness of noise around today’s audio systems demand a full commitment to protecting the audio signal, by designing efficient and effective shields. Mere twisting of conductors regardless of geometries is not adequate to protect from the myriad and complex types of noise bombarding our systems. The Neutron SW16 features a special twisting geometry and multiple shield types that are layered in a proprietary sequence to deliver ultra wide-bandwidth protection well into the gigahertz range. This results in 100% shield coverage, over -95db shielding effectiveness and ultra-fast propagation speed!

The Neutron SW16 utilizes massive 99.9999% high purity copper and silver stranded conductors that are specially treated to maximize conductivity and power handling. The conductors are twisted in a complex and intricate array ensuring maximum isolation from cross-talk and reduced coupling capacitance.
