{"product_id":"kubala-sosna-anticipation-speaker-cables","title":"Kubala-Sosna Anticipation Speaker Cables","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe speaker cable is the link with the most current passing through it, and the link between the amplifier's voltage and the driver's motion. It is where mistakes are most audible — and where good engineering most rewards a serious system. Kubala-Sosna's speaker cables are sold in pair pricing because they are built as pairs, terminated with the listener's preferred combination of spade, banana, or flex-pin connector. Single-wire (SC1) covers most installations; Internal Bi-Wire (SC2, available at every tier except Imagination) gives the high-frequency and low-frequency conductors their own paths inside one jacket — preserving the bi-wire benefit without doubling the visible cable count behind the speakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnticipation is the first tier where the line gets serious about digital. It carries everything Imagination offers, adds the bi-wire SC2 option on the speaker cable, and introduces both an AES\/EBU (DAE) and an S\/PDIF coaxial (DCX) digital cable. This is the tier for the listener whose system has crossed into digital streaming or networked playback and wants a digital interconnect that does not color the signal coming out of a serious DAC. The step-up to Persuasion is incremental — a refinement, not a category jump.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnticipation as the speaker cable is the first tier in the K-S line where an internal bi-wire (SC2) is on the menu — a real consideration for any speaker whose crossover separates high and low binding posts. Single-wire (SC1) remains the right answer for most installations; SC2 is what a listener picks when the speaker designer engineered the crossover with bi-wiring in mind and the system is built to capitalize on it. Termination is configured at the build stage with the listener's choice of spade, banana, or flex-pin connector at each end. This is the speaker cable for an Anticipation-tier loom — analog and digital matched at the same level on a system that has crossed into network playback.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e OptimiZ™\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArchitecture:\u003c\/strong\u003e RevolutionZ™\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConfiguration options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Wire (SC1) \/ Internal Bi-Wire (SC2)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTermination options:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spade \/ Banana \/ Flex-Pin\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.0m to 5.0m in 0.5m increments; 6m to 15m in 1m increments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePricing formula:\u003c\/strong\u003e First-meter price plus per-additional-meter rate\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade in USA\u003c\/strong\u003e — Kubala-Sosna Research, East Hanover, NJ\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e30\/60\/90 Satisfaction Guarantee\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpgrade privileges towards future Kubala-Sosna purchases\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kubala-Sosna","offers":[{"title":"1m","offer_id":48789665153243,"sku":null,"price":630.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.5m","offer_id":48789665186011,"sku":null,"price":745.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2m","offer_id":48789665218779,"sku":null,"price":860.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5m","offer_id":48789665251547,"sku":null,"price":975.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3m","offer_id":48789665284315,"sku":null,"price":1090.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1363\/6553\/files\/antc-lg_speaker.jpg?v=1779213918","url":"https:\/\/almaaudio.com\/products\/kubala-sosna-anticipation-speaker-cables","provider":"Alma Music and Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
