True 75 ohm characteristic impedance (+/- 1.5 Ohm upto 100 MHz)
Supra Trico awarded “Product of the Year 2003-2004” award, when used as a co-axial digital audio cable, by UK Hi-Fi Choice magazine.
This follows on from the “BEST BUY” rating achieved earlier in the year from Hi-Fi Choice.
The basic specification is as follows:
Very low capacitance, only 58pF/metre, and insulated with PE foam, leading to a propagation velocity of 0.78 light speed.
Double shielded, with an inner braid of silver plated OFC and an outer braid of bare OFC.
The two shields together provide efficient noise protection from external sources.
The silver plated signal carrying inner conductor enhances the high frequency properties of the cable, leading to an extremely low level of attenuation: 0.6 dB per 100 metres at 1.0 MHz and just 7.1 dB per 100 metres at 100 MHz!
Supra Trico digital audio / composite video cable
The Supra Trico cable has been designed to carry either digital audio or composite video and can be terminated with phono, BNC or scart plugs.

I’m very sceptical about the benefits of upgrading digital cables. I bought a cheapo digital from Maplins and then tried it against a VdH coaxial which was part of one of their less expensive interconnects. This was a little better than the Maplins. I hoped the Supra might improve but wasn’t expecting much. How wrong i was. It took all of 3 seconds to notice a big improvement between a Fiio X3 and Qdac. Well worth the money.
