The ALO Crystal Dock
Featuring unidirectional UPOCC, being free from impurity (up to 99.99998% pure copper) has electric resistance and practically no crystal boundaries. Accordingly, it is able to transmit electrical signals faster, and with less distortion than ordinary OFC and silver wires. All of these features make the pure OCC copper and ALO Crystal dock the state-of-the art conductor material for the audiophile cable.
COMPARISON OF OFC AND UP-OCC IN STRUCTURE
COMPARISON OF THE COPPER WIRE
The ALO Crystal dock is made using 3 ultra pure UP-OCC 20 AWG solid copper conductors in a ultra clear Teflon jacket. We then terminate the cable with a nickel Switchcraft mini plug. The wires on the ALO Crystal dock are quite rigid and have little flexibility. We only recommend this cable for a set up where the ipod and amp are physically strapped or Velcroed to one another. The ALO Crystal dock is then and bent to fit the ipod and amp and will typically stay rigid in this position. The cable can be unbent but we recommend that it stay in the original "C" shape.
The sound is amazingly strong, resolute and warm yet retaining a crisp sparkle.
IMPORTANT: Please note this cable will not work with a 2nd generation iTouch, iPhone and new nanos. Please see the backwards compatible ALO Cryo 18awg SXC iTouch/iPhone cable, ALO OCC Triple Pipe, ALO SXC Micro, ALO 22awg SXC and ALO 22awg OCC cable in the ipod cables section.
