At first glance, G-Snakeâs design looks like a traditional coaxial cable. However, there are many very important differences, each of which greatly influences sound quality. Design Basics: G-Snake has identical conductors for the positive and ground connections. Underneath the 100% coverage foil shield is a bare conductor, exactly the same as the insulated center conductor. The conductor under the shield does double duty as a low distortion audio connection, and as the drain wire connecting the shield to ground. Conductors: Both of G-Snakeâs conductors are solid. Electrical and magnetic interaction between strands in a conventional cable is the greatest source of distortion, often causing a somewhat dirty harsh sound. Solid conductors are the most important ingredient enabling G-Snakeâs very clear sound. Metal: G-Snakeâs LGC (Long-Grain Copper) allows a smoother and clearer sound than cables using regular OFHC (Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity) copper. Minimize
