Creating the world's finest cables requires more than premium materials—it demands an uncompromising philosophy where physics, metallurgy, and acoustic science converge in the hands of skilled craftsmen.

At Argento Audio, we rejected the conventional approach of optimizing off-the-shelf components and instead embarked on a multi-year journey to reimagine every cable, hand-built from these first principles.

Ultra-Pure Six-Nines Silver Conductors

Pure silver with extended crystal structures eliminates microscopic impurities that compromise signal integrity, delivering unparalleled transparency and tonal accuracy that lesser metallurgy simply cannot achieve.

Custom Made Connectors

All Extreme Edition cables use custom-made speaker, interconnect, and power connectors with carbon-infused polymers. We utilize pure silver in all our custom-made connectors, and the patented “conductor is the connector” technique in Flow Ultima. These innovations ensure your music flows from amplifier to speaker through a perfectly continuous pathway of pure silver.

Argento audio products complete your system

Argento represents the pinnacle of cable engineering, where price constraints yield to sonic ambition. Argento’s family of cables—from wall socket to speaker terminal—transforms your listening room into a reference-grade environment that reveals music with unprecedented clarity, dynamics, and power.

The ultimate in sound quality and craftsmanship.

The Role of 6N Purity Silver

At the heart of every Argento Extreme Edition cable is a simple conviction: the signal should encounter nothing but the purest possible path. That’s why we use 6N purity silver—99.9999% pure, with exceptionally long crystal structures—for every conductor and every contact point in the chain. This level of purity isn’t a luxury flourish; it’s the foundation for consistent, unbroken signal flow.

In high-end audio, you’ll often see bold claims about “single-crystal” conductors. The truth is more nuanced. While silver can begin as a single crystal, the drawing process required to form a usable conductor inevitably creates microscopic fractures. What actually matters is maximizing crystal length and structural continuity—an engineering goal Argento pursues relentlessly. Our long-crystal 6N silver reduces boundaries that can introduce grain noise, micro-distortion, and tonal irregularities.

Just as critical is what happens at the connectors, the overlooked bottleneck in many premium cables. It makes little sense to feed ultra-pure conductors into brass or copper-alloy terminations, yet this is standard practice throughout the industry. Argento refuses that compromise. Every EE connector—whether spade, XLR pin, RCA contact, or IEC blade—is made from the same annealed 6N silver as the conductors themselves. This creates one continuous metallurgical chain from source to destination, eliminating the mismatches in resistance and energy transfer that often occur at junction points.

Annealing plays a crucial role. By softening the silver rather than leaving it cold-worked and brittle, we achieve higher contact pressure, more stable long-term interfaces, and lower resistance at the physical connection. The result is a more coherent, unrestrained signal—preserving microdetail, dynamics, and tonal integrity without relying on exotic coatings or marketing fantasy.

In the Extreme Edition line, the commitment to pure, long-crystal 6N silver is not an embellishment. It’s the engineering backbone that allows the rest of the design—the VDM insulation, carbon-loaded housings, and custom CNC-machined architecture—to reveal what your system is truly capable of.

VDM: The anti-vibration solution from Argento Audio

Today, virtually all cables use some kind of polymer for insulation because it is very cheap and there is a general belief that as long as the dielectric constant is low, everything is good. Of course there is some truth — but only some — since air does sound better than Teflon and Teflon does sound better than PVC.

VDMTM — short For Vibration Damping Material — is the Argento answer to address two well known yet insufficiently covered problems in cable design.

  • How should a cable be insulated to avoid shorts and corrosion?
  • How can one avoid the small air and structural-born vibrations that affect cable performance?

During our long years of exploration in various solutions, we found that all polymer dielectrics share the same sort of characteristic sound with more or less slightly raised highs and a slight thinness in the midrange. This could to some degree be relieved by choosing copper instead of silver and thicker conductors, but both these “cures” decrease the sound quality in several other ways, making the sound heavy, closed-in and a lot less dynamic.

The conclusion is that none of the usual “solutions” — plastic, air, teflon, composite materials, etc. — were the correct answer to the problem, either because they were simply inoperable or they created other issues when removing the problems caused by the vibrations.

Furthermore, we concluded that the artifacts usually heard in the high frequencies with polymer and air insulated cables were caused both by vibrations and the use of polymers.

The result of this search is VDMTM, a proprietary compound of mixed materials presenting unique elasticity and damping characteristics at room temperature as well as optimal dielectric properties.

Finding an efficient way to apply the VDMTM proved as difficult a task as inventing the material, which we overcame with a multi-stage process involving heating and injecting stages among other technical steps.

As a result of our efforts, we are proud to offer our new VDMTM in every Argento Audio cable, making available to you the true epitome of perfect electrical insulation and mechanical damping.
