Istana Graphene Coated Copper Hybrid Headphone/IEM Cable

One of World's Most Conductive IEM/Headphone Cables

Graphene-coated copper audio cables represent a breakthrough in audio technology, offering superior conductivity and performance. The integration of graphene, a material known for its exceptional electrical conductivity, with high-quality copper ensures minimal signal loss and maximum audio fidelity. Istana carries an conductivity rate IACS of over 110%, which is higher than any other conventional material available, such as silver or copper. This combination enhances the clarity, detail, and dynamic range of audio signals, delivering an unmatched listening experience. The graphene coating also provides added durability and resistance to corrosion, ensuring long-lasting performance. With these cables, audiophiles can enjoy pristine sound quality and reliable connections, making them an ideal choice for high-end audio systems.

IEM Matching

The Istana is precision-tuned by AAW engineers to achieve an optimized sound signature, specifically enhancing the performance of sensitive IEMs. Utilizing advanced acoustic engineering techniques, the cable is designed to deliver a cohesive and synergistic audio experience, minimizing phase distortion and maximizing frequency response accuracy. Proudly bearing the AAW badge, the Istana represents the pinnacle of AAW's technical expertise and commitment to high-fidelity audio performance.

Story of Istana

The term "Istana" denotes a palace in both Malay and Indonesian, serving as the distinguished appellation for the official residence and office of the President of Singapore. Nestled at the base of Mount Sophia in central Singapore, The Istana stands as a celebrated architectural marvel within the local community. Drawing inspiration from 18th-century neo-Palladian style structures crafted by British military engineers in India, The Istana exhibits a tropical design reminiscent of a Malay house. Adorned with stately columns, expansive verandahs, louvered windows, and paneled doors strategically positioned for optimal cross-ventilation, the building emanates a timeless elegance.

The commanding focal point is the central three-storey tower, soaring to a height of 28 meters. Flanking it are well-proportioned two-storey side wings, adorned with Ionic, Doric, and Corinthian orders. Notably, Ionic colonnades grace the second storey, while Doric colonnades embellish the first storey. Positioned atop an elevated site, The Istana surveys its expansive grounds, known as the Domain, evoking the grandeur of England's majestic gardens.

Absolute Audio Marvel

I was given the opportunity of a test go at this cable at Null's office b4 its official release. Coupled with my IE900, the combination is a marvel to behold with. I like the richer texture of the treble details and wonderful headroom presenation. It is expansive and 3D like. Will definitely purchase one on its release!
