Crystal Cable is a Dutch cable and loudspeaker company founded in the mid-2000s by Gabi van der Kley-Rynveld. It works closely with Siltech, the cable company run by her husband Edwin van der Kley. Crystal Cable became known for unusually thin, flexible and elegant cables, many using silver and gold conductors and Siltech's monocrystal metals, designed to be easy to route and discreet in a living room while still performing at a high level. Its ranges run from the Micro series to the Ultra, Dreamline and Absolute Dream. The company also makes loudspeakers, most notably the Arabesque, whose sculpted glass cabinets, shaped in a curve to reduce internal reflections, make it one of the most visually striking speakers on the market. Crystal Cable's products are associated with both design and engineering, and the brand has a strong presence in Europe and Asia. Its cables are often chosen for systems where appearance matters as much as performance.

More about Crystal Cable
Crystal Cable Crystal Cable is a newly developed specialized line of audio and video cables. It is the first derivative from a new cable generation, designed and tested for critical use in the aeronautic industry. The very thin cables have a transparent outer jacket making them esthetical attractive in every interior. Crystal Cable uses a very effective concept allowing much smaller size then previously possible.
The concept is changed to "less is more"... All Crystal Cables are using an ultra-thin silver-gold conductor isolated with Kapton, made with a coaxial construction. The Crystal Cable conductors are made of high purity silver-gold solid core wires where the gold is used to fill the molecular gaps in the crystallizing procedure. The inside wire diameter starts at 0,3 mm and goes up to 1,2 mm.
The properties of the Kapton foil isolator (extremely strong, handles up to 400 degrees) make sure the small wires keep the round coaxial shape, even under extreme circumstances. Crystal Cables are not sensitive to electro-magnetic influence and will not interfere with the surrounding electric signals at all.
