Key Features

1. High-Purity 102SSC Conductors:
   • The PH-01 RR is equipped with Oyaide’s proprietary 102SSC (Special Surface Copper) conductors, known for their ultra-high purity (99.9998%) and exceptional conductivity. The 102SSC copper undergoes multiple stages of annealing and polishing, resulting in ultra-smooth conductors that ensure minimal resistance and accurate signal transmission.
   • The use of 102SSC conductors ensures that the phono cable delivers a clear, detailed, and dynamic audio signal, preserving the integrity and warmth of your vinyl records.
2. Double-Layer Shielding for Noise Protection:
   • The PH-01 RR features a double-layer shielding system, comprising copper foil and a braided copper shield, which provides effective protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This shielding ensures that your audio signal remains clean and free from external noise, even in environments with high levels of electrical interference.
   • This comprehensive shielding is essential for maintaining signal purity, especially when dealing with the low-level signals produced by MM and VM phono cartridges.
3. Precision-Machined RCA Connectors with Rhodium Plating:
   • The PH-01 RR is terminated with high-quality RCA connectors that are precision-machined and finished with silver + rhodium plating. The use of rhodium provides excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation, ensuring that the connectors maintain their performance and conductivity over time.
   • These RCA connectors are designed to provide a secure and stable connection, reducing the risk of signal degradation or loss, which is crucial for achieving the highest fidelity in phono playback.
4. Dedicated Ground Wire for Enhanced Performance:
   • The PH-01 RR includes a dedicated ground wire, which helps eliminate hum and reduce noise, ensuring a cleaner audio signal. The inclusion of a ground wire is particularly important when connecting turntables, as it helps maintain a stable and noise-free connection.
   • The ground wire is designed to be flexible and easy to handle, making installation simple and efficient.
5. High-Quality Insulation with Polyethylene (PE):
   • The conductors of the PH-01 RR are insulated with high-quality polyethylene (PE), which offers excellent dielectric properties and helps maintain signal integrity. This insulation minimizes signal loss and ensures that the audio signal remains accurate and true to the original recording.
   • The PE insulation is also heat-resistant and durable, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Basic

PH-01RR is a low capacitance RCA phono cable optimized for the characteristics of low load capacitance MM and VM type phono cartridges such as Audio-Technica’s VM series*1 and Ortofon’s 2M series*2, which are widely used as accessory cartridges for modern record players.
(*1 Recommended load capacitance: 100 to 200pF, *2 Recommended load capacitance: 150 to 300pF)

Features

Optimizing Load Capacitance for Most of MM and VM Phono Cartridges Today

The bandwidth balance of MM and VM phono cartridges is easily affected by the load capacitance (capacitance) from the cartridge output section to the phono amplifier input section. PH-01RR optimizes the load capacitance from the MM and VM phono cartridge to the receiving phono amplifier. By ensuring proper matching, the signal picked up from the record is transmitted flatly without any bias in the playback bandwidth, as was assumed when the cartridge was designed.

“102 SSC” Precision Conductor

The cable conductor of PH-01RR is made of Oyaide Elec, original precision conductor “102 SSC”, which is the most important point for the quality of Oyaide Elec, audio cables and has been praised by audiophiles around the world.

Based on JIS C1011 oxygen-free copper base material, the conductor is manufactured with the world’s highest technology and quality, including a peeling process that removes 100% of impurities from the copper wire surface, manufacturing control with an accuracy of 1μm, and a wire drawing process using natural diamond dies to enhance the surface smoothness of the strands.

“102 SSC” precision conductor, which eliminates all impurities from the conductor surface and has a conductor surface smoothed to the utmost precision, allows “PH-01RR” to smoothly transmit music as it is without any loss of audio signal.

Phono Cable

Single-core shielded construction suitable for low capacitance is used, and the distance between the center conductor and shield is carefully adjusted to achieve low capacitance. XLPE, which has low capacitance and excellent mechanical strength, is used as the insulation material. Even when the cable is bent, the distance between signal and shield can be kept constant, ensuring stable transmission without load capacitance fluctuation.

The shield is wound horizontally and the sheath is made of Pb Free PVC to ensure cable flexibility. The RCA plugs at both ends are original plugs with 24K gold-plated contacts, and “SS-47” developed by Oyaide Electric for acoustic applications is used for soldering the RCA plugs to the cable.

Ground Cable

e conductor cross-sectional area is a thicker 1.25 sq. with oxygen-free copper 24K gold-plated Y lugs on both ends. As with the signal cable, the conductor uses the precision conductor “102 SSC” to provide high transmission performance and a stable ground connection.

Independent Phono Signal and Ground Cables

Independent signal and ground cables are provided for greater flexibility in cable routing. For record players with built-in phono amplifiers that do not have a ground terminal, only the signal cable can be used.
