AudioQuest's Flat Series speaker cable is built around a SemiSolid Concentric design. While this is not as transparent as AudioQuest's SolidCore Conductors, SemiSolid wire is significantly more resolved than conventional stranded bundle wire ^^ SemiSolid Concentric Packed Conductors are used in some of AudioQuest's AC power and speaker cables as a costeffective, flexible alternative to typical stranded conductors ^^ SemiSolid Concentric Packed Conductors use fewer, larger strands that do not change position down the length of the cable. While solid conductors are the complete solution to strand distortion, SemiSolid Concentric Packed Conductors avoid many of the distortion mechanisms of stranded conductors ^^ LGC allows a smoother and clearer sound than cables using regular OFHC (OxygenFree HighConductivity) copper.
OFHC is a general metal industry specification regarding "loss" without any concern for distortion ^^ LGC has fewer oxides within the conducting material, less impurities, less grain boundaries, and definitively better performance. G2 cables use LGC strands in a SemiSolid Concentric Packed Conductor arrangement
