In this set up, when used as a full range cable, the Star Quad Design (Negative + Negative \/ Positive + Positive) will reduce distortion over using a standard twisted pair speaker cable. Plus, when doubling the conductors, the amount of metal is doubled as well. The larger size conductor will lower the cable’s resistance and provide higher current capability resulting in an increase in low frequency performance. Lowering the inductance and resistance means it's easier for the amp to drive the signal down the cable. Sonically, the sound is smooth and fluent as well as more dynamic, due to better definition.

Tributaries Model 8SP Banana Speaker Cables
All Series 8 audio cables are meticulously assembled by hand in Orlando, Florida. Series 8 Mark II Star-Quad speaker cables begin with extremely high-grade linear crystal copper (LC-OFC) developed specifically for audio applications. Tributaries LC-OFC is carefully drawn to produce a low crystal volume per foot resulting in less signal loss and distortion. 11AWG conductors consist of multiple solid gauges that are mathematically and tonally chosen to support low, mid and high frequencies for a natural sounding cable. Individually insulating each conductor yields zero strand interaction and better sound quality. It is important to understand that music passing through the speaker cable, is actually an AC voltage, so when voltage passes through twisted wire, there will be additional magnetic fields. Tributaries Star-Quad design not only alternates the positive and negative signal conductors but also alternates the twisted lays in each multi-gauge conductor. Alternating lays cancels all levels of magnetic distortion. The Mark II cables are silver soldered onto proprietary spade lugs and locking banana plug connectors made with Tellurium (TE) copper increasing conductivity and strength. The end result is a dead-quiet neutral sounding cable that accurately produces the sound of live music.
