Crystal Cable Infinity Power Cords and A.R.T. Electro-Magnetic Treatments: Ultimate System Noise Reduction

Elevate your audio clarity and silence with Crystal Cable Infinity power cords and A.R.T. electro-magnetic treatments, cutting system noise like never before.

Introduction: Exclusive High-End Audio Enhancements

Let’s be upfront: the gear we’re diving into isn’t your everyday audio upgrade. If you can’t swing $34,000 for a 2-meter Crystal Cable Infinity power cord, or $5,500 for each extra half meter, and $800 up to $12,500 for Audio Realignment Technologies’ (A.R.T.) electromagnetic treatment mats, this review might just make your wallet wince.

But here’s the thing—while these pricey gadgets don’t involve black magic (though the A.R.T. gear feels pretty mysterious), they do harness esoteric technologies that genuinely impact what you hear. Their goal? Slashing your system’s noise floor so much that sound becomes crystal clear, nuanced, and alive—offering an auditory experience as vivid as a clear winter sky.

Both products use rare, precious metals but in distinct ways, and both achieve a much quieter, clearer soundstage by improving the signal-to-noise ratio in your setup.

Crystal Cable Infinity Power Cords: The Silver Bullet for Noise

Crystal Cable’s Infinity cords are no ordinary cables. Limited to only 200 pieces, these power cords incorporate solid-core silver conductors made from an “infinite crystal” form of silver—purified and free of internal boundaries or impurities. They feature nine coaxial conductors (three each for positive, neutral, and ground), braided in a symmetrical matrix that blends solid and stranded wire benefits.

This intricate design, created by Crystal Cable's visionary CEO Edwin Rynveld, is engineered to:

• Reduce RF distortion
• Block magnetic interference
• Create an ultra-low-loss superconducting path with almost zero resistance

The result? A stunning leap in sound quality—deeper silence, more detailed textures, and effortless dynamics.

During testing with Vitus Audio Signature Series Class A amplifiers and preamplifiers, the Infinity cords revealed layers of music previously masked by noise. For example, Tobias Tautscher’s double bass and Maximillian Djokic’s cajón in Hans Theessink’s “Down in the Hole” became distinct, individual voices instead of a muddled mix.

Equally striking was the Festival Quartet’s performance of Brahms’ Piano Quartet No. 1, where violin, cello, and viola lines emerged with newfound clarity and depth.

“The Infinities create an ‘ultra-low-loss superconductor with almost zero resistance and vanishingly low source impedance’, enhancing clarity and background quiet.” — Crystal Cable

A.R.T. Electro-Magnetic Treatments: Mysterious Tech, Proven Results

At first glance, A.R.T.’s electro-magnetic mats look like simple placemats. But these passive devices, developed by scientists and engineers, are packed with layers of a proprietary rare-earth metal compound designed to absorb and minimize the negative effects of electronic noise—namely EMF, EMI, and RFI.

These mats come in various sizes and configurations, and when placed on or under amplifiers and preamps, they promise:

• Tighter, deeper bass with less distortion
• More detailed and resolved sound
• Enhanced clarity and dynamic range
• Warmer, more natural tonal balance
• Quieter backgrounds and improved imaging

Testing confirmed these claims, even on systems already equipped with Infinity cords. A.R.T. mats deepen the silence further, creating an impressively black backdrop that makes instruments and voices pop with tangible presence. For instance, Ray Brown’s double bass on This One's For Blanton sounds more dimensional and alive, revealing nuances in attack and decay.

Similarly, Duke Ellington’s Duke’s Big Four showcases a piano’s sweet decay and cymbals’ delicate sizzle, all traceable to near inaudibility thanks to the combination of Infinity cords and A.R.T. mats.

Why Silence is Worth the Price

Silence isn’t just golden; it’s transformative for high-end audio systems. These two products don’t just reduce noise—they redefine the listening experience by letting the music breathe with extraordinary purity. If you’re looking to elevate your system beyond standard tweaks, Crystal Cable’s Infinity power cords paired with A.R.T.’s electromagnetic treatments could be the pinnacle upgrade.
