Ultimate Silver Series (Lite Version) interconnect Cable, XLR ~ Ultimate Silver Series uses 7 solid cores of 24GA to 32GA per signal path of 5N OCC silver wires mix with 20GA of Duelund tinned copper wires. Ultimate Silver Series (Lite Version) will have about 90% quality of the standard version of the Ultimate Silver Series XLR interconnect cable. It is designed for audiophiles who preferred to have XLR cable that have full flexibility, light weight and lower cost than Ultimate Silver series. 

Ultimate Silver series XLR Interconnect Cable is designed to have both the sound characteristics of WE and modern pure silver sound characteristic. It is a balance sound characteristic of WE and pure silver, thus could likely match well with most of the High-end system.

A simple term for the selection of top 5 series with different sound characteristics:

1. If you like vintage Duelund Western Electric sound, can select Xtreme series
2. If you like modern 5N pure silver sound, can select True Silver series
3. If you like Duelund Western Electric sound, but would like to add pure silver sound characteristic too, can select Xtreme Silver series
4. If you like 5N pure silver sound, but would like to add Duelund vintage WE sound characteristic too, can select Ultimate Silver series
5. If you like both the Duelund Western Electric sound and the modern pure silver sound equally, can select Flagship series

My Humble Comments: If you like both the WE sounds and the Pure Silver sounds; and if you can’t decide between the Xtreme Series and True Silver series, then the best choice will be the Xtreme Silver series or Ultimate Silver series. However, if you prefer a light weight cable with more flexibility, Ultimate Silver Series (Lite Version) XLR interconnect cable is a better choice.

Cable Run-In: Audiolund cables are mostly multi-core design with various combinations of wires. Thus, all Audiolund cables will require a long time to run in.  OCC Silver wires are thick solid core wires, will take even longer time to run in than Duelund tinned copper multi-strands of parallel thin core wires. The general guideline for run-in time, estimated 100 – 200 hours.
