TAP improves the sonic performance of the cable by modifying the behavior of the electromagnetic wave that surrounds the signal cable. In effect, the TAP blocks longitudinal-oriented waves while passing transverse-oriented waves. The effect in sonic terms is like using polarized sunglasses to reduce reflected sunlight. Correcting polarization micro-distortion reduces what some call sonic glare. ~ Patent Pending ~\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"icon-box featured-box icon-box-left text-left\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"icon-box-img\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"icon\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"icon-inner\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"icon-box-text last-reset\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKPIP™\u003c\/strong\u003e (Kinetic Phase Inversion Process) was developed by Caelin Gabriel after years of research into the underlying causes of various effects such as burn-in, wire directionality and the effects of cryogentic treatment. He discovered that there was an underlying core principle that burn-in and cryogenics only “partially” addressed. Once the governing principle was understood it became possible to create a processing technique and machine that could virtually eliminate the need for burn-in and cryogenic treatment.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"icon-box featured-box icon-box-left text-left\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"icon-box-img\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"icon\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"icon-inner\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"icon-box-text last-reset\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArNi®\u003c\/strong\u003e is a type of wire created by Shunyata Research designed to be the finest quality wire available for audio purposes.

Copper wire is created by an extrusion process that pulls a rod of cold copper through a small orifice which creates multiple crystalline boundaries. By contrast, Ohno wire is made by a process using heated molds that cast a wire to form a single crystalline structure. Ohno wire is well known for its exceptionally pure, grain-free sonic qualities.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"icon-box featured-box icon-box-left text-left\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"icon-box-img\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"icon\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"icon-inner\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"icon-box-text last-reset\"\u003eShunyata Research uses only the highest purity of copper available for the production of its wire products. \u003cstrong\u003eOFE Alloy 101\u003c\/strong\u003e or C10100 is the highest grade of copper with a minimum 99.99% purity and a conductivity rating of 101% IACS.
