AgPur’s cable cores consist of arrays of variable strands, arranged in accordance with the Golden Mean ratio. Each hand-polished silver strand sits in its own voluminous air-cushion within a fluorocarbon barrier to provide vanishingly low dielectric interference and phase-perfect performance. This purely holistic strand arrangement ensures optimal performance by also eliminating cross-strand effects whilst ensuring low capacitance and self-resonance. AgPur thus provides a complete 100% silver pathway, using only roomy Teflon ”air-tubes” as physical barriers. No PVC, PE, other plastics, textiles or foams are used!
Unlike many other “pure” silver interconnects that only offer 19-24AWG total conductor mass, thus possibly reducing signal current, silver mass in AgPur starts at 18 AWG in our new Althea and prior Athene models, increasing to 16 AWG in the Heracles (legacy) and culminating in an unheard of 15 AWG in the new peerless AMEN providing new-found level of pellucidity in the top octaves and huge bass slam!
Multiple pairs of solid Ag strands, scaled by the Golden Ratio (1.618), combine to provide a naturally balanced musical portrayal through all octaves... with unmatched air, top octave resolution, and exquisitely detailed stage imagery. ALTHEA and AMEN use an Ag-plated fluorocarbon dielectric premium XLR. Locking Neutriks are a no-cost substitution for Pro or studio use. Single-ended RCA versions use a minimal mass silver KLEi premium connectors. These designs preserves an all Ag conductor path, providing total signal coherence.
ArgentPur offers two tiers of solid pure Ag Interconnects, available both single ended (RCA) and balanced (XLR).
Athenehas been the very popular original 4-strand/leg (18AWG 0.9mm2) interconnect in a variable strand array for extremely high clarity and resolution. It was a Goldilocks choice, and the heart of ArgentPur's value option. I have several pairs left, all at -20% discount, as corrected in the current prices listed. She has been replaced in late 2026 by ALTHEA, which adds a superfine Ag strand for even more top-octave detail and soundstage flesh, at the same price original ATHENE prices. Note that the limited stock remaining consists of several RCA 1M, one RCA 1.5M and one RCA 3M, as well several XLR 1M and one XLR 2M pair.

ArgentPur Heracles comprised 6 Ag strands/conductor in a 16AWG (1.3mm2) aggregate solid Ag construction, providing top octave air and a thunderous, totally coherent full-frequency presentation for very highly resolving systems. (The new AMEN adds two ultra-fine Ag strands for even more upper octave air and resolution in an 8 strand/conductor matrix. Remaining stock of the heralded Heracles are offered at 20% discount!, as reflected on the price roster. Availability limited to: RCA 0.5M, RCA 1M, RCA 1M shielded; XLR several 1M, inc one shielded.

ArgentPur's statement interconnect AMEN adds ULTRA-fine Ag strands to Heracles (legacy) in an 8 Ag strand/conductor 15AWG aggregate to provide even more transparent and detailed, natural presentation and unprcedented upper octave resolution and soundstage depth. Suitable for the absolute best reference systems. Amen...the answer to all your interconnecting prayers!
