MAGNETIC PROTECTION
Fact: All electrical and electronic equipment causes radio frequency interference. Processor noise, digital noise, ground noise, voltage spikes ... all contribute to the degradation and corruption of your signal and it's transference. So... How can you protect your fine resolution, and keep your silent noise floor from being contaminated? Mamushis to the rescue!

The Mamushi cables are our magnetically-shielded series of high quality audio cables. Our Mamushi cables are truly unique in the world of interference suppression. After extensive research, and innovative improvements upon the original design, Snake River Audio's Mamushis incorporate a natural capacitive rejection of radio frequency interference by their construction principles alone. The Mamushis separate the conductors using only the thinnest layer of Polytetrafluoroethylene (teflon) between the feed and the return, as well as a large air gap dielectric, and protect this configuration by surrounding it with mid-level magnets. Our magnets are specially ordered for our Mamushis, and are supersaturated with magnetism in a multiple pole magnetization pattern, so their magnetic strength is evenly distributed across the surface. Mamushi magnetically-shielded cables are available in either Mamushi Silver using either our pure (.999) silver wiring, or Mamushi Gold with our own world-famous Snake River Audio CERTIFIED oxygen-free, high-density and purity copper wire which is plated with a minimum of 80 microinches of 24k (.999 pure) gold, or our award-winning Signature Series Mamushi models utilizing a hybrid recipe of all three precious metals, pure 24k gold, pure .999 silver, and pure copper.

Our Mamushi cables are hand-crafted one pair at a time with meticulous attention to detail. We start by taking the conductor recipe desired, gold silver or hybrid. We then add only the thinnest layer of Polytetrafluoroethylene (teflon) between the feed and the return, as well as a large air gap dielectric, and protect this configuration by surrounding it with mid-level magnets. WBT 24k gold nextgen connectors or Neutrik XLR connectors complete the clean signal path of these wonderful cables.

Structural improvements over the original design not only provide the Mamushis with a premium quality construction and durability, but also remove the fragility that the original design suffered. Snake River Audio then takes the beauty of the Mamushis to the eyes, as well as the ears by providing them with a shimmering blue and red braided covering that truly can not be captured in pictures. The moment you first lay eyes on a Mamushi, your eyes will only be able to say, "wow!".

And your ears will be even more impressed! A large, natural bandwidth with an incredible soundstage will have your ears smiling from ear to e... well, they'll be smiling a lot! Music aficionados and audiophiles alike will be amazed at the low loss, complete transparency, and profiled image palpability of the Mamushis.

For a mid-priced, yet supreme quality interconnect, with the added RFI protection ... Our Mamushis have no rival whatsoever. There simply is ... nothing better.





RECIPE - HYBRID
Any precious metal used in your system's cables, or anywhere else actually, will have an effect on your music. The tonality, clarity, dimension, as well as many other factors, can all be greatly affected by which metals are used, as well as the quality of those metals. For example, silver is a very fast metal, with the lowest impedence rating of all precious metal used in audio today. The effect silver can have on music is to enhance the speed and clarity of what's being played. Details become crisper, soundstage can gain depth. Meanwhile, gold and copper can affect the richness and character of the music. A full room-filling boldness, musicality and smoothness, as well as a wide soundstage. Some have said that silver is lean and clean, while gold is rich and lush.

Our Signature Series of products use a hybrid recipe of ALL THREE metals. Pure gold, pure silver, and pure red copper. We designed this recipe for those systems that are very neutral sounding already, and for those ears that want it all - Clarity, fullness, musicality, detail, and a wide and deep soundstage. Room-filling thickness, yet pinpoint imaging, it's all there. It's like standing in the middle of an 8-lane interstate, with all lanes coming at you at once!

Best for: All systems! For those who want everything. Our Signature Series holds nothing back, you will get it all!







WHY CRYO?
Quick disclaimer: This is a very simplified explanation of the cryogenic process as it applies to electrical components of audio. We know and value the effects this process has on our products. But if you'd like a deeper more detailed explanation, you may have to consult a cryogenicist.

The raw materials used in ANY equipment, whether it's cables or tubes, or razor blades - all contain a harsh degree of residual stress. The process used to make wire itself is very stressful and straining on it's core materials. Then add to it the stresses of manufacturing that wire into a cable, soldering and twisting, etc. A cryogenic treatment relieves these stresses, and allows your equipment to perform above and beyond untreated models of the same. Resistance ratings are lowered and capacitance is improved.

The cryogenic process is well used in the audio world, from components to tubes, to cables, and with good reason. If you've ever seen how wire or some components are made, you can imagine what it's doing to that metal on a molecular level.

A very simplified analogy would be to think of two rows of numbers. The top row has numbers 1 to 5, while the second row goes from 6 to 10. Well, even through all the beating the metal takes, electrons try to stay loyal to the other atoms/molecules where they were connected before. But because everything has been twisted and reconfigured, the electrons might be trying to go from 1 to 7, then up to 2, back to 6, then over to 3, etc. Not a very efficient way to travel.


The cryogenic process utilizes liquid nitrogen, and very slowly lowers the temperature of the metals down to 320 degrees BELOW ZERO. It's actually so cold, that the electrons themselves practically quit moving. After being held at that temperature for a time to completely break any bonds those electrons had previously, the metals are then very slowly brought back up to normal temps. The effect that this has, is that when the electrons start moving again, they connect to the atoms/molecules closest and strongest to them, instead of wherever they were connected previously. Now, your electrons go straight from 1 to 2 to 3 to 4, etc. This results in lower capacitance and impedance. A much more efficient piece of conductive metal, which in audio, gives you better performance in your cables.


How does a cryo treated cable compare to an untreated model? Well, don't just take our word on this - feel free to search for yourself. There are many different accounts out there where a cryo treated cable performs better. The most common benefits attributed to cryogenically treatments are;

• Much more in-depth, focused three dimensional soundstaging
• Enhanced dynamic range
• Upper range notes are cleaner, more precise with less distortion
• Vocals are much more exact and clear
• Improved bass speed and articulation

HOW LONG UNTIL I GET MY CABLES?
All of our cables are custom built, by hand, for each customer. We have no idea of what lengths or connectors people will need for all of the various types of cables, so we do not build up inventory in advance. On average, our build queue is about 5-6 business days out. Sometimes a little longer, sometimes a little shorter. Once a cable is completed, we prefer to put it on one of our curing systems for 200 hours before shipping out to the customer. This significantly reduces the amount of time for "burn in" on your system. This is preferred, but optional. The customer can choose to 'waive' the curing process.

You are always welcome to email us info@SnakeRiverAudio.com and inquire about our current build queue status. Typically, an order is ready to ship approximately two weeks or a little more from the date of the order.

After an order is placed, you will receive an email from us letting you know our current queue status, and when your order will be expected to be built. You can reply to us at that time whether you wish to waive the curing process, or have us complete it before shipping. You will receive another email after the cable is completed, and another when it has finished curing (if not waived). We also include your information with the tracking, so you will also get updates as the cable is en route to you.





30-DAY TRIAL PERIOD
We strongly believe in making your EARS happy! We also understand that it's not always easy to listen to our cables, and the difference they can make, in person before purchasing them. Auditioning products at a show, at one of our dealers, or even here in the demo room at our shop, is great.. but it's not going to match what you have in your own system, environment and setup. So, the absolute best audition is to buy our cables, try them out in your own home for 30 days. If you like what you hear, please shoot us an email telling us so! If you don't, return them within 30 days of receiving them for a full refund. Easy Peasy!! (disclaimer: returned cables will be inspected and tested for any damage, and refund will be minus shipping/handling costs and any credit card/paypal processing fees).

Obviously, to provide this type of guarantee, we are very confident in the quality and performance that our products can bring to your system. This comes from very rarely ever having a product returned. In fact, some recent research of our books showed that about 40% of our customers came back for even more of our cables! We love that feather in our cap!





FREE SHIPPING
Yep! It's true.. we offer free shipping on all orders! This just keeps getting better all the time, don't it?
