{"product_id":"vermilion-mkiv","title":"Vermilion MKIV","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe upgrade this time represents a major leap forward for us. The previous-generation Vermilion had already nailed the sonic signature we wanted to express, so for this iteration we pushed through significant breakthroughs in both materials formulation and physical architecture—while trickling down our most advanced flagship technology. For listeners searching for a truly interesting upgrade cable, this generation of Vermilion is an essential product to know.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn the conductor design: We overhauled the primary conductor layout. The cable now features a total of 7 thick conductor groups, each composed of 7 ultra-fine strands. Within those 7 groups, 6 are copper-based alloys and 1 is a silver-based alloy—the material difference is even visible in the contrasting colors. This 6+1 configuration (or 42+7 strand count) not only increases the total conductor mass, but the new formulation further reinforces the low-frequency body of the \"Vermilion Tuning Filter\" without sacrificing resolution. By adding weight and impact to the bass, it expands the soundstage in a way that feels both deeper and wider.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWrapped around the core conductor groups, Vermilion MK\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eIV\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e adopts a DNA-like double-helix structure. Each helix is a composite flat conductor made of graphene and mirror-finish silver. Effectively, this creates four dedicated high-frequency pathways—think of them as express lanes for specific frequency bands. The result is a marked improvement in treble clarity and a noticeable widening of the horizontal soundstage, allowing the cable to capture micro-details and overtones with razor-sharp precision. This is, in fact, trickle-down technology from our top-tier flagship Valhalla—while the helix materials differ slightly from the flagship, the structural philosophy itself carries over, giving this generation of Vermilion a quantum leap over its predecessor.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOn aesthetics and build: Visually, the new Vermilion is darker in tone and slightly thicker in diameter than the previous version. Yet the flexibility remains unchanged—which is itself a technical achievement. With more conductors packed in, the cable would theoretically be stiffer, but we upgraded the outer jacket material to achieve further weight reduction and significantly improved long-term durability.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOnce Vermilion MKIV is integrated into your system, the shift in tonal character and the expansion of the soundstage are immediately audible and visible. This is, without question, the finest \"Vermilion Tuning Filter\" we've ever created.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHere's the description of Vermilion MKIII:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eVermilion MKII was released in the summer of 2019, and customers have been loving its warm sound, affectionate appearance, and soft body. Four years have passed, and it is time for an upgrade. Our MKIII has basically doubled the structure of the MKII by having two smaller structures in each wire. Each small structure is made up of a group of thin copper alloy threads twisted together with a spiral around it. By doing so, each wire now has 40% more threads and 100% more spiral, giving the alloy material more surface area for conductivity. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eIn terms of material, we have made upgrades as well. A new composition of elements has been implemented on the copper alloy that is used for each thin thread, resulting in a significant improvement in the mid and high frequencies. The material of the copper spiral is of high-purity single crystal copper, and the shininess comes from its sonic-polished surface, expensive but beautiful, providing smooth and powerful bass.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eIn terms of sonic performance, the new Vermilion MKIII has greatly surpassed its predecessor in basically all aspects. One significant improvement is its bass, which has more power and depth than before. You will also feel a larger soundstage as a side effect. For the mid and high frequencies, we have achieved better clarity while maintaining softness for those who enjoy extended periods of music listening with less fatigue. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eAs for the appearance, Vermilion MKIII continues to be red in color for its name. It looks more complicated than before because each wire now has two spiral structures instead of one, reflecting light at different angles. The cable also uses our newest metallic parts for a chic look. The body of the MKIII cable is also softer and more tangle-free than its predecessor because of our improved sleeve material, which is the same as the ones used for Billow MKII. You can feel the cable’s amazing softness and flexibility at your fingertips. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHere's the description of Vermilion MKII:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOur first-generation Vermilion was a success with its warm copper sound and its red beauty and surpassing it took us six years. Its successor, Vermilion MKII, uses our advanced metallurgic technology of smelting high purity single crystal copper with other elements to create a special copper-based alloy in which all particles are equally distributed for the best acoustic properties. A special tube is then wrapped around dozens of these alloy threads for stability and isolation from the outside atmosphere. However, that’s not all. Single crystal copper was being compressed by tons of pressure into tape-like sheaths that wrap around the core in a spiral pattern for additional signal conduction, similar to the silver spiral sheath found in our Supernova MKII. This spiral copper layer creates a soft and warm effect to reduce the peaks and sibilants in your soundtracks as well as a more natural and larger soundstage compared to the first generation. Why are we doing all this work with the Vermilion MKII? The inspiration comes from the sound of vinyl records, and we believe that we achieved it in this Vermilion MKII. \u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe outmost layer uses the same ultra-soft sheath material as our other cables such as the Billow and the Prima Donna. This time, the sheath is not clear, but red, which gives 90% of its red appearance. The other 10% of redness that you see comes from the reflection of core material and the highly-polished spiral copper layer. We hope customers would like our wine-red Vermilion MKII, a much-improved version of the original Vermilion in all aspects.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e
