The EMOTIONAL LEAD is a sublime shell lead wire that will provide a mind-blowing experience, releasing the likes of which you’ve never heard from your records.
Thorough wire polishing technology
EMOTIONAL LEAD was created using thorough polishing techniques. The wire surface, where solder is applied, is processed to a mirror finish using a variety of polishing techniques to match material of the wire, pushing the surface to the limit. The layer of solder alloy is controlled to ideal proportions to achieve the intended sound. Tamahagane blades, which were used for Japanese swords, are used for the polishing.
