LUNA CABLES ORANGE Series Neo Vintage Copper Conductor Ground Cable

Product Concept

In audio systems, much of the hum and noise is caused by differences in ground potential between devices or ground loops. Luna Cables ORANGE Ground addresses this issue as a dedicated ground cable. Especially when connecting a turntable and phono equalizer with RCA/RCA phono cables, a separate ground wire is required, which ORANGE Ground fulfills. Additionally, it can be used to reduce overall system noise as a countermeasure against ground loops between devices.

Using two LCNV (Luna Cable Neo Vintage) 18AWG conductors, both ends are terminated with nickel-plated copper mini spades. All contact points are hand-soldered, and the exterior is unified with a cotton jacket, adhering to the design philosophy of the ORANGE series.

Luna Cables: Handmade cables from Montreal

Luna Cables is a handmade audio cable brand based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. All products are produced in small quantities in a workshop, with each cable individually finished by craftsmen. The careful workmanship and attention to materials, which mass-produced items lack, support the musicality of Luna Cables.

■ LCNV Conductor (Luna Cable Neo Vintage): A unique conductor produced by vintage processing machines

LCNV is Luna Cable's proprietary copper conductor produced using its own formulation and manufacturing method. By deliberately using vintage wire processing machines instead of cutting-edge CNC machines, we produce conductors with unique crystal structures and flexibility that modern precision machinery cannot replicate. This approach of "bringing the goodness of the old" to modern hi-fi is the core of Luna's sound.

■ Waxed Cottondielectric: Vibration control and musicality provided by natural materials

LCNV also features waxed cottondielectricIt is covered as such.dielectricThis term refers to the electrical properties of the coating material covering the conductor; the lower the material's dielectric constant, the less unnecessary interference there is on the signal waveform. Cotton soaked in wax has a lower dielectric constant compared to plastic materials, minimizing signal interference while also providing high vibration control performance. It absorbs fine noise from external vibrations, enhancing sound focus while achieving smooth and rich musical expression without feeling oppressive.

■ Uncompromising craftsmanship finishing every contact point by hand

All Luna Cables cables are hand-soldered at each connection point (All connections hand-soldered). The precise contact quality that cannot be achieved through mass mechanical production directly affects signal transparency and long-term reliability. This meticulous process is one of the reasons Luna Cables stands shoulder to shoulder with top audio brands.

■ Cotton Jacket: Unified from inside to outside with natural materials

The exterior features a flexible and easy-to-handle cotton jacket. It offers moderate flexibility and sound absorption that synthetic resin tubes lack, suppressing unnecessary tension and vibration transmission during installation. Luna's philosophy of thoroughly unifying materials from inside to outside using natural materials is reflected here as well.

Main Features

• LCNV 18AWG Conductor × 2 pieces:Uses two 18AWG LCNV copper conductors, the same as the ORANGE Speaker. While ensuring the low-resistance path necessary for equalizing ground potential, Luna Cables adheres to its unique material philosophy.
• Nickel-plated copper mini spade termination:Nickel-plated copper mini spades are used at both ends. They can be securely fixed to the turntable or amplifier grounding terminals, maintaining a stable connection over the long term.
• Combination with RCA/RCA Phono Cables:When using the ORANGE Phono Cable in the RCA/RCA configuration, connecting this cable from the turntable's grounding terminal to the phono equalizer's grounding terminal prevents hum and noise interference.
• All Contact Points Hand-Soldered:All contact points are carefully hand-soldered by artisans.
