Argento

Pure Silver Network Isolator
DESCRIPTION

To understand the sonic impact of a network isolator, you simply have to hear the Paradin® Argento for yourself. Paradin® created the world's first pure silver network isolator.

Development dates back to 2020, when the designer behind the Paradin product line gained his first experience building custom analog and digital transformers. That experience became one of the founding principles of Paradin® Audio: every detail is considered, and every detail is executed.

At its heart is a toroidal core wound with silver wire that galvanically isolates the data stream. Before winding, this core undergoes our 12-hour “vacuum impregnation process,” which further reduces its already very low inverse magnetostriction. Absolute pressure during this process is held well below 1 mBar.

The Argento's extremely rigid granite housing shields the sensitive high-frequency circuit board from mechanical influences, and together with the special potting compound provides the mechanical stability needed to minimize microphonic effects.
