Bloom's Take Azrael is an OCC copper cable known for its warm sound, and it can be the perfect cable to smooth out brightness or sibilance. Its older sibling 'Fortitude' was the most popular of the 'Virtues' series given its ability to enhance and smoothen, and with the geometry redesign and its bespoke look and feel, we expect Azrael to become a crowd pleaser as well. If you're looking for a more extended, clear sound vs. the extra warmth from pure copper, check out Eletech's Cassiel Silver-plated Copper cable from their new Virtues line.

Building upon its original and wildly popular Virtues portfolio, Eletech continues to showcase technological excellence and creativity flair with their bread & butter entry level yet high performing Virtues project. Discontinued crowd favorites Fortitude and Prudence were holding stars within the long-standing series and showcased the kind of quality that 'Virtues' strives to achieve.
This new generation of releases is no different. Consolidating experience from the team’s craft since 2019, Eletech redesigned the Copper and Silver-Plated Copper from the ground up with a new proven geometry design that’s been developed meticulously over the years and maximizes the purity of conductors through newer manufacturing processes.
Azrael is designed with a completely fresh philosophy and offers highly defined clarity levels, a perfect tinge of warmth, with layered vocals solvency. Its unique geometry combined with a high purity conductor enables Azrael to offer deep and airy staging without losing precision. Augmented by a Kevlar core, Azrael is resilient ensuring the structural stability of extremely high strand counts.
Y-Split Housing
Eletech designed Y-Split and termination housings that feature ultra-precise cuts of Seven balanced triangle with extreme attention to detail. Triangles are the most structurally stable and strong geometry, representing strength and balance. Eletech's next generation Y-Split and termination housing design have imbued a patterned geometric triangle within.
Termination Housing
The parts are made of Aluminum Alloy which features seamless structural integrity and rejects magnetic EMF radiation. Both parts are weighted to calculate not only its tensile strength but the ergonomics and aesthetics as well. Eletech’s logo is engraved using high precision apparatus to achieve an extremely deluxe finish.
Connector Housing
Every Eletech cable with the configuration of 2Pin or MMCX is sported with a bespoke-designed Eletech shell housing that’s made of the same Aluminum Alloy used in the termination housing. It’s specific chromed texture and shaping has been refined multiple times to achieve perfect ergonomics, and Eletech’s logo is engraved in similar fashion as the termination housing.
