VERMILLION

 

Silver-Gold Interconnects Without the Snake-oil

 

We call out the 10× markups of the cable industry. Vermillion gives you world-class 

Mundorf silver-gold cables at real value: parts + fair labor. 

 

 

 

Why Vermillion exists

 

Most ultra high-end cables cost €3,000… €5,000… even €10,000.
 

Not because the materials justify it — but because brands load on massive markups and glossy marketing.

 

At Virtual Hi-Fi, we don’t play that cable game.

 

Vermillion is built on a simple promise:

 

  • The world’s finest conductors: Mundorf silver-gold solid core & Duelund tinned copper wire
  • The best connectors available: WBT Nextgen & Viborg pure silver connectors
  • Carefully chosen extras: multi-layer copper shielding, 4-layer sleeves, Mundor silver solder
  • A flat €100 for expert hand assembly.
  • Free insured Worldwide shipping

 

That’s it. No voodoo. No 500% markup. Just pure music.

 

 

 

 

 

Why we do it that way

 

The answer is simple: cables are basically a commodity.

 

Compared to the speakers and other projects that we do, cables require little R&D once you’ve found the perfect recipe.

Logistics are simple: small, light, easy to ship and store.

Production is straightforward, with minimal overhead.

 

👉 That’s why we can price Vermillion at cost + fair labor, but our loudspeakers need higher margins to sustain R&D and production, logistics etc.

 

With cables, we found a recipe that works perfectly — so we decided to disrupt the most over-marked-up corner of the high-end world, and give you the best sound & deal you’ll ever find in cables.

 

 

 

How Is This Real? How Do We Make Money?

 

Good question.

 

If you went online today, bought 4 meters of Mundorf wire and 4 WBT connectors, and soldered them into a cable yourself… you’d spend almost the same as Vermillion.

 

The difference?
We buy hundreds of connectors and hundreds of meters of cable at wholesale pricing. That gives us a discount. That discount is our margin.

 

 

 

The Vermillion Interconnect Build 

 

Mundorf SGW110W Silver-Gold Wire

  • Solid-core, 1.0 mm diameter per conductor
  • 99% silver + 1% gold alloy.
  • Teflon insulation for perfect dielectric performance.

Connectors

  • RCA: WBT 0110 Ag Nextgen Silver.
  • XLR: Viborg Silver & Carbon

Shielding & Damping

  • Directional double layer copper shielding  for noise rejection.
  • Quadruple sleeving layer for mechanical elasticity and vibration control.

 

 

The 1.0 mm diameter matter

 

 

Most “high-end” silver Interconnects use 0.3–0.5 mm conductors. Vermillion uses 1.0 mm solid core for every conductor.

 

Vermillion 1mm conductor section area →  0.785 mm² 

Typical 0.5mm conductor section area → 0.196 mm² 

 

👉 That’s 4× more material per wire.
👉 Four times the conductor mass = fuller tone, stronger current handling, more authority.

 

 

 

Vermillion Speaker Cables

 

 

The Vermillion Series represents our highest expression of speaker cable design, created to deliver a sound that is both natural and emotionally powerful. Within the series you’ll find two distinct models — the Vermillion Spark and the Vermillion Flame. Each is built from carefully chosen conductors and finished with WBT Nextgen Silver connectors, but with different design approaches to let you choose the cable that best matches your system and listening preferences.

 

 

 

Vermillion Spark Speaker Cables
 

 

The Vermillion Spark is built around the legendary DUELUND DCA16GA wire — two strands twisted together for each positive and negative conductor. This design creates a beautifully musical and natural presentation, where vocals and instruments are portrayed with lifelike presence and holography.

 

By doubling and twisting the strands, the Spark gains an additional layer of depth, body, and richness, producing a sound that feels organic yet powerful.

 

At the connection point, we use WBT Nextgen Silver connectors — chosen for their ability to add presence, midrange richness, and stunning detail retrieval, while enhancing the cable’s already holographic character.

 

The result is a highly advanced speaker cable that blends natural tonality, deep bass authority, and lifelike energy, delivering a presentation that feels as close to a live performance as possible.

 

 

 

Vermillion Flame Speaker Cables

 

 

 

The Vermillion Flame combines two exceptional conductors: DUELUND DCA12GA and Mundorf SGW110W. The DUELUND brings its signature organic, musical character with deep, powerful bass, while the Mundorf silver-gold solid core adds openness, dynamics, holography, and natural refinement.

 

Together, they create a cable that is both richly musical and explosively dynamic — balancing warmth and fullness with air, detail, and a concert-like sense of energy. By blending the strengths of both conductors, the Flame delivers an extremely well-balanced, natural, and emotionally engaging performance with outstanding holography, presence, and flow.

 

As with the Spark, we use WBT Nextgen Silver connectors to complete the design. They enhance midrange richness, add presence, and preserve the cable’s remarkable resolution and soundstage depth.

 

The result is a reference-level speaker cable that combines organic musicality with breathtaking realism, making every listening session feel alive.

 

 

 

WBT Nextgen Silver Connectors 

 

 

For many years, I have tested connectors from Mundorf, WBT, Furutech, Neotech, Kacsa, and many others. What’s fascinating is that the sonic differences go far beyond the choice of base material (copper or silver) or plating (silver, gold, rhodium). Even connectors made from the same material can sound completely different depending on the manufacturer.

 

This may come down to purity, geometry, conductor thickness, or other subtle design factors. After countless comparisons, I chose the WBT Nextgen Silver series for Vermillion cables — and for a reason. In my experience, they are the most present, dynamic, open, holographic, and richly textured connectors available today.

 

They deliver stunning resolution and soundstage depth, but also something far less expected: organic naturalness, richness, and bass authority. Interestingly, the WBT Nextgen Silver outperforms even the copper–gold-plated version from the same line. Where the copper favors the upper midrange and lacks some extension and refinement, the silver version provides a more complete performance across the spectrum — with deeper bass, greater resolution, and a more natural midrange.

 

Simply put, the WBT Nextgen Silver connectors combine world-class resolution and detail with unmatched dynamics, naturalness, and musicality. This unique balance is why I chose them as the heart of the Vermillion cables.

 

 

 

What You'll hear

 

 

Silver cables are often praised for their detail — and just as often criticized for sounding bright, thin, or fatiguing. That was my experience too. Many manufacturers use minimal amounts of silver (to cut costs), and the result is a sound that lacks body and naturalness.

 

But not all silver is the same. Diameter, purity, and alloy composition matter enormously. Even at the connector level, silver can make a profound difference: in my testing, WBT Nextgen Silver consistently outperformed copper, offering not just more detail, but also a wider soundstage, richer mids, and deeper bass.

 

With every cable in the Vermillion series, you’ll experience:

 

  • Immersive lifelike sound
  • Smooth highs and mids without harshness
  • Richer, dynamic natural mids
  • 3D holography and wide soundstage
  • Deep, fast, controlled bass
  • Effortless musical flow

 

Vermillion aren't just another cables They are proof that high-end can be honest, natural, and complete.

 

 

 

 

Reviews

 

“Vermillion XLR interconnect + Vermillion Flame speaker cable augmented what I associate as silver virtues—lucidity, transparency, directness, airiness, speed, taut bass, high separation—with a table spoon of diffusive/elastic softness. Given my long-ago gold experience, I naturally correlated that effect with Mundorf's micro dosing of gold.

 

We could even call it subtle sweetening or temporal stretching. For me it stayed clear of dancing on the edge with fiery material. It undercut silver's potential to get splashy, brittle or dry as we prime the pump whilst, on say intense Flamenco, gipsy singers strain their high registers, guitar strings flare in flashy runs and dancers execute machine-gun heel attacks on resonant floor boards.”
