Esprit has announced the U.S. arrival of Generation 10—also referred to as Generation X. Following its European debut at High End Vienna 2026 in June, Generation 10 is now available to order through Esprit’s authorized U.S. dealers.
What’s new in Generation 10
The lineup includes speaker cables and jumpers, RCA and XLR analog interconnects, phono cables, digital interconnects (S/PDIF, AES/EBU, USB, Ethernet, and master clock) and AC power cords.
With Generation 10, Esprit has comprehensively re-engineered every cable across its entire lineup from the entry-level ALPHA to the reference range L’ESPRIT, starting with revised dimensions and geometries and reworked connectors. The new connectors use less material in the signal path and, depending on the range, employ pure copper, silver-plated pure copper or pure silver center pins.
On certain architectures, Esprit has moved from the symmetrical 0.08mm conductor structure used in Generation 9 to an asymmetrical design pairing 0.08mm strands on the positive conductor with 0.30mm strands on the negative conductor.
Insulation has also been reworked with the rigid insulating material now applied under vacuum for a harder, more stable structure.
Partial shielding technology carried over from Generation 9 remains in place across applicable cables and select ranges that already used polarization now feature double polarization.
