AudioQuest Yosemite Interconnect Cable
Best high-fidelity interconnect for audiophiles seeking maximum signal clarity and detail.
Experience superior audio with the AudioQuest Yosemite Interconnect Cable. This 1.0-meter RCA-to-RCA cable features Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors and FEP Air-Tube insulation for minimal distortion. Its Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) organizes insulation molecules, reducing signal delay and enhancing detail. The Carbon-Based 3-Layer Noise-Dissipation System prevents RF interference, while the Asymmetrical Double-Balanced Geometry ensures a richer, more dynamic sound. Equipped with Cold-Welded Direct-Silver Plated Pure Red Copper RCA Plugs, this cable offers a clean, clear, and engaging sonic presentation.

Know before you buy
The DBS creates a constant electrostatic field that organizes the insulation molecules. This process reduces signal delay and time-smear, resulting in a more detailed and clearer sound.
Solder can introduce impurities and create a weak point in the signal path. Cold-welding creates a high-pressure, permanent connection that ensures a cleaner, more reliable signal transfer between your components.
This system prevents radio-frequency interference from reaching your equipment's ground plane. By effectively shielding the signal from external noise, it ensures that the audio remains clean and free from background hum or distortion.
Solid conductors eliminate the electrical and magnetic interaction between strands, which is a primary source of distortion in standard cables. The PSC+ process creates a smoother, purer surface that allows the signal to travel with significantly less friction and clarity loss.
Yes, the Yosemite is an excellent choice for analog connections like turntables. Its balanced geometry and advanced shielding are specifically designed to handle the delicate, low-level signals typical of phono stages.
