AudioQuest Chicago Interconnect Cable
The AudioQuest Chicago Interconnect Cable is a high-value, entry-level cable designed to deliver a refined audio experience. It features Solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors for clearer sound and Nitrogen-Injected Hard-Cell Foam Insulation to maintain consistent impedance. The Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) prevents RF interference from affecting the ground reference, while the Double-Balanced Geometry ensures low-distortion signal paths. This cable consists of two separate strands, making it ideal for setups where device inputs or outputs are not closely positioned.
