AudioQuest Big Sur Interconnect Cable
The AudioQuest Big Sur cable represents a significant advancement in affordable analog interconnects, designed for portable devices and other gear utilizing 3.5mm mini-plugs to RCA connections. It features Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ Conductors (PSC+) for superior signal integrity and a smooth, pure surface that minimizes distortion. The cable employs Foamed-Polyethylene insulation, which absorbs minimal energy, and AudioQuest's Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) to prevent RF interference from affecting the equipment's ground reference. Its Double-Balanced Asymmetrical Geometry is optimized for single-ended applications, offering a lower impedance ground for a richer, more dynamic audio experience.
