AudioQuest Big Sur Interconnect Cable
The AudioQuest Big Sur cable is designed to be a landmark in affordable analog interconnects for portable devices and other gear. It features Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ Conductors (PSC+) for low distortion, Foamed-Polyethylene insulation to minimize energy absorption, and a Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) to prevent RF interference. Its Double-Balanced Asymmetrical Geometry provides a lower impedance on the ground for a richer, more dynamic experience. The cable is terminated with cold-welded, gold-plated Purple-Copper plugs, ensuring a solder-free connection.
