AudioQuest
AudioQuest Big Sur Interconnect Cable
The AudioQuest Big Sur cable is designed to be a landmark in affordable analog interconnects, allowing the natural beauty of your music and audio entertainment to flow through with superior engineering and metallurgy. 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 from modulating the equipment's ground reference. The Double-Balanced Asymmetrical Geometry ensures a richer, more dynamic experience, while the cold-welded, gold-plated "Purple-Copper" plugs offer a solder-free connection that reduces distortion. This cable has been recognized with "Recommended Component" honors by Stereophile for 2025.
