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 audio gear utilizing mini-plugs. It features Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ Conductors (PSC+) for superior signal transfer, minimizing distortion. The cable utilizes Foamed-Polyethylene insulation to absorb minimal energy and reduce distortion. Its Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) effectively prevents captured RF interference from affecting the equipment's ground reference. The Double-Balanced Asymmetrical Geometry is optimized for single-ended applications, offering lower impedance for a richer, more dynamic audio experience. Connectors are cold-welded and gold-plated for a solder-free, low-distortion connection.
