AudioQuest Black Beauty Interconnect Cables
The AudioQuest Black Beauty Analog Interconnect cable brings the company's ZERO-Tech technology to a wider audience. Designed as a pair of cables, it features direction-controlled solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors, foamed-Polyethylene insulation, and a carbon/graphene mesh-network for effective noise dissipation. It also includes 0.5% silver-plated RF drain-wires and copper-plated RF-draining barrels to minimize distortion and RF noise. The plugs are finished with hanging-silver over red-copper for optimal signal transfer. This cable aims for linear, wide-bandwidth noise dissipation and uncompressed transients, offering an open playback with prominent midrange and easy-to-follow vocals.
