AudioQuest Sydney Interconnect Cable
The AudioQuest Sydney 3.5mm Interconnect Cable offers exceptional analog performance, designed for clean, low-noise signal transmission over long distances. It features solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors, known for their purity and smooth surface, which minimize distortion and deliver a more focused sound. The cable incorporates Polyethylene Air-Tube Insulation to absorb minimal energy and reduce signal loss. Its Carbon-Based Three-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) effectively prevents captured RF interference from modulating the equipment’s ground reference. The Double-Balanced Asymmetrical Geometry is optimized for single-ended applications, providing lower impedance for a richer, more dynamic experience. Terminated with cold-welded, direct-silver-plated pure "Purple-Copper" 3.5mm mini-plugs, this cable ensures a solder-free connection for superior clarity and reduced distortion.
