AudioQuest Chicago Interconnect Cable
The AudioQuest Chicago Interconnect Cable is a high-value, entry-level option designed to deliver a refined audio experience. It features solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors for clearer sound, and Nitrogen-Injected Hard-Cell Foam Insulation to maintain consistent impedance. The Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) effectively prevents captured RF interference from affecting the ground reference. Its double-balanced geometry ensures low-distortion signal paths, and cold-welded, gold-plated RCA plugs provide a solder-free connection. This cable is sold as a single unit, making it ideal for connecting components with spaced-apart inputs or outputs.
