AudioQuest Chicago Interconnect Cable
The AudioQuest Chicago is a high-value entry-level interconnect cable designed to bring refinement to your audio system. 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 RF interference from affecting your equipment's ground reference. Its Double-Balanced Geometry ensures low-distortion signal paths, and the cold-welded, gold-plated RCA plugs provide a solder-free connection. This cable is sold as a pair of two separate cables, ideal for setups where device inputs or outputs are not closely spaced.
