AudioQuest
AudioQuest Big Sur Interconnect Cable
The AudioQuest Big Sur cable is a high-quality analog interconnect designed for portable devices and other gear that utilize 3.5mm mini-plugs to RCA connections. It features Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ Conductors (PSC+) for reduced distortion and a cleaner sound. The cable uses Foamed-Polyethylene insulation to minimize energy absorption and a Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) to prevent RF interference. Its Double-Balanced Asymmetrical Geometry enhances performance in single-ended applications, offering a richer and more dynamic audio experience. The connectors are cold-welded and gold-plated for a solder-free, low-distortion connection.
