AudioQuest Big Sur Interconnect Cable
The AudioQuest Big Sur cable represents a significant advancement in affordable analog interconnects, designed for portable devices and other equipment utilizing 3.5mm mini-plugs to RCA connections. It features Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ Conductors (PSC+) for exceptionally pure signal transmission and Foamed-Polyethylene insulation to minimize energy absorption and distortion. The cable incorporates AudioQuest's Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) to prevent RF interference from affecting the ground reference and utilizes a Double-Balanced Asymmetrical Geometry for enhanced clarity and dynamics in single-ended applications. Terminations include cold-welded, gold-plated "Purple-Copper" plugs, ensuring a solder-free connection that reduces distortion.
