The AudioQuest Big Sur Interconnect Cable is designed to be a landmark in affordable analog audio connections for portable devices and other compatible gear. It features Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ Conductors (PSC+) for superior signal integrity and a low-distortion sound. The cable utilizes Foamed-Polyethylene insulation to minimize energy absorption and distortion, along with AudioQuest's Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) to prevent RF interference. Its Double-Balanced Asymmetrical Geometry ensures a richer, more dynamic audio experience. The cable is terminated with cold-welded, gold-plated pure "Purple-Copper" plugs for a solder-free, clean connection.
