AudioQuest
AudioQuest Big Sur Interconnect Cable
The AudioQuest Big Sur cable is a landmark in affordable analog interconnects, designed to let the natural beauty of your music and audio entertainment flow through. It features Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ Conductors (PSC+) for superior signal integrity and a smooth, pure surface. The cable utilizes Foamed-Polyethylene insulation, which absorbs minimal energy and has a benign distortion profile. Its Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) prevents captured RF interference from modulating the equipment's ground reference. The Double-Balanced Asymmetrical Geometry is purpose-designed for single-ended applications, offering a lower impedance on the ground for a richer, more dynamic experience. It is terminated with cold-welded, gold-plated pure "Purple-Copper" plugs, avoiding solder for reduced distortion.
