AudioQuest Black Beauty Interconnect Cable
The AudioQuest Black Beauty Analog Interconnect cable brings the advanced ZERO-Tech technology to a broader audience. This interconnect is sold as a pair and features direction-controlled Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors, foamed-polyethylene insulation, and a Level 6 Noise-Dissipation system. It utilizes a carbon/graphene mesh-network and direction-controlled conductors to minimize RF noise. The cable also includes 0.5% silver-plated RF drain-wires and copper-plated plug casings for efficient noise dissipation. Its plugs feature hanging silver over red copper for uncompromised signal transfer. The ZERO-Tech design eliminates characteristic impedance for linear, wide-bandwidth noise dissipation and uncompressed transients.
