AudioQuest Tower
RCA-to-RCA Interconnect Cable
Item #AQ:TOWERRCA
Overview
Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy (loss). While many single-ended cable designs use a single path for both the ground and the shield, Double-Balanced designs separate the two for cleaner, quieter performance.
- Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion. Evergreen 's solid Long-Grain Copper allows a smoother and clearer sound than cables using regular OFHC (Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity) copper. OFHC is a general metal industry specification regarding “loss" without any concern for distortion. LGC has fewer oxides within the conducting material, less impurities, less grain boundaries, and definitively better performance.
- Tower uses air-filled Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation on both conductors because air absorbs next to no energy and Polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile.
- Noise-Dissipation System prevents a significant amount of RFI from reaching the equipment 's ground plane.
- Purpose designed for single-ended applications, Asymmetrical Double-Balanced Geometry offers a relatively lower impedance on the ground for a richer, and more dynamic experience.
- Plug design allows for a connection devoid of solder, which is a common source of distortion.
