AUDIOQUEST GOLDGATE1M 1M Golden Gate RCA to RCA

For superb sound at an affordable price - AUDIOQUEST GOLDGATE1M 1M Golden Gate RCA to RCA analog audio interconnect has solid Perfect Surface Copper (PSC) conductors and asymmetrical double-balanced geometry.

SOLID PERFECT-SURFACE COPPER CONDUCTORS (PSC):
Perfect-Surface Copper has an astonishingly smooth and pure surface. Proprietary metal-processing technology protects the wires surface at every stage of drawing and fabrication. When high-purity low-oxide copper is kept as soft pure and smooth as possible it becomes a wonderfully low-distortion conductor. For over 30 years AudioQuest has pioneered the use of superior metals; yet even we were surprised by this huge leap in performance. PSC clearly outperforms previous AQ metals that cost over ten times as much. Electrical and magnetic interaction between strands in a conventional cable is the greatest source of distortion often causing a somewhat dirty harsh sound. Solid conductors are fundamental toward achieving Golden Gate's very clean sound.

FOAMED-POLYETHYLENE INSULATION:
Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Golden Gate 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. Thanks to all the air in Foamed-PE it causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials.

METAL-LAYER NOISE-DISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS):
100% shield coverage is easy.
