AudioQuest Chicago RCA
Price is per pair. Also available as single cable (for e.g. Center channel or Subwoofer) for 50% of the pair price.
MASSIVE LONG-GRAIN COPPER (LGC) GUIDERS: Solid conductors prevent mutual interference between wires in twisted pair cables. The solid Long-Grain Copper in the Chicago provides a smoother and brighter sound than is possible with cables using ordinary OFHC (Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity) copper. OFHC is a generic specification in the metal industry that looks only at "loss" without regard to distortion. LGC has fewer oxides in the conductive material, fewer impurities, fewer boundary areas between copper atoms, and certainly offers better audio performance.
HARD-CELL FOAM INSULATION: Hard-Cell Foam insulation is used exclusively in most of AudioQuest’s video and digital audio cables. Similar to Foamed-PE, it is nitrogen injected to create air pockets. “Hard” foam is used because the stiffness of the material allows the conductors in the cable to maintain the same relationship with each other along the entire length of the cable, thus ensuring that the characteristic impedance of the cable is consistent.
METAL-LOW NOISE-DISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS): 100% shielding is easy. Preventing captured RF interference from modulating equipment ground potential requires AQ's Noise-Dissipation System. Noise-Dissipation System prevents much of the captured RFI from reaching the equipment ground potential.
DOUBLE-BALANCED GEOMETRY: Two optimized audio conductors and a separate shield. This not only prevents the shield from having to be used as an inferior audio signal path, it also improves sound quality because the shield is only connected to ground on one side, reducing modulation of ground potential.
COLD WELDED GOLDED PLUGS: This plug design allows for a connection without solder, a common source of distortion. Because the plugs are pressed rather than machined, a metal with low distortion can be chosen without having to consider machinability.
