AudioQuest Evergreen (Jack-Jack)

AudioQuest Evergreen (Jack-Jack)

The AudioQuest Evergreen the 2nd cable in the Bridges & Falls series. The cable uses more copper than the Tower entry model and also has a braided jacket. Available in a variety of finishes including RCA and Jack.

MASSIVE LONG-GRAIN COPPER (LGC) GUIDERS: Solid conductors prevent mutual interference between wires in twisted pair cables. The solid Long-Grain Copper in the Evergreen 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 planes between copper atoms, and certainly offers better audio performance.

DISPLAYED-POLYETHYLENE ISOLATION: Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is basically part of a non-perfect circuit. The insulation of cables and the materials from which circuit boards are made absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then released as deformation. Evergreen uses air-foamed polyethylene for the insulation of both conductors because air absorbs almost no energy and polyethylene gives little loss and has a harmless deformation profile. Thanks to the air in foamed-PE, it causes far fewer out-of-focus effects than other materials.

METAL-LOW NOISE-DISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS): 100% shielding is simple. Preventing captured RF disturbances 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.

DOUBLEBALANCED A-SYMMETRIC GEOMETRY: Designed specifically for single-ended applications, it provides a relatively lower impedance to ground and a richer and more dynamic experience. While most single-ended cable designs use the same conductor for both ground and shield, the Double-Balanced design pulls them apart for cleaner and quieter performance.

COLD WELDEDRCA 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.
