AudioQuest Tower 2 RCA to 2 RCA Audio Cable Utilising solid Long-Grain Copper conductors to eliminate strand-interaction distortion, AudioQuest's Tower cables deliver a smoother and clearer sound than cables using the standard Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity (OFHC) copper. Their Noise-Dissipation System achieves 100% shield coverage, and gold-plated plugs ensure longevity, Cold-Welded to mitigate heat damage at the connection. The end result is a cable that delivers clarity and precise bass. What AudioQuest say The new entry point in the series, Tower, employs solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors, and many features used throughout the Bridges & Falls lineup, including Asymmetrical Double-Balanced Geometry, Foamed-Polyethylene insulation, Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS), and Cold-Welded Gold-Plated RCA plugs. Compared with the next step up the line, Evergreen, Tower uses slightly smaller conductors for cost-effective performance. Features : Solid Long-Grain Copper Conductors (LGC) Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) Double-Balanced Asymmetrical Geometry Cold-Welded Gold-Plated RCA Plugs Solid Long-Grain Copper Conductors (LGC) : Strand interaction is the single greatest cause of distortion in a cable. Semi-Solid Concentric Packed Conductors avoid many strand-interaction distortion mechanisms. Solid-core conductors offer a complete and compelling solution to this problem. Conductor metal quality is critical for the best cable performance. The conductor surface is the only area of the conductor with 100% current density at all frequencies. The smoothness of the conductor surface is imperative because the surface is a guide rail for the entire energy envelope. The best copper and silver conductor metals have fewer grain boundaries and low oxygen...
