AudioQuest Cinnamon HDMI Cable - 26.25 ft. (8m)
Solid 1.25 % Silver Conductors for Improved Digital Performance Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Solid silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high-frequency applications like HDMI audio and video. These signals being such a high frequency travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor. As the surface is made of high-purity silver the performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable but priced much closer to solid copper cable. This is an incredibly cost effective way of manufacturing very high-quality HDMI cables. Hard-Cell Foam Insulation Hard-Cell Foam (HCF) Insulation ensures critical signal-pair geometry. Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Hard-Cell Foam Insulation is similar to the Foamed-PE used in our more affordable Bridges Falls cables and is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets. Because nitrogen (like air) does not absorb energy and therefore does not release any energy from or into the conductor distortion is reduced. In addition the stiffness of the material allows the cable's conductors to maintain a stable relationship along the cable's full length producing a stable impedance character and further minimizing distortion. High Speed Data Capacity HDMI standards and capabilities have improved significantly since DVI first evolved into HDMI. All generations are backward compatible. However not all previous HDMI cables can transmit the full 18Gbps of data required to optimize todays HDMI 2.0 equipment. While there is currently no 4K/60 4:4: 4 software requiring the full 18Gbps capability of HDMI some sources (UHD Blu-ray players) can be set to up-sample requiring 18Gbps capability. Up-sampling often should be done in the TV rather than in a previous component but thats your decision. AudioQuest HDMI cables with "Exceeds 18 G bps" on the box front are guaranteed to exceed the requirements for all possible HDMI data streams. Directionality All drawn metal strands or conductors have a non-symmetrical and therefore directional grain structure. AudioQuest controls the resulting RF impedance variation so that noise is drained away from where it will cause distortion. The correct direction is determined by listening to every batch of metal conductors used in every AudioQuest audio cable. Arrows are clearly marked on the connectors to ensure superior sound quality. HDMI Active AudioQuest Pearl Forest and Cinnamon HDMI make use of Active Frequency-Equalization to enable full 18Gbps/4K UltraHD performance from 10 to 15 meters.

Audioquest - Boxer - Subwoofer Cable - 16 Meters - RCAs
The Boxer breed originated in Germany in the late 19th century and was brought to the US after World War I. Today, Boxers are a part of the AKC’s Working Dog Group. Don’t be fooled by that “worried” look on a Boxer’s face. Boxers are known for their fun-loving, genial, and at times downright clown-like demeanor, as well as their remarkable rapport with children. However, Boxers are equally known for courage in the face of danger, or threat to family or loved ones. The Boxer’s innate intelligence, combined with its natural strength of stature, makes it a breed beloved by many. SOLID 1.25 % SILVER CONDUCTORS: Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Solid silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high-frequency applications. These signals, being such a high frequency, travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor. As the surface is made of high-purity silver, the performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable, but priced much closer to solid copper cable. This is an incredibly cost effective way of manufacturing very high-quality subwoofer cables. POLYETHYLENE AIR-TUBE 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. All of Boxer’s conductors use PE Air-Tube Insulation because air absorbs next to no energy, and Polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile. PE Air-Tube Insulation causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials. CARBON-BASED 3-LAYER NOISE-DISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS): 100% shield coverage is easy. Preventing captured RF Interference from modulating the equipment’s ground reference requires AQ’s Noise-Dissipation System. Metal and Carbon-Loaded synthetics prevent most RFI from reaching the equipment’s ground plane.

AudioQuest - Cinnamon TosLink (Full to Mini, 1.5m)
Several highly polished polymer fibers instead of a single plastic conductor Greater resolution and improved tonality Surprising transient performance Excellent dynamic gradations Smoother, more natural tonal palette A revolution in fiber optic cable design, Cinnamon Optilink uses several highly polished polymer fibers instead of a single plastic conductor.? These polymer fibers are more efficient at conducting light (information) giving Cinnamon Optilink greater resolution and improved tonality over every other optical cable we’ve tried!? Cinnamon Optilink preserves TosLink's great strengths of vanishingly low noise and zero mechanical noise, but offers something other TosLink cables can't... dynamic range!? Compared to standard TosLink cables, the Optilink is a revelation, with surprising transient performance and excellent dynamic gradations. Optilink even outperforms similarly priced coaxial digital cables, with a smoother, more natural tonal palette and surprisingly deep black backgrounds. Often maligned as a low-performance digital interface, Toslink actually offers state-of-the-art optical S/PDIF resolution. Additionally, Toslink provides several key advantages, such as galvanic isolation and electrical isolation. And Toslink prevents introduction of RF interference over cable. The primary source of distortion in a fiber-optic cable is corruption of timing information. Imperfections in the optical fiber scatter the light information, leading to sound with less clarity and a need for more error correction. The superior fiber and finely polished optical interface of AudioQuest fiber-optic cable avoids these problems.

Perfect-Surface Copper conductors AudioQuest's Noise-Dissipation System Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation Double-Balanced Asymmetrical Geometry Gold-Plated Plugs AudioQuest 's Golden Gate interconnects feature Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) conductors and gold-plated RCA plugs for a marked sonic improvement over standard mini cables. PSC lowers distortion to levels even further than AudioQuest 's Evergreen cables. The Noise-Dissipation System ensures that RFI noise is a thing of the past, while Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation keeps Golden Gate 's sound focused and sharp. Perfect-Surface Copper has an astonishingly smooth and pure surface. Proprietary metal-processing technology protects the wire’s 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. 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. 100% shield coverage is easy.

Audioquest Evergreen Audio Interconnect 8m (26'3") RCA to RCA
The Evergreen Point Floating Bridge connects Seattle, Washington (USA) to the Bellevue area across Lake Washington. Since opening in 1963, its 2,285 meters (7,497 ft) makes it the longest floating bridge in the world. The structure includes 33 pre-stressed concrete pontoons averaging 110 meters (360 ft) long and 18 meters (60 ft) wide. SOLID LONG-GRAIN COPPER (LGC) CONDUCTORS: 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. 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).

Preventing captured Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from modulating the equipment's ground reference requires AQ's Noise-Dissipation System (NDS). Traditional shield systems typically absorb and then drain noise/RF energy to component ground modulating and distorting the critical "reference" ground plane which in turn causes a distortion of the signal. NDS's alternating layers of metal and carbon-loaded synthetics "shield the shield" absorbing and reflecting most of this noise/RF energy before it reaches the layer attached to ground.

For many applications, the speed of digital communication is important. Most visibly, "speed" is about transferring large files as quickly as possible, or carrying enough data for HD video. For Digital Coax audio "speed" is critical not because of how-much how-fast, but because time relationships within a digital stream are critical to the reconstruction of the analog waveform that brings information, music and joy to our ears. Time-based damage (jitter) to this information within the data package makes the sound small and flat instead of 3D, harsh and foggy instead of smooth and clear.

The Boxer breed originated in Germany in the late 19th century and was brought to the US after World War I. Today, Boxers are a part of the AKC’s Working Dog Group. Don’t be fooled by that “worried” look on a Boxer’s face. Boxers are known for their fun-loving, genial, and at times downright clown-like demeanor, as well as their remarkable rapport with children. However, Boxers are equally known for courage in the face of danger, or threat to family or loved ones. The Boxer’s innate intelligence, combined with its natural strength of stature, makes it a breed beloved by many. SOLID 1.25 % SILVER CONDUCTORS: Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Solid silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high-frequency applications. These signals, being such a high frequency, travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor. As the surface is made of high-purity silver, the performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable, but priced much closer to solid copper cable. This is an incredibly cost effective way of manufacturing very high-quality subwoofer cables. POLYETHYLENE AIR-TUBE 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. All of Boxer’s conductors use PE Air-Tube Insulation because air absorbs next to no energy, and Polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile. PE Air-Tube Insulation causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials. CARBON-BASED 3-LAYER NOISE-DISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS): 100% shield coverage is easy. Preventing captured RF Interference from modulating the equipment’s ground reference requires AQ’s Noise-Dissipation System.

Greyhounds rarely bark, are very patient, show great devotion and affection toward their families, and exhibit a surprisingly friendly attitude toward people and other dogs. But don’t be misled by their distinctly slim conformation: Greyhounds are in fact exceedingly healthy, powerful animals, and they make loyal, loving companions for people young and old.

AudioQuest Sydney 1.5m RCA to RCA Audio Cables
Bridges and Falls Series – 1.5m Sydney RCA to RCA Audio CablesThe Sydney Harbour Bridge is the tallest and widest steel–arch bridge in the world, and the fifth longest. The “Coathanger” (the bridge’s nickname) is just behind the Sydney Opera House for worldwide recognition as a symbol of Sydney, and as a symbol for all of Australia. An organized ‘Bridge Climb’ is offered many times a day to the top of the bridge, offering a truly exceptional view of Sydney’s amazing harbor from 134 meters (440 ft) above the water.Solid Perfect–Surface Copper+ (PSC+) ConductorsPerfect–Surface Copper+ has an astonishingly smooth and pure surface. Proprietary metal–processing technology protects the wire’s 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 PSC+ conductor. PSC+ is manufactured by applying the same exceptional technology to an ultra–pure copper. The resulting sound quality is even more focused and simply less in the way. For over 30 years AudioQuest has pioneered the use of superior metals; yet even we were surprised by the huge leap in performance made possible with Perfect–Surface Technology. PSC+ simply outperforms all previously available copper metals at any price. All of Sydney’s conductors are solid. 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 Sydney’s very clean sound.Carbon–Based 3–Layer Noise–Dissipation System (NDS)100% shield coverage is easy.

Carbon HDMI adds 5% silver-plating to its predecessors' solid-core conductors. Like all AudioQuest HDMI cables Carbon uses Solid High-Density Polyethylene Insulation and precise geometry. Specific attention has been paid to maximizing the performance of HDMI and indeed AudioQuest's HDMI cables push sonic performance to new levels. Solid 5% Silver Conductors Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Solid silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high-frequency applications like HDMI audio and video. These signals being such a high frequency travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor.

Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Hard-Cell Foam Insulation is similar to the Foamed-PE used in our more affordable Bridges Falls cables and is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets. Because nitrogen (like air) does not absorb energy and therefore does not release any energy from or into the conductor distortion is reduced. In addition the stiffness of the material allows the cable's conductors to maintain a stable relationship along the cable's full length producing a stable impedance character and further minimizing distortion. High-Speed Data Capacity HDMI standards and capabilities have improved significantly since DVI first evolved into HDMI. All generations are backward compatible. However not all previous HDMI cables can transmit the full 18Gbps of data required to optimize todays HDMI 2.0 equipment. While there is currently no 4K/60 4:4: 4 software requiring the full 18Gbps capability of HDMI some sources (UHD Blu-ray players) can be set to up-sample requiring 18Gbps capability. Up-sampling often should be done in the TV rather than in a previous component but thats your decision. AudioQuest HDMI cables with "Exceeds 18 G bps" on the box front are guaranteed to exceed the requirements for all possible HDMI data streams. Carbon-Based 3-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) It's easy to accomplish 100% shield coverage. Preventing captured Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from modulating the equipment's ground reference requires AQ's Noise-Dissipation System (NDS). Traditional shield systems typically absorb and then drain noise/RF energy to component ground modulating and distorting the critical "reference" ground plane which in turn causes a distortion of the signal. NDS's alternating layers of metal and carbon-loaded synthetics "shield the shield" absorbing and reflecting most of this noise/RF energy before it reaches the layer attached to ground.

DieElectric-Bias System with Radio Frequency Trap All insulation between two or more conductors is also a dielectric whose properties will affect the integrity of the signal. When the dielectric is unbiased dielectric-involvement (absorption and non-linear release of energy) causes different amounts of time delay (phase shift) for different frequencies and energy levels which is a real problem for very time-sensitive multi-octave audio. The inclusion of an RF Trap (developed for AudioQuests Niagara Series of power products) ensures that radio frequency noise will not be induced into the signal conductors from the DBS field elements.

AudioQuest Irish Red 3m Subwoofer Cable RCAs
Irish Red The Irish Setter is a distant ancestor of the Spanish Pointer and is actually a mix of the English Setter, the Gordon Setter and the Irish Water Spaniel. Irish Setters are known for their friendly, fun–loving and outgoing temperament. These dogs have a natural love of exploring and enjoy a good game of fetch above all. This trait undoubtedly traces back to the Irish Setter's breeding to be useful to hunters on foot. Irish Setters' intelligence and naturally calm and friendly demeanor make them superbly suitable as therapy or support dogs.

Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Because air absorbs next to no energy and Polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile Foamed-PE with its high air content causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials. High Speed Data Capacity HDMI standards and capabilities have improved significantly since DVI first evolved into HDMI. All generations are backward compatible. However not all previous HDMI cables can transmit the full 18Gbps of data required to optimize todays HDMI 2.0 equipment. While there is currently no 4K/60 4:4: 4 software requiring the full 18Gbps capability of HDMI some sources (UHD Blu-ray players) can be set to up-sample requiring 18Gbps capability. Up-sampling often should be done in the TV rather than in a previous component but thats your decision. AudioQuest HDMI cables with "Exceeds 18 G bps" on the box front are guaranteed to exceed the requirements for all possible HDMI data streams. HDMI Active AudioQuest Pearl Forest and Cinnamon HDMI make use of Active Frequency-Equalization to enable full 18Gbps/4K UltraHD performance from 10 to 15 meters.

Audioquest 72V DBS Battery Pack (Carbon)
AudioQuest's patented Dielectric Bias System (DBS) puts all of a cableandrsquo;s dielectric into a strong stable electrostatic field which saturates (organizes) the molecules of the insulation continuously from the time the cable is terminated. The exceptionally simple design uses a wire down the middle of the cable which is simply an extension of a batteryandrsquo;s anode. This wire is attached to negative (-) of a DBS battery pack and nothing else. It is not in the signal path and has no interaction with the signal. Depending on the model of interconnect (analog or digital) or speaker cable an existing foil andldquo;shieldandrdquo; is used as the DBS anode by connecting it to positive (+) of the DBS battery pack. The negative side of a battery is nothing; itandrsquo;s just an empty reservoir. Again there is no interaction with signal flow and no extra connections are introduced into the signal path.Dielectric-Bias System with Radio Frequency TrapAll insulation between two or more conductors is also a dielectric whose properties will affect the integrity of the signal. When the dielectric is unbiased dielectric-involvement (absorption and non-linear release of energy) causes different amounts of time delay (phase shift) for different frequencies and energy levels which is a real problem for very time-sensitive multi-octave audio. The inclusion of an RF Trap (developed for AudioQuestandrsquo;s Niagara Series of power products) ensures that radio frequency noise will not be induced into the signal conductors from the DBS field elements.What's in the Box:DBS Portable Battery Pack
AudioQuest Cinnamon Active HDMI Cable - 49.21 ft. (15m)
Solid 1.25% Silver Conductors for Improved Digital Performance
Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Solid silver-plated conductors are excellent for very high-frequency applications like HDMI audio and video. These signals being such a high frequency travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor. As the surface is made of high-purity silver the performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable but priced much closer to solid copper cable. This is an incredibly cost effective way of manufacturing very high-quality HDMI cables.
Hard-Cell Foam Insulation
Hard-Cell Foam (HCF) Insulation ensures critical signal-pair geometry. Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Hard-Cell Foam Insulation is similar to the Foamed-PE used in our more affordable Bridges Falls cables and is nitrogen-injected to create air pockets. Because nitrogen (like air) does not absorb energy and therefore does not release any energy from or into the conductor distortion is reduced. In addition the stiffness of the material allows the cable's conductors to maintain a stable relationship along the cable's full length producing a stable impedance character and further minimizing distortion.

AudioQuest HDMI cables with "Exceeds 18 G bps" on the box front are guaranteed to exceed the requirements for all possible HDMI data streams.
Directionality
All drawn metal strands or conductors have a non-symmetrical and therefore directional grain structure. AudioQuest controls the resulting RF impedance variation so that noise is drained away from where it will cause distortion. The correct direction is determined by listening to every batch of metal conductors used in every AudioQuest audio cable. Arrows are clearly marked on the connectors to ensure superior sound quality.

Carbon-Based 3-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS)
It's easy to accomplish 100% shield coverage. Preventing captured Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from modulating the equipment's ground reference requires AQ's Noise-Dissipation System (NDS). Traditional shield systems typically absorb and then drain noise/RF energy to component ground modulating and distorting the critical "reference" ground plane which in turn causes a distortion of the signal. NDS's alternating layers of metal and carbon-loaded synthetics "shield the shield" absorbing and reflecting most of this noise/RF energy before it reaches the layer attached to ground.
