AudioQuest NRG-Z3 Low-Distortion 3-Pole AC Power Cable - 3.28' (1m)
Ideal for video displays, powered speakers, and all electronics, NRG-Z3 (3-pole) cables use direction-controlled Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) conductors in a Semi-Solid Concentric arrangement in which the individual copper strands are packed more tightly and never change position within the bundle. This construction significantly reduces strand interaction distortion. The astonishingly smooth and pure Perfect-Surface conductors minimize distortion caused by grain boundaries and surface discontinuities that exist in any metal conductor. In addition, NRG-Z3's direction-controlled silver-plated shield conductors efficiently drain RF noise to ground.

SILVER-PLATED DRAIN WIRES Direction-controlled Silver-Plated shield conductors efficiently drain RF noise from the line and neutral shields to ground via the third “ground” pin. The net result is powerful, dynamic, and immersive. ZERO CHARACTERISTIC IMPEDANCE While many AC power cables feature low DC resistance in order to accommodate the demand for high current, a cable’s characteristic impedance is also crucial for optimal performance. Unlike most AC cables that constrict or compress an audio-provoked transient, AudioQuest AC cables combine low DC resistance and zero (no) characteristic impedance in order to deliver uncompressed transients on demand.

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.

AudioQuest Pearl OptiLink 1.5m (4.92 ft.) Optical Audio Cable
The audio frontier is all abuzz these days with the pleasure possible though HDMI USB FireWire and Ethernet connections. However these current generation digital technologies are only part of the story just as the challenge of designing manufacturing and choosing the best analog interconnects and speaker cables is as important as ever. The S/P-DIF (Sony Philips Digital InterFace) which arrived in 1983 along with the CD is still very much a part of our world today. S/P-DIF is transmitted through Digital Coax and Toslink fiber optics (EIA-J) making them still some of the most important cables in electronic entertainment. While thanks to HDMI Toslink is not so often used to connect a DVD player to an A/V receiver Toslink connectors are common on cable-boxes TV sets subwoofers all sorts of products. And now the 3.5 mm Mini Optical connector also somewhat incorrectly known as Mini-Toslink is everywhere from the 3.5 mm dual-purpose headphone jack on a Mac laptop to inputs on some of the finest portables. For these many reasons AudioQuest has refined and renewed our line of serious high performance OptiLink cables. All models and all lengths are now available Toslink to Toslink and Toslink to 3.5 mm Mini Optical. When the question is how can a fiber-optic cable change the sound? the answer is easier to explain than for almost any other type of cable. If the light source were a coherent laser firing into a vacuum all the light would stay straight arriving at its destination at the same time. Even if the LED light source in a Toslink system were coherent the light entering a fiber-optic cable is scattered and dispersed by imperfections and impurities in the fiber. This can be measured as a loss of amplitude but amplitude is not the problem a 50% true loss would have no effect on sound quality. The problem is that the dispersed light does get through the cable but only after it has taken a longer path like a pool ball bouncing off the side-rails causing it to arrive later. This delayed part of the signal prevents the computer charged with decoding this information from being able to decode properly or even at all. The inability to decode shows first at higher frequencies (not audio frequencies this is a mono stream of digital audio information) so reduced bandwidth is a measurable signature of light being dispersed by a fiber. The punch line: The less dispersion in the fiber the less distortion in the final analog audio signal presented to our ears. There is another serious dispersal mechanism in the Toslink system. The fiber is a relatively huge 1.0 mm in diameter and the LED light source is also relatively large spraying light into the fiber at many different angles. Even if the fiber were absolutely perfect the signal would be spread across time because light rays entering at different angles take different length paths and arrives with different amounts of delay.
AudioQuest Big Sur 3.5mm to 3.5mm Audio Interconnect Cable - 3.28ft. (1m)
Spanning a creek and a formidable travel-impeding canyon, the Bixby Creek Bridge compliments and counterpoints the majestic beauty of California’s spectacular coastline just north of Big Sur, 190km (120 miles) south of San Francisco. As an integral part of this stretch of landscape, the bridge has been featured in numerous TV shows and movies, and is seen on travel posters all over the world SOLID PERFECT-SURFACE COPPER+ (PSC+) CONDUCTORS: 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 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 Big Sur’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 Big Sur’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. Big Sur 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.

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. 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 Black Lab RCA Male to RCA Male Subwoofer Cable - 39.37 ft. (12m)
Black Lab Contrary to their name Black Labs heritage actually traces back to Newfoundland in the 1700s when they were first known as Saint Johns Dogs. When this large Newfoundland-based breed was mixed with smaller water dogs the result is the dog now known as the Labrador. Labradors (Black or otherwise) are known for their dedication to duty their highly developed sense of smell and hearing and their endless capacity for playing fetch (they are retrievers after all! ). These traits combine to make Labradors excellent service dogs for the handicapped as well as wonderful pets.

AudioQuest Forest Toslink Fiber Optic Digital Audio Cable - 4.92 ft. (1.5m)
The audio frontier is all abuzz these days with the pleasure possible though HDMI USB FireWire® and Ethernet connections. However these current generation digital technologies are only part of the story just as the challenge of designing manufacturing and choosing the best analog interconnects and speaker cables is as important as ever. S/P-DIF is transmitted through Digital Coax and Toslink fiber optics (EIA-J) making them still some of the most important cables in electronic entertainment. While thanks to HDMI Toslink is not so often used to connect a DVD player to an A/V receiver Toslink connectors are common on cable-boxes TV sets subwoofers all sorts of products. For these many reasons AudioQuest has refined and renewed our line of serious high performance OptiLink cables. When the question is “how can a fiber-optic cable change the sound? ” … the answer is easier to explain than for almost any other type of cable. If the light source were a coherent laser firing into a vacuum all the light would stay straight arriving at its destination at the same time. Even if the LED light source in a Toslink system were coherent the light entering a fiber-optic cable is scattered and dispersed by imperfections and impurities in the fiber. This can be measured as a loss of amplitude … but amplitude is not the problem a 50% true loss would have no effect on sound quality. The problem is that the dispersed light does get through the cable but only after it has taken a longer path like a pool ball bouncing off the side-rails causing it to arrive later. This delayed part of the signal prevents the computer charged with decoding this information from being able to decode properly or even at all. The inability to decode shows first at higher frequencies (not audio frequencies this is a mono stream of digital audio information) so reduced bandwidth is a measurable signature of light being dispersed by a fiber. The punch line: The less dispersion in the fiber the less distortion in the final analog audio signal presented to our ears. There is another serious dispersal mechanism in the Toslink system. The fiber is a relatively huge 1.0 mm in diameter and the LED light source is also relatively large spraying light into the fiber at many different angles. Even if the fiber were absolutely perfect the signal would be spread across time because light rays entering at different angles take different length paths and arrives with different amounts of delay. The almost complete solution to this problem is to use hundreds of much smaller fibers in a 1.0 mm bundle. Because each fiber is limited as to what angle of input can enter the fiber there is far less variety and far less dispersion over time. This narrow-aperture effect is similar to how a pin-hole camera can take a picture without a lens … by letting in light at only a very limited range of angles a picture can be taken whereas removing the lens from a wider aperture would make photography impossible. Less light gets through a multi-fiber cable but the light that does get into the fibers comes out within in a much smaller time-envelope. So there is one problem the dispersion of light across time … and two avenues towards a better result: less dispersion in the fiber (better polymers and ultimately quartz) and less dispersion by filtering the input angle. How simple is that! Listen and enjoy.

AudioQuest Sydney 1.5m RCA to RCA Analog Audio Interconnect Cable
The 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+) CONDUCTORS: 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 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.
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 Sydney’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.

ASYMMETRICAL DOUBLE-BALANCED GEOMETRY: Purpose designed for single-ended applications Asymmetrical Double-Balanced Geometry offers relatively lower impedance on the ground for a richer and more dynamic experience. While many single-ended cable designs use a single path for both the ground and the shield Double-Balanced designs separate the two for cleaner quieter performance.
COLD-WELDED DIRECT-SILVER PLATED PURE PURPLE COPPER RCA PLUGS: This plug design allows for a connection devoid of solder which is a common source of distortion. Because the ground shells are stamped instead of machined the metal can be chosen for low distortion instead of machinability. Purple Copper offers a cleaner clearer sound over nickel-plated or OFHC metals commonly found in competing manufacturers’ plugs. Direct-Silver Plating offers one more important step toward greater clarity and doing no harm to the signal.

And now the 3.5 mm Mini Optical connector also somewhat incorrectly known as Mini-Toslink is everywhere from the 3.5 mm dual-purpose headphone jack on a Mac laptop to inputs on some of the finest portables. For these many reasons AudioQuest has refined and renewed our line of serious high performance OptiLink cables. All models and all lengths are now available Toslink to Toslink and Toslink to 3.5 mm Mini Optical. When the question is how can a fiber-optic cable change the sound? the answer is easier to explain than for almost any other type of cable. If the light source were a coherent laser firing into a vacuum all the light would stay straight arriving at its destination at the same time. Even if the LED light source in a Toslink system were coherent the light entering a fiber-optic cable is scattered and dispersed by imperfections and impurities in the fiber. This can be measured as a loss of amplitude but amplitude is not the problem a 50% true loss would have no effect on sound quality. The problem is that the dispersed light does get through the cable but only after it has taken a longer path like a pool ball bouncing off the side-rails causing it to arrive later. This delayed part of the signal prevents the computer charged with decoding this information from being able to decode properly or even at all. The inability to decode shows first at higher frequencies (not audio frequencies this is a mono stream of digital audio information) so reduced bandwidth is a measurable signature of light being dispersed by a fiber. The punch line: The less dispersion in the fiber the less distortion in the final analog audio signal presented to our ears. There is another serious dispersal mechanism in the Toslink system. The fiber is a relatively huge 1.0 mm in diameter and the LED light source is also relatively large spraying light into the fiber at many different angles. Even if the fiber were absolutely perfect the signal would be spread across time because light rays entering at different angles take different length paths and arrives with different amounts of delay.
AudioQuest Cinnamon Toslink Fiber Optic Digital Audio Cable - 4.92 ft. (1.5m)
AudioQuest Cinnamon OptiLink Fiber Optic Digital Audio Cable The audio frontier is all abuzz these days with the pleasure possible though HDMI USB FireWire? and Ethernet connections. However these current generation digital technologies are only part of the story just as the challenge of designing manufacturing and choosing the best analog interconnects and speaker cables is as important as ever. The S/P-DIF (Sony? Philips Digital InterFace) which arrived in 1983 along with the CD is still very much a part of our world today. S/P-DIF is transmitted through Digital Coax and Toslink fiber optics (EIA-J) making them still some of the most important cables in electronic entertainment.

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 Black Lab RCA Male to RCA Male Subwoofer Cable - 26.25 ft. (8m)
Contrary to their name Black Labs heritage actually traces back to Newfoundland in the 1700s when they were first known as Saint Johns Dogs. When this large Newfoundland-based breed was mixed with smaller water dogs the result is the dog now known as the Labrador. Labradors (Black or otherwise) are known for their dedication to duty their highly developed sense of smell and hearing and their endless capacity for playing fetch (they are retrievers after all! ). These traits combine to make Labradors excellent service dogs for the handicapped as well as wonderful pets. SOLID LONG-GRAIN COPPER (LGC) CONDUCTORS: Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion. Black Labs 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). Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Black Lab 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. Preventing captured RF Interference from modulating the equipments ground reference requires AQs Noise-Dissipation System. Noise-Dissipation System prevents a significant amount of RFI from reaching the equipments ground plane. SYMMETRICAL COAX GEOMETRY: Identical + and conductors prevent the shield being used as an inferior audio conductor. COLD-WELDED GOLD-PLATED PLUGS: This plug design allows for a connection devoid of solder which is a common source of distortion. Because the ground shells are stamped instead of machined the metal can be chosen for low distortion instead of machinability. GROUNDING: Sometimes there is a hum problem unless the subwoofer and AV receiver (or surround-sound processor) are attached to each other using a separate wire. If your system has a hum problem try attaching the little spade-lug tails to the metal chassis of the subwoofer amplifier and to the chassis of the sending component. Usually this extra wire will not be needed.
AudioQuest Vodka 1.5m HDMI Cable
Vodka HDMI adds 10% silver-plating to its predecessors' solid-core conductors. Like all AudioQuest HDMI cables Vodka 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 10% 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. 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.
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.

AudioQuest - Cinnamon - Digital Coax Cable - .75 Meter
Solid 1.25 % Silver Conductors Hard-Cell Foam Insulation 100% Shield Coverage (Foil + Silver-Plated Braid) Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) Cold-Welded, Gold-Plated Terminations AudioQuest Cinnamon Digital Coax Cable AudioQuest Digital Coax cables are designed to minimize distortion across an extremely wide bandwidth. 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. 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 digital coax cables. 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 full length of the cable, thus ensuring that the characteristic impedance of the cable is consistent. 100% Shield Coverage (Foil + Silver-Plated Braid) Shielding always plays an important role in any cable design, but the shield on coa
AudioQuest HDMI 90-Degree Narrow Side Adapter

AudioQuest NRG-Y2 Low-Distortion 2-Pole AC Power Cable - 6.56' (2m)
NRG-Y2 NRG-Y3 NRG-Z2 and NRG-Z3 AC cables take advantage of the same get-out-of-the-way and Noise-Dissipation technologies as the NRG Storm Series of AC cables. All these models feature Zero Characteristic Impedance for Uncompressed Current Transfer: A non-technical analogy for this might be that if you drop a coin in a tube with shampoo in it no matter how wide (low resistance) that tube the shampoo (the Characteristic Impedance) is going to get in the way (compromise current transients). Eliminating Characteristic Impedance (Zero means No in this application) is like having only air in the tube as close to a vacuum as possible. Whether the amp is running at less than a watt or is fully maxed out the unrestricted transients are visceral something the whole body understands no words required. NRG-Y2 and NRG-Y3 AC cables use Long-Grain-Copper (LGC) in a 7-strand Semi-Solid Concentric arrangement in which the strands never change position within the bundle. This technique significantly reduces strand-interaction distortion. The higher purity and fewer grains within LGC copper further reduce distortion. All the new models also feature Direction-Controlled Conductors Silver-Plated Shield Drains: All drawn metal has a non-symmetrical and therefore directional grain structure. AudioQuest controls the resulting RF impedance variation so that noise drains away from where it will cause distortion. The Silver-Plated shield drains efficiently remove RF noise from the line and neutral shields via the wall plugs ground pin which is why even the 2-Pole 2 models have an unexpected ground pin.

AudioQuest Forest Toslink Fiber Optic Digital Audio Cable - 2.46 ft. (.75m)
The audio frontier is all abuzz these days with the pleasure possible though HDMI USB FireWire® and Ethernet connections. However these current generation digital technologies are only part of the story just as the challenge of designing manufacturing and choosing the best analog interconnects and speaker cables is as important as ever. S/P-DIF is transmitted through Digital Coax and Toslink fiber optics (EIA-J) making them still some of the most important cables in electronic entertainment.

When the question is “how can a fiber-optic cable change the sound? ” … the answer is easier to explain than for almost any other type of cable. If the light source were a coherent laser firing into a vacuum all the light would stay straight arriving at its destination at the same time.

The fiber is a relatively huge 1.0 mm in diameter and the LED light source is also relatively large spraying light into the fiber at many different angles. Even if the fiber were absolutely perfect the signal would be spread across time because light rays entering at different angles take different length paths and arrives with different amounts of delay. The almost complete solution to this problem is to use hundreds of much smaller fibers in a 1.0 mm bundle. Because each fiber is limited as to what angle of input can enter the fiber there is far less variety and far less dispersion over time. This narrow-aperture effect is similar to how a pin-hole camera can take a picture without a lens … by letting in light at only a very limited range of angles a picture can be taken whereas removing the lens from a wider aperture would make photography impossible. Less light gets through a multi-fiber cable but the light that does get into the fibers comes out within in a much smaller time-envelope. So there is one problem the dispersion of light across time … and two avenues towards a better result: less dispersion in the fiber (better polymers and ultimately quartz) and less dispersion by filtering the input angle. How simple is that! Listen and enjoy.
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.
