AudioQuest Black Beauty RCA to RCA Cable
Part of the Mythical Horses series, this Black Beauty RCA interconnect cable features several AudioQuest design elements that work together to reduce distortion and efficiently dissipate radio-frequency noise. These include: Direction-Controlled Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors, Carbon/Graphene Mesh-Network, 0.5% Silver-Plated RF Drain-Wires, Copper-Plated Plug Casings, and Hanging-Silver over Red-Copper plugs.
Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) Conductors: Solid conductors prevent electrical and magnetic strand-interaction. PSC+ Solid-Copper minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries and maximizes linear RF Noise-Dissipation.
Level 6 Noise-Dissipation: Radio-Frequency Noise from cellular, Wi-Fi, and satellites is everywhere. AQ's Level 6 Linear Noise-Dissipation includes a carbon & graphene resistive mesh-network, direction-controlled conductors, and Silver-Plated drain wires, significantly minimizing RF Noise masking effects.
ZERO-Tech for Linear, Wide-Bandwidth Noise-Dissipation: The only way to avoid characteristic-impedance mismatch-effects between a cable and its attached source and load circuits is to prevent the cable from having a characteristic-impedance. ZERO-Tech succeeds by eliminating the electrostatic field between the cable's high and low signal conductors, enabling linear (consistent octave to octave) Radio-Frequency (RF) Noise-Dissipation, and uncompressed transients.
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. 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.
Copper-Plated RF-Draining Barrels: Grounded Copper-Plated Barrels maximize Noise-Dissipation by preventing a metal barrel from capacitively coupling RF to the conductors.
Hanging-Silver over Red Copper Plugs: AudioQuest's finest plugs feature superior Hanging-Silver (not tumbled) directly over extreme-purity Red Copper to ensure uncompromised signal transfer.
Our Take On The AudioQuest Black Beauty
The AudioQuest Black Beauty RCA to RCA cable incorporates advanced design elements aimed at reducing distortion and effectively dissipating radio-frequency noise. It utilises Direction-Controlled Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors to minimise grain boundary distortion, ensuring linear RF noise dissipation. With Level 6 Noise-Dissipation technology, the cable combats RF interference from sources like cellular and Wi-Fi signals through a carbon and graphene mesh network and Silver-Plated RF drain wires. The ZERO-Tech design eliminates impedance mismatch effects, resulting in uncompressed transients and consistent noise dissipation across frequencies. Additionally, the cable features Foamed Polyethylene insulation to reduce energy absorption and distortion, along with Copper-Plated barrels and Hanging-Silver over Red Copper plugs for optimal signal transfer and noise control. This cable is not cheap but in the right system it is worth every penny.
