Audioquest Big Sur Interconnect RCA-RCA

Analog-Audio Interconnect Cable named in honor of the Bixby Creek Bridge and the majestic beauty of California’s spectacular coastline at Big Sur.

Within the Bridges & Falls range, you’ll discover higher-quality metals and more sophisticated technologies, including Air-Tube insulation, Dielectric-Bias System, and Noise-Dissipation System, all at more affordable prices than ever.

Please note: All cables in our Bridges & Falls Series cleverly combine their left and right channels into a single jacket and feature our Asymmetrical Double-Balanced geometry with separate high-quality positive and negative conductors. This design allows for a slim, flexible, and highly versatile high-performance cable that can be equipped with various current connections, including 3.5mm (male or female), DIN, and RCA. However, keep in mind that, by necessity, the plugs on Bridges & Falls cables are quite close together. If the L and R inputs of your components are spaced more than 3 inches (7.6cm) apart, we recommend considering models from our Rivers or Elements Series.

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.

ASYMMETRICAL DOUBLE-BALANCED GEOMETRY
Specially designed for single-ended applications, Asymmetrical Double-Balanced Geometry offers a 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 and quieter performance.

METAL-LAYER NOISE-DISSIPATION
Achieving 100% shield coverage is straightforward. Preventing captured radio-frequency interference (RFI) from modulating the equipment’s ground reference requires AQ’s Noise-Dissipation. Traditional shield systems typically absorb and then drain noise/RF energy to the component ground, modulating and distorting the critical “reference” ground plane, resulting in signal distortion. Noise-Dissipation “shields the shield,” absorbing and reflecting most of this noise/RF energy before it reaches the ground layer.

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 almost no energy and Polyethylene has low-loss properties with a benign distortion profile, Foamed-PE, with its high air content, causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials.
