AUDIOQUEST ANGEL 2RCA Analog Audio Interconnect Cable

Analog-Audio Interconnect Cable

AUDIOQUEST ANGEL is an analog-audio interconnect cable that features superior metals and more sophisticated technologies, including air-tube insulation, a dielectric bias system, and a noise dissipation system.
All Bridges & Falls series cables place the left and right channels in a single jacket and feature an asymmetrical double-balanced geometry with separate high-quality positive and negative conductors. This design allows for a thin, flexible, and versatile high-performance cable that can be terminated with a variety of today's connections, including 3.5mm (male or female), DIN, and RCA.
Designed for single-ended applications, the asymmetrical double-balanced geometry provides a relatively lower ground impedance for a richer and more dynamic experience. While many single-ended cable designs use a single path for both grounding and shielding, double-balanced designs separate the two for cleaner and quieter performance.
To prevent captured radio frequency interference (RFI) from modulating the equipment's ground reference, AQ's noise dissipation is necessary. Traditional shielding systems typically absorb and then drain noise/RF energy to the component ground, modulating and distorting the critical "reference" ground plane, which in turn causes signal distortion. Noise dissipation "shields the shield," absorbing and reflecting most of this noise/RF energy before it reaches the ground-attached layer.
AUDIOQUEST ANGEL features cold-welded, direct silver-plated pure red copper terminations. Direct silver plating is optimized for sound. It appears dull because there is no underlying layer of shiny nickel that causes distortion.
AUDIOQUEST ANGEL features solid-surface silver (PSS) conductors that prevent electrical and magnetic wire interaction. PSS Solid-Silver minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries and maximizes linear RF noise dissipation.
The dielectric-BIAS system with an RF trap (developed for AudioQuest's Niagara series of power products) ensures that radio frequency noise is not induced into the signal conductors by the DBS field elements. (DBS, US patents No. 7,126,055 and 7,872,195 B1).
The positive conductors benefit from almost no contact between the metal and its FEP insulation, which is distinguished by its superior dielectric constant and minimal signal interference. The negative conductors benefit from intentional "lossy insulation": no air and no FEP help maximize the different work of the negative connection.
