AudioQuest Evergreen, Stereo 3.5-Millimeter Headphone to RCA Male Cable

AudioQuest believes good cable design is all about damage control. In AQ's view, the perfect cable would be one that adds nothing — no noise, no distortion — to the original signal. Even AudioQuest's affordable Evergreen cables embody this philosophy. They bring together some of AQ's most advanced designs and materials, for excellent sound quality from a cable that's relatively thin and lightweight.

• SOLID LONG-GRAIN COPPER (LGC) CONDUCTORS
• Double-Balanced Asymmetrical Geometry
• Gold-Plated Plugs
• Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS)
• Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation

This is the evergreen 3.5-millimeter to RCA audio interconnect cable.

Solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion. Evergreens solid Long-Grain Copper allows a smoother and clearer sound than cables using regular OFHC (Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity) copper. LGC has fewer oxides within the conducting material less impurities less grain boundaries and definitively better performance. Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit.

Evergreen 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.

Metal-layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) prevents captured RF Interference from modulating the equipment’s ground reference. It prevents a significant amount of RFI from reaching the equipment’s ground plane.

Purpose designed for single-ended applications, Asymmetrical Double-Balanced Geometry offers a relatively lower impedance on the ground for a richer and more dynamic experience.
