AudioQuest Black Beauty

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. Solid conductors prevent electrical and magnetic strand-interaction. PSC+ Solid-Copper minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries and maximizes linear RF Noise-Dissipation. All drawn metal has a directional grain structure. AQ controls the resulting variation in induced RF conductivity to facilitate RF-Noise dissipation. Please be sure to use cables with arrows pointing in direction of signal flow. Radio Frequency Noise from cellular, WiFi and satellites is everywhere. AQ’s Level 6 Linear Noise-Dissipation includes ZERO-Tech, a carbon & graphene resistive mesh-network, direction-controlled conductors and Silver-Plated drain wires, significantly minimizing RF Noise masking effects. Insulation is also an energy-absorbing dielectric. Foamed-Polyethylene minimizes perceived compression and irritation due to this interaction. Superior Hanging (not-tumbled) Silver directly over extreme-purity Red-Copper plugs. RF-Draining Copper-Plated barrels maximize Noise-Dissipation by minimizing RF Noise capacitively coupling to the signal conductors. Price is for a 0.6m length , add $300 per /M. XLR version also available for $1595 in a 0.6m , add $500 per /M .
