The two big qualities are the conductor quality and dielectric type.
Audioquest golden gate interconnect review.
4 stars instead of 5 because how the big brothers of the line will sound.
Psc lowers distortion to levels even further than audioquest s evergreen cables.
All four models are insulated with foamed polyethylene and are attractive well made and very flexible.
Thanks to all the air in foamed pe it causes much less of the out of focus effect common to other materials.
Big sur uses even higher purity perfect surface copper psc conductors and upgrades the other models gold plated rca plugs to gold plated pure purple copper rca plugs.
Golden gate uses higher purity perfect surface copper psc conductors.
All cables in our bridges falls series place their left and right channels in a single jacket and feature our asymmetrical double balanced geometry with separate high quality positive and negative conductors.
Audioquest s golden gate interconnects feature perfect surface copper psc conductors and gold plated rca plugs for a marked sonic improvement over standard mini cables.
Audioquest cables and other audio products combine solid conductors high purity metals specialized geometries and stable dielectrics to enable naturally beautiful sounds and images.
All four models are insulated with foamed polyethylene and are very attractive and obviously well made.
I have owned many of the different generations of aq interconnects over the last few decades.
Go for psc over psc.
Golden gate 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.
I m very happy with the audioquest golden gate at 55 each they make a huge difference in my system recommended.
The difference is clarity and smoothness of texture.
I ll admit skepticism but have had experiences with lesser cost cables that resulted in significant audio issues and finally decided to give these a try.
Golden gate uses higher purity perfect surface copper psc conductors.
