AudioQuest: Invest in the best |
|
| Distortion affects every cable in your home theater system, including your AC cords. So what makes AudioQuest cables and cords superior to any other? AudioQuest cables are babied. They're coddled. Each cable's hand is held from its conception in Bill Low's head until it is carefully swaddled in product packaging and shipped off to your home. |

Get your recommended daily intake |
|
| AudioQuest recommends six to eleven servings of wholesome sound per day. And that shouldn't be hard considering AudioQuest's Long-Grain Copper (LGC) provides better performance than regular Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity (OFHC) copper. OFHC is a general metal industry specification regarding "loss," without any concern for distortion. LGC has fewer oxides within the conducting material, less impurities, less grain boundaries, and definitively better performance. |

A design for those who refuse to compromise |
|
| The NRG2 LGC conductors are arranged in a self-shielding Counter-Spiral Hyperlitz. In the inner circle of the counter spiral are three 19-gauge LGC conductors. Surrounding this inner circle are ten 21-gauge LGC conductors. This precisely crafted Counter-Spiral geometry minimizes conductor interaction (distortion) while maintaining a fixed low-inductance relationship between conductors. The result is a superior home theater experience. |

Putting an end to frequency interference (times two) |
|
| There is a whole category of energy referred to as RFI (Radio Frequency Interference). When RFI gets into your equipment it compromises the circuit's performance, and therefore compromises the sound or picture quality. AudioQuest puts an end to RF interference by placing not just one, but two, RF stoppers on the NRG2 cable. The RF stoppers reduce RFI in the cable by disrupting the radio frequency components of the magnetic field outside of the cable. For a current to travel within a cable, there must be an associated magnetic field on the outside. By altering the magnetic field, an RF stopper is able to filter the current inside the cable even though nothing has been inserted into the cable. This means no extra connections or electronic parts with their own distortion problems. |

Damage control—let's compare apples. . . |
|
| It's important to know that an audio or video signal cannot be improved upon—it's as good as it's going to get once it leaves your amp, DVD player, whatever component you're running. So why bother with a high-end cable? Simple: the signal can't be improved, but it can be damaged. Significantly. A lesser-quality cable leaves your signal wide-open to instabilities. A lesser-quality cable is constructed of bundled, twisted strands of conductive material—up to 200 to 2000 strands per bundle. And as the signal wants to travel the path of least resistance (down the outside of the bundle), all those twisted strands inhibit the signal. They draw the signal from the outside of the bundle to the inside, where it fights to get back to the outside again. What's the result? Distortion. Lost data. Poor sound quality. |

. . .to oranges |
|
| AudioQuest, on the other hand, engineers their cables with the highest quality, perfectly gauged solid-core, copper and silver conductors. And each conductor strand is slowly and precisely loomed, not twisted, into the final cable bundle—and it's important to note that the maximum amount of strands AudioQuest has used in their longest cable, for flexibility requirements, is 32 (that's a few less than 200, and a lot less than 2000). Once they have constructed the conductor, AudioQuest wraps it in the dielectric (a fancy word for the insulating material) to keep the cable at peak performance levels at all times by absorbing as little energy as possible in order to avoid the reintroduction of energy (distortion) back into the conductor. |
|
The bottom line |
|
| What AudioQuest is doing is engineering cables with conductors that have all the proper attributes, for decreased distortion. They've arranged the conductors so the signal travels down a straight path, for decreased distortion. They've wrapped the conductor metal in a non-conductive material, to decrease distortion. The result is an astonishingly pure, very stable signal. Starting to make sense? AudioQuest loathes distortion. You'll love AudioQuest. |
