AudioQuest - Big Sur Interconnect - 3.5MM to 3.5MM - 1.5 Meter Overview

A Landmark in Affordable Quality 'Mini-plug' Interconnects Spanning a creek and a formidable travel-impeding canyon, the Bixby Creek Bridge compliments and counterpoints the majestic beauty of California's spectacular coastline just north of Big Sur, 120 miles south of San Francisco. As an integral part of this stretch of landscape, the bridge has been featured in numerous TV shows and movies, and is seen on travel posters all over the world. AudioQuest's Big Sur cable is destined to become a landmark in affordable analog interconnects for portable devices and other gear that use mini-plugs. It lets the natural beauty of your music and other audio entertainment flow through, thanks to superior engineering and metallurgy. It has Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ Conductors (PSC+), Foamed-Polyethylene insulation, AudioQuest's Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System (NDS) and Double-Balanced Asymmetrical Geometry. Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ Conductors (PSC+) Perfect-Surface Copper+ has an astonishingly smooth and pure surface. Proprietary metal-processing technology protects the wire's surface at every stage of drawing and fabrication. When high-purity low-oxide copper is kept as soft, pure and smooth as possible, it becomes a wonderfully low-distortion PSC+ conductor. The resulting sound quality is even more focused and simply less in the way. PSC+ simply outperforms all previously available copper metals at any price. All of Big Sur's conductors are solid. Electrical and magnetic interaction between strands in a conventional cable is the greatest source of distortion, often causing a somewhat dirty, harsh sound. Solid conductors are fundamental toward achieving Big Sur's very clean sound.
