Audioquest Black Beauty Interconnect
A Perfect Surface Copper+ cable with Zero-Tech, 0.5% silver-plated drain wires, and copper-plated plugs.
This is an extremely complex cable, featuring several of AudioQuest's acclaimed design elements that work together to reduce distortion and efficiently dissipate radio-frequency noise. These include: direction-controlled Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors, the carbon/graphene mesh network, 0.5% silver-plated RF drain-wires, copper-plated plug casings, and hanging-silver over red-copper plugs.
Zero-Tech
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 Core Conductors
Electrical and magnetic strand-interaction in a conventional cable is the main source of distortion, as it usually produces a rather rough and blurry sound. Solid core conductors used by Audioquest overcome this problem. They play a key role in providing clean and distortion-free reproduction.
Superior Dialectric
As electrons are conducted along a cable, some "stick" to the plastic insulation, causing an energy loss and a loss of musical information. Air is the best best dialectric, but practically impossible to realize in a cable. The Audioquest Black Beauty cable uses foamed-polyethylene insulation. Foamed-PE, with its high air content, causes much less adverse effects to reproduction than standard insulators.
