Connect a wide range of audio electronics with this Audioquest Sydney Phono Pair analogue interconnect, for outstanding flexibility and versatility. Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors minimize distortion, Polyethylene Air-Tube insulation preserves dynamic contrasts, and Carbon-Based Noise Dissipation efficiently dissipates high-frequency noise for cleaner, clearer, more naturally beautiful music.
Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) Conductors
Solid conductors prevent electrical and magnetic strand-interaction. PSC+ Solid-Copper minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries and maximizes linear RF Noise-Dissipation in the Sydney Phono Pair.
Carbon-Based 3-Layer Noise-Dissipation
It’s easy to accomplish 100% shield coverage. Preventing captured Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from modulating the equipment’s ground reference requires AQ’s Noise-Dissipation System (NDS). Traditional shield systems typically absorb and then drain noise/RF energy to component ground, modulating and distorting the critical “reference” ground plane, distorting the signal.
NDS’s alternating layers of metal and carbon-loaded synthetics “shield the shield,” absorbing and reflecting most of this noise/RF energy from the Sydney Phono Pair before it reaches the layer attached to ground.
Polyethylene Air-Tube Insulation
Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. AudioQuest, however, uses Polyethylene Air-Tube Insulation on both conductors of the Sydney Phono, for increased geometry stabilization and improved clarity.
Because air absorbs next to no energy and Polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile, Polyethylene Air-Tube Insulation, with its high air content, causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials.
Asymmetrical Double-Balanced Geometry
Purpose designed for single-ended applications, Asymmetrical Double-Balanced Geometry offers a relatively lower impedance on the ground. This creates a richer and more dynamic experience. While many single-ended cable designs use a single path for both the ground and the shield, Double-Balanced designs separate the two for cleaner, quieter performance.
Cold-Welded, Direct-Silver Plated Pure Purple Copper Terminations
Optimized for sound, the Sydney Phono Pair uses Direct-Silver Plating with no underlying layer of distortion-causing nickel, while the highly effective cold-weld process avoids sound-degrading solder.
