Everything AudioQuest cares about at higher price points is present here in its simplest form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin:24px 0 8px;\"\u003eSolid Long-Grain Copper for Smoother, Clearer Sound\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eTower uses solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors rather than the stranded, ordinary copper found in most budget cables. Solid conductors eliminate the strand-to-strand interaction that adds a hard, gritty edge, and LGC has fewer oxides, impurities, and grain boundaries than standard OFHC copper. You'll hear a less fatiguing top end and cleaner separation between instruments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4 style=\"margin:24px 0 8px;\"\u003eReal Shielding at an Entry-Level Price\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eA cable running near laptops, chargers, and Wi-Fi gear picks up airborne noise. Tower's Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System absorbs and reflects most RFI before it reaches the layer connected to ground, so that hash isn't dumped into your amplifier's ground reference. Foamed-polyethylene insulation adds to the effect — its high air content absorbs very little energy, so less of the signal comes back as smear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eIf you want to step up from here, AudioQuest's Golden Gate moves to higher-purity Perfect-Surface Copper in the same configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin:32px 0 8px;\"\u003eIs This Right for You?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eA quick check before you add it to your cart:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYou're feeding a stereo system from a mini-jack source.\u003c\/strong\u003e Phone, laptop, tablet, portable player, or a small DAC with a 3.5mm output going into RCA line inputs — that's exactly what this cable does.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo meters covers a desk or short rack run.\u003c\/strong\u003e It's enough to reach across a desktop or from a shelf to an amp without excess to coil up.

If you're using a headphone output as the source, start with the device volume low and bring it up gradually to find a clean level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eThe cold-welded, gold-plated plugs seat firmly; push straight on rather than twisting.
