EverGreen SOLID LONG-GRAIN COPPER CONDUCTORS (LGC): Solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion. Evergreen's solid Long-Grain Copper allows a smoother and clearer sound than cables using regular OFHC (Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity) 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. FOAMED-POLYETHYLENE INSULATION: Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Evergreen uses air-filled Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation on both conductors because air absorbs next to no energy and Polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile. Thanks to all the air in Foamed-PE, it causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials. METAL-LAYER NOISE-DISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS): 100% shield coverage is easy. Preventing captured RF Interference from modulating the equipment’s ground reference requires AQ’s Noise-Dissipation System. Noise-Dissipation System prevents a significant amount of RFI from reaching the equipment’s ground plane. DOUBLE-BALANCED ASYMMETRICAL GEOMETRY: Purpose designed for single-ended applications, Double-Balanced Asymmetrical Geometry offers a relatively lower impedance on the ground for 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 GOLD-PLATED RCA PLUGS: This plug design allows for a connection devoid of solder, which is a common source of distortion. Because the ground shells are stamped instead of machined, the metal can be chosen for low distortion instead of machinability.

Had to return first delivery because of poor connection on one of the phonos
Used to connect an Astell&Kern KANN player to a Quad pre-amp. Sound very good, a great improvement over the cheaper cables. The first cables sent had a dodgy connection on the right channel phono which was confirmed by connection to another amp. The replacement arrived today and do not seem to have the same problem. It does, however, raise the question of quality control and makes me wonder if the soldering is not as good as you would expect at this price point. But there is very little choice in this type of two RCA to 3.5 jack so for sound quality it may be the only option.

Don't bother with the other cheapo leads
Very impressed with these - i'd avoid all those cheapo leads you find on Amazon with all their interesting brand names. I've bought those cheap leads and most of the time you are disappointed sadly.With AudioQuest Evergreen these should last a lifetime - I prefer these to the QED performance leads as these are a bit more stiffer and probably harder wearing but the QED ones are more flexible. So at the end of the day you get what you pay for - why pay more (or less) and get leads that are very good in my opinion.

Good quality good value
I am impressed with audiocrest product range regarding cables , I've purchased a number of different ones all around this price range , there are so many makes of cables it's hard to understand it all , reading Amazon reviews helped me decide

High quality
Arrived right on time at a great price. Big box for a little cable but well protected. This is for a Chromecast Audio device but I use AudioQuest Cables a lot in my system because they are very well made and, so far, never given any bother!

Very nice looks and quality sound reproduction.
Considering that this is just a cable, it has a real quality feel to it and looks fantastic. It operates and fits perfectly - wish now that I'd gone for a slightly longer one (I got the 600mm one) but otherwise can whole heartedly recommend.

Five Stars
excellent quality cable. I wish it was just a few inches longer but other than that great quality.
