AudioQuest Yukon Interconnects AudioQuest spent the last several years designing new replacements for its high-performance and high-value interconnects. Introducing Yukon . This cable is a magnificent performer and worthy of recommendation. New connectors and pins, all big improvements. A triple-balanced design, Yukon has a separate ground conductor to keep noise at bay. Polyethylene foam or air tubes insulate the conductors. And a new triple-layer noise dissipation system further protects the delicate signal from RF interference. Yukon utilizes AudioQuest's renowned Perfect Surface Copper+ (PSC+) for improved focus and resolution.
- Solid Perfect Surface Copper+ Conductors: Solid conductors prevent electrical and magnetic strand-interaction. Solid PSC+ Copper minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries and maximizes linear RF Noise-Dissipation. The result is clearer, cleaner, more naturally beautiful sound.
- Carbon Mesh-Network: AudioQuest’s Noise-Dissipation technology significantly reduces the RF Noise that reaches active circuits and causes masking effects.
- Polyethylene Air Tube Insulation: Because air absorbs next to no energy and Polyethylene 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. The result is clearer, more coherent sound.
- Triple Balanced Geometry: AudioQuest’s Triple-Balanced Geometry uses a separate ground-reference conductor, so the cable’s shield is never used as an inferior conductor. The cable’s three conductors ensure that the positive and negative signals have equally superior, low-distortion conducting paths.
- Cold-Welded Hanging-Silver over Pure Purple Copper Terminations: Cold-welding bonds the plug to the wire using high pressure, preserving the character of the wire at the point of termination. Hanging-Silver directly over high-purity Purple Copper further ensures uncompromised signal transfer.
