Audioquest CV-4 (Foot)

CV-4 might look like a normal round cable, but inside is a fully optimized combination of extraordinary materials and extremely refined design. All four of CV-4's conductors are solid. SST (Spread Spectrum Technology) is a method for significantly reducing distortion by using a precise combination of different size conductors. Proprietary metal processing technology protects the wire's surface at every stage of drawing and fabrication.

For fifteen years AudioQuest has pioneered the use of superior metals. PSC clearly outperforms previous AQ metals that cost over ten times as much. The relationship between conductors defines a cable's most basic electrical values (capacitance and inductance). The spiral construction of CV-4 allows for significantly better dynamic contrast and information intelligibility than if the same conductors were run in parallel.

Since solid conductors don't need hard insulation, they can take advantage of the vibration damping advantage of a softer insulation. AQ ends are either a dull looking gold or silver because these metals are plated directly over the connector. A combination of these major ingredients and many more subtle details add up to explain how even an affordable cable like CV-4 can sound so good.
