Description
AudioQuest Evergreen. Interconnect analog audio cable with high-quality copper conductors, gold-plated connectors, and black-green braided insulation.
Conductors are solid long crystal copper (LGC). Unlike stranded, solid (mono) conductors prevent electrical and magnetic interaction between the conductors. The design is asymmetrical, double balanced (lower impedance on the ground wire, equal quality of the positive and negative conductors). While many single-ended cable designs use a single path for ground and shield, the double balanced design separates them for cleaner and quieter operation.
Polyethylene foam insulation: Any solid material adjacent to the conductor becomes part of the imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and PCB materials absorb energy. Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Since air absorbs almost no energy, and polyethylene has low loss and a very low distortion profile, it causes much less of the defocusing effect that is characteristic of other materials.
