SOLID PERFECT-SURFACE COPPER CONDUCTORS (PSC)
Perfect-Surface Copper has an amazingly smooth and clean surface. Patented metal processing technologies protect the conductor surface at every stage of the production process, from drawing to production. If copper with a high degree of purity and few oxides is kept as soft, pure and smooth as possible, you get a fantastic conductor with low distortion. For more than 30 years, AudioQuest has been a pioneer in the use of superior metals, but we were also surprised by this quantum leap in performance. PSC clearly outperforms previous generations of AQ metals, which often cost ten times as much. Electrical and magnetic interaction between the wires in a conventional cable is the main source of distortion, often resulting in a somewhat ragged and loud sound

FOAMED POLYETHYLENE INSULATION
Any solid adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Cable insulation and printed circuit board materials absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and released as distortion. Golden Gate uses air-foamed polyethylene insulation for both conductors, because air absorbs virtually no energy and polyethylene has little loss and also has a favorable deformation profile. Thanks to the air in foamed PE, it causes much less out-of-focus effects than other materials

METAL-LOW NOISE-DISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS)
100% shielding is easy. Preventing captured RF disturbances from modulating the equipment's ground potential requires AQ's Noise-Dissipation System. Noise-Dissipation System prevents much of the captured RFI from reaching the equipment ground

DOUBLE BALANCED A-SYMMETRIC GEOMETRY
Specially designed for single-ended applications, it provides a relatively lower ground impedance and a richer and more dynamic experience. While most single-ended cable designs use the same conductor for both ground and shield, the Double-Balanced design separates them for cleaner and quieter performance

COLD WELDED GOLD PLATED RCA PLUGS
This plug design allows a connection to be made without solder, a common source of distortion. Because the plugs are not machined but pressed, a metal with low deformation can be chosen without having to take machinability into account
