{"product_id":"audioquest-evergreen-nf-kabel","title":"AudioQuest Evergreen Interconnect Cable (RCA)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe AudioQuest Evergreen is an analog interconnect cable with RCA connectors that combines solid Long-Grain Copper conductors with an asymmetrical, dual-balanced geometry. This is where the AudioQuest ladder begins – exactly the spot where most systems still have a grey bundled cable plugged in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the Evergreen?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn interconnect cable carries the analog signal from the source – CD player, DAC, streamer, phono preamp – to the amplifier. The Evergreen uses solid wire instead of stranded conductors for this, so the signal doesn't migrate back and forth between individual strands. The copper is long-grain LGC with few grain boundaries, the insulation is foamed polyethylene that absorbs very little energy and releases it back only with delay. A metal layer drains high-frequency noise before it reaches the ground of your devices, and the asymmetrical geometry deliberately gives the ground path a lower impedance than the signal path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA ready-terminated stereo pair with gold-plated RCA connectors, in the length of your choice from 0.6 to 20 meters. The direction of travel is marked on the jacket: arrow pointing to the input, done. Other terminations such as 3.5 mm jack or DIN we handle on request.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the Evergreen suited for – and who isn't it for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlainly put: on a high-resolution chain, the Evergreen stays below its potential – there, the Golden Gate, Sydney or a River cable are the more honest choice. Its territory is the compact system, the second system, the turntable in the living room – anywhere a proper cable wasn't there before at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Evergreen is the most affordable way to unlock a system that never had proper cabling: solidly built, correctly constructed, without an esoteric price premium.

A solid conductor like the one in the Evergreen doesn't have this problem. Add to that long-grain copper with few grain boundaries, which further calms and cleans up the transmission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are the arrows on the cable jacket for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey show the direction of travel. Plug the cable in so the arrow points toward the input of the receiving device – that is, from the CD player to the amplifier. AudioQuest controls conductor direction during manufacturing, and the marking makes sure it's also correct in operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat length is the right one?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs short as possible, as long as necessary. Measure the distance between the devices with a bit of margin for cable routing and rack depth. Describe your setup and we'll tell you the right length, without you having to guess or order twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat speaks for buying the Evergreen at HD Zürisee?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe tell you upfront whether the smaller or the larger cable tier makes sense for your system, instead of automatically upselling.
