** AudioQuest GO-4 72v DBS 8-Foot Speaker Cables (USA) (New Never Used)
Never Used - Bought for an extra system that I never ended up using.
Great-Sounding Cable with Perfect-Surface Copper+ Conductors
AudioQuest GO-4 15 AWG speaker cable uses extremely high purity Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors. All conductors are solid, which prevents strand interaction, a major source of distortion. Surface quality is critical because a conductor can be considered as a rail-guide for both the electric fields within a conductor, and for the magnetic fields outside the conductor.
The astonishingly smooth and pure Perfect-Surface eliminates harshness and greatly increases clarity compared to OFHC, OCC, 8N and other coppers. The superior purity of PSC+ further minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries, which exist within any metal conductor.
The Advantage of Solid ConductorsAll four of GO-4's conductors are solid. Electrical and magnetic interaction between strands in a conventional cable is the single greatest source of distortion, often causing a somewhat harsh, dirty and confused sound. Solid conductors are the most important ingredients enabling GO-4’s very clear sound. Whether a conductor is solid or stranded, skin-effect is a prime distortion mechanism in speaker cables. AudioQuest GO-4 very simply keeps this effect out of the audio range by using conductor sizes that are below the threshold for audible distortion.
Dielectric-Bias SystemAll insulation slows down the signal on the conductor inside. When insulation is un-biased, it slows down parts of the signal differently, a big problem for very time sensitive multi-octave audio.
AudioQuest’s DBS creates a strong stable electrostatic field, which saturates and polarizes (organizes) the molecules of the insulation. This minimizes both energy storage in the insulation and the multiple nonlinear time-delays. Sound appears from a surprisingly black background with unexpected detail and dynamic contrast. The DBS packs batteries will last for years. A test button and LED allow for the occasional battery check.
Cable GeometryThe relationship between conductors defines a cable’s most basic electrical values (capacitance and inductance). However, even when those variables are kept in a reasonable balance, the relationship between conductors can be varied in ways that greatly effect the sound. The spiral construction of GO-4 allows for significantly better dynamic contrast and information intelligibility than if the same conductors were run in parallel. The specific 4-cross geometry used in GO-4 maximizes this advantage.
SST (Spread Spectrum Technology)Any single size or shape of conductor has a specific distortion profile. Even though radially symmetrical conductors (solid round or tubular) have the fewest discontinuities, any particular size does have a sonic signature. SST is a method for significantly reducing the awareness of these character flaws by using a precise combination of different size conductors. The four different SST-determined conductor sizes used in GO-4 allow an exceptionally clear, clean and dynamic sound.
Quality TerminationsAudioQuest offers a wide range of high quality connectors that allow GO-4 to be securely attached to any type of equipment. Quality is in the low distortion sound, not necessarily in the eye-candy effect. AQ ends are either a dull looking gold or silver because these metals are plated directly over the connector. There is no shiny and harsh sounding nickel layer underneath.
I take shipping very seriously and make sure
everything is buttoned up perfectly for a safe trip to you.

Please take some time to read my Feedback. It
shows how I genuinely care about other Audiogon members and the small group of
other fellow audiophiles. I don't do this for a living but for me it's fun,
it's my hobby. I take the greatest care of my items and I am offering a world
class product for a great, well below market price. I am professional business
person by trade and an audiophile by hobby and you can count on having a first
class buying experience to go with some great top of the food chain Hi-Fi
products.
I appreciate your taking the time to read my
posting. Thank you for the time and consideration. Feel free to reach out if I
can answer any questions. Shipping to be paid by the buyer and Only 2.5% extra
for PayPal please or Audiogon Xpress Checkout and Paypal gift is Free… Thanks
gain :)
