AudioQuest Cougar Tonearm Cable (1.5 Meter) with 72V DBS

1.5 Meter DIN to RCA  

72v DBS

Cougar is fast and powerful with explosive dynamics, yet silky smooth and lithe. Four of Audioquest's best PSC+ copper conductors are protected by AQ's proprietary DBS system allowing Cougar to preserve and convey more information and detail. A carbon loaded PVC jacket, absorb extra RFI further lowering the noise floor. A straight DIN and AQ's high quality welded RCA jacks complete the package.


Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) Conductors 
 
Perfect-Surface Copper+ has an astonishingly smooth and pure surface. Proprietary metal-processing technology protects the wire’s surface at every stage of drawing and fabrication. When high-purity low-oxide copper is kept as soft, pure and smooth as possible, it becomes a wonderfully low-distortion PSC+ conductor. PSC+ is manufactured by applying the same exceptional technology to an ultra-pure copper. The resulting sound quality is even more focused and simply less in the way. For over 30 years AudioQuest has pioneered the use of superior metals; yet even we were surprised by the huge leap in performance made possible with Perfect-Surface Technology. PSC+ simply outperforms all previously available copper metals at any price. All of Cougar’s conductors are solid. Electrical and magnetic interaction between strands in a conventional cable is the greatest source of distortion, often causing a somewhat dirty, harsh sound. Solid conductors are fundamental toward achieving Cougar’s very clean sound. 


Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation 
 
Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. Cougar uses air-filled Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation because air absorbs next to no energy and Polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile. Thanks to all the air in Foamed-PE, it causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials.
