In addition, the stiffness of the material allows the cable's conductors to maintain a stable relationship along the cable's full length, producing a stable impedance character and further minimizing distortion.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSOLID 5% SILVER CONDUCTORS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"\u003eSolid conductors minimize the harmful effects of both electrical and magnetic strand-to-strand interaction. For digital cables, whose signals are of such high frequency that they travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor, increasingly thick layers of silver plating are applied to AudioQuest’s Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors to further improve Noise-Dissipation. Placing the superior metal on the outside of the conductor produces the greatest benefit on overall performance—a superbly cost-effective way to maximize a digital cable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAudiolab Stereo \u0026amp; Video Center\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"AudioQuest","offers":[{"title":"0.75 meter\/2.5 feet","offer_id":51813278581102,"sku":"AQUCARBONAESEBU075","price":424.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1.5 meter\/5 feet","offer_id":51813278613870,"sku":"AQUCARBONAESEBU15","price":499.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.25 meter\/7 feet","offer_id":51813278646638,"sku":"AQUCARBONAESEBU225","price":574.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 meter\/10 feet","offer_id":51813278679406,"sku":"AQUCARBONAESEBU3","price":649.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0583\/1537\/4703\/files\/AudioQuest_Carbon_ARSEBU.jpg?v=1738875170"}],"url":"https:\/\/audiolab.com\/collections\/audioquest-digital-audio-cables.oembed","provider":"Audiolab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
