AudioQuest carefully engineered their cables based on years of their own in-house research to transfer signals as cleanly and faithfully as possible. Solid conductors improve accuracy and clarity Type 4 cables feature four solid, long-grain copper conductors to ensure highly efficient signal transfer with minimal loss. Solid conductors eliminate electrical and magnetic interference that can add brittleness to the sound with multi-strand conductor cables. Precise cable geometry These AudioQuest cables use two 17-gauge and two 20-gauge conductors. This difference in diameter reduces the possibility of distortion caused by any particular conductor's sonic "signature." A specialized spiral arrangement of the four conductors minimizes potential signal interaction, resulting in sound that's clearer and more dynamic.

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features: Solid Conductors: All four of the AudioQuest, CinemaQuest Type 4 speaker cable 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 and distorted sound. Solid conductors enable the Type 4 cables to produce very clear sound. Long-Grain Copper: The Type 4 cable's LGC (Long-Grain Copper) allows a smoother and clearer sound than cables using regular OFHC (Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity) copper. LGC has fewer oxides within the conducting material, less impurities, less grain boundaries, and provides overall better performance. 4-Cross Geometry: The 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 Type 4 cable 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 Type 4 cables maximizes this advantage. Insulation: Since the Type 4 cables use solid conductors it doesn't require hard insulation and can take advantage of the vibration damping advantage of a softer insulation. SST (Spread Spectrum Technology: SST (Spread Spectrum Technology) is a method for significantly reducing distortion flaws by using a precise combination of different size conductors. Terminations: The Type 4 cable utilizes high quality BFA/Banana connectors that allow the Type 4 cables to be securely attached to your speakers and amplifier. The BFA/Banana connectors are a dull looking silver because its metal is plated directly over the connector itself. There is no shiny and harsh sounding nickel layer underneath to distort your audio signal. Product reviews from the Crutchfield Labs Product reviews from the Crutchfield Labs (what are the Labs?)

Written By Martin, Chico, CA on Tuesday, March 03, 2009 About 10 years ago I bought a Yamaha shelf stereo system from Crutchfield (when I still lived in Charlottesville and could buy it in the brick-and-mortar version). It still works and sounds surprisingly well but I am in the middle of upgrading my AV system. I started with new speaker cables, replacing the thin out-of-the-box Yamaha cables with these AudioQuest cables. Wow! I didn't know that that little shelf system could sound so good! The speakers are on Sanus SF22 stands, which already cleaned up the sound. But with these cables the detail, staging, localization and definition has increased enormously. At first I felt a bit silly to spend this much on speaker cables, but when I turned on a CD to hear the results and could not turn off the CD until I had listened and enjoyed it all the way through I knew it was worth it. 13 out of 18 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?
