Each cable features two solid copper conductors to resist electrical and magnetic interference that can add brittleness to the sound. The center conductor is surrounded by a layer of PVC insulation, which prevents information smearing and keeps the sound natural. Triple shielding surrounds both conductors, eliminating almost all electronic noise, for the cleanest signal possible. G-Snake cables feature precision gold-plated RCA connectors attached with AQ solder for a low-distortion connection. All solder tends to impede the signal, but AudioQuest's special solder blend has been optimized to provide a solid connection and excellent performance.

What’s in the box? | In-depth notes Product Research Product Research What's in the box? 6-Meter (19.6') stereo RCA cable Our Product Research Team At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box, verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features Conductors: G-Snake has identical conductors for the positive and ground connections. Underneath the 100% coverage foil shield is a bare conductor, exactly the same as the insulated center conductor. The conductor under the shield does double duty as a low distortion audio connection, and as the drain wire connecting the shield to ground. Metal: G-Snake's LGC (Long Grain Copper) allows a smoother and clearer sound than cables using regular OFHC (Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity) copper. OFHC is a general metal industry specification regarding "loss," without any concern for distortion. LGC has fewer oxides within the conducting material, less impurities, less grain boundaries, and definitively better performance. Insulation: The PVC used in G-Snake has too much loss to be used in a quality video cable, but it has a very benign distortion profile through the audio range, keeping G-Snake's sound pleasant and natural. Terminations: Precision gold plated plugs are carefully attached with the very best solder. Through choice of flux and metallurgy, audioquest solder has been optimized to make a low distortion connection. AQ Solder does not have a high silver content because the more silver there is in solder, the more difficult it is to make a good connection.

Work very well in this setup. Have also used GSnakes between subs and Panamax wall surge protectors, worked well there also, bass was tight. These are basically a "blue collar" option, versatile for many applications, and just does the job. There's no real "wow factor" but also no degradation in sound. Would rate these as average quality-wise, compared to other Audioquest/Monster options, but above average for price/performance. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?
