AudioQuest Sub-3 Subwoofer Cable
Best high-fidelity upgrade for serious home theater bass enthusiasts.
This cable is an essential upgrade for anyone serious about tightening up their low-end response. The active battery-powered shielding system creates a remarkably quiet noise floor, though you will have to manage the slightly bulky DBS pack behind your gear. It’s a purposeful trade-off for significantly cleaner, more articulate bass.
