AudioQuest Yosemite Tonearm Cable

Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) undergoes a specialized drawing process that creates an exceptionally smooth and pure surface. This minimizes the grain boundaries within the metal, which significantly reduces signal distortion and allows for a cleaner, more detailed audio transfer.

The Yosemite is a dedicated tonearm cable designed for turntables that use a detachable tonearm cable connection, typically via a 5-pin DIN connector. You should verify that your specific tonearm utilizes this standard connection type before purchasing.

Because tonearm signals are extremely low-voltage, they are highly susceptible to interference and signal loss. This cable is engineered to preserve the integrity of that delicate signal, resulting in a more precise, transparent, and distortion-free sound compared to standard stock cables.

Yes, AudioQuest cables are directional. You will find arrows on the cable jacket indicating the direction of signal flow, which should point from the turntable toward your phono preamp or amplifier for optimal performance.

Tonearm cables are specifically designed to handle the unique electrical requirements of a phono cartridge, including low capacitance and specialized shielding to prevent hum. Using a standard interconnect can negatively impact the frequency response and noise floor of your turntable system.
