AudioQuest Sydney Interconnect Cable

This cable is designed to connect audio components that use different connection standards, specifically bridging equipment with a DIN output—often found on vintage turntables or specialized European audio gear—to standard RCA inputs on modern amplifiers or preamps.

Soldering introduces a different metal into the signal path, which can create a point of resistance or potential degradation. Cold-welding uses high pressure to create a permanent, low-resistance connection between the cable and the plug, ensuring the signal remains as pure as possible.

This design separates the ground path from the signal path, which helps prevent the ground from being used as an inferior audio conductor. It effectively lowers the noise floor, resulting in a cleaner, more detailed soundstage.

Polyethylene air-tubes are used because air is an excellent insulator that absorbs very little energy. By minimizing the contact between the insulation material and the conductors, the cable preserves the integrity of the signal and prevents the smearing of high-frequency details.

Yes, it features a carbon-based, 3-layer noise-dissipation system. This setup is designed to shield the cable from radio frequency interference, preventing external noise from polluting your audio signal.

The 0.6-meter length is quite short, making it ideal for components stacked directly on top of one another or placed on the same shelf. If your equipment is separated by a significant distance, you may need a longer cable to avoid putting tension on the connections.
