5 out of 5
Audioquest is one of the most well-regarded cable manufacturers in the world, with each cable seeing a level of meticulous detail in both its aesthetic construction, as well as intuitive engineering to provide an impressive performance. Regardless of whether the cable in question be an analogue or digital interconnect, speaker cable, subwoofer cable or anything with Audioquest's badge on it - only the finest quality materials and construction expertise is used to form an exceptional, industry-leading product.
An affordable all-rounder is what the good old tried-n-tested AudioQuest G2 LGC speaker cable pitches itself at. Superior transmission and a smooth, clear sound make it a seminal partner for high-quality traditional-style loudspeakers.
The Audioquest G2 is constructed with a flat profile ensuring that runs under floors and along walls are kept as discreet as possible yet not compromising on overall audio quality.
Semi-Solid Concentric Packed Conductors
SSCP Conductors are used in some of AudioQuest's AC power and speaker cables as a cost-effective, flexible alternative to typical stranded conductors. Semi-Solid Concentric Packed Conductors use fewer, larger strands that do not change position down the length of the cable. While solid conductors are the complete solution to strand distortion, Semi-Solid Concentric Packed Conductors avoid many of the distortion mechanisms of stranded conductors.
Long Grain Copper
LGC 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, fewer impurities, less grain boundaries, and definitively better performance. G2 cables use LGC strands in a Semi-Solid Concentric Packed Conductor arrangement.
SST (Spread Spectrum Technology)
Any single size or shape of conductor has a specific distortion profile. Even though radially symmetrical conductors (solid or tubular) have the fewest discontinuities, any conductor of a particular size does have a sonic signature. SST is a method for significantly reducing the awareness of these character flaws by using a precise combination of different-size conductors.
Terminations
A quality cable demands a quality termination. Stripped Bare wire and even DIY plugs leave the copper conductors exposed to signal-degrading oxygen which will require the cable to be re-terminated over time.
