Audioquest Leopard Tonearm Cable

Solid PSS Silver: Perfect-Surface Technology applied to extreme-purity silver provides unprecedented clarity and dynamic contrast.

Dielectric-Bias System (DBS, US Pat #7,126,055):  All insulation slows down the signal on the conductor inside.  When insulation is un-biased, it slows down parts of the signal differently, a big problem for very time sensitive multi-octave audio.AudioQuest’s DBS creates a strong stable electrostatic field which saturates and polarizes (organizes) the molecules of the insulation. This minimizes both energy storage in the insulation and the multiple nonlinear time-delays. Sound appears from a surprisingly black background with unexpected detail and dynamic contrast. The DBS pack’s batteries will last for years. A test button and LED allow for the occasional battery check.

Noise-Dissipation System:100% shield coverage is easy. Preventing captured RF Interference from modulating the equipment’s ground-reference requires AQ’s Noise-Dissipation System. Metal and Carbon-Loaded synthetics prevent most RFI from reaching the equipment’s ground-plane.

Teflon Air-Tubes: Air is a nearly perfect dielectric. Once DBS is attached (for 2 weeks), the normal weakness/harshness of un-biased Teflon is eliminated.Cold-Weld System:  Novel plug design enables a perfect heat-free connection between cable and plug.  XLR plugs are also available.
