AudioQuest
The broadest range we carry by some distance, from an affordable HDMI cable up to serious high end. The brand to start with if you want one name covering an entire system.
About AudioQuest
Quick Access
AudioQuest's engineering, from solid-core conductors to DBS
Bill Low started AudioQuest in Irvine, California in 1980 selling cable out of the boot of a car, and the company still rests on the same set of engineering positions. They have been unusually consistent about them, which is rare in a field where fashion moves quickly.
The first is solid-core conductors rather than stranded. Stranded cable has thousands of tiny contact points between strands, and AudioQuest's view is that current moving between them is a source of distortion. Solid core removes the problem at the cost of flexibility, which is why an AudioQuest cable feels stiffer than most.
The second is metal purity and surface quality. Long-Grain Copper, Perfect-Surface Copper and Perfect-Surface Silver are AudioQuest's own conductor grades, and moving up the range is largely a matter of moving through them.
The third is the Dielectric-Bias System. A small battery pack maintains a charge on the insulation so it is not being asked to form and collapse a field along with the music signal. It is AudioQuest's answer to a problem most cable makers address by changing insulation material instead.
AudioQuest also make the DragonFly portable DACs, the Niagara power conditioners and Storm series mains cables developed under Garth Powell, and a well-regarded set of AV care products.
Shop by Range
AudioQuest name their ranges by cable type rather than running one ladder across the catalogue, so the speaker cable equivalent of a Cinnamon HDMI is not called Cinnamon. The metals run through the digital cables, Rocket and Folk Heroes cover speaker cable, and Bridges, Falls and Rivers cover analogue interconnects. Mythical Creatures is the only naming that runs across every type.

Audioquest Mackenzie Analogue Audio Cable - Custom Length XLR or RCA PairSKU: Mackenzie Custom
(3 reviews)£245.00Ex. VATCustom terminated by Future Shop's engineers, the AudioQuest Mackenzie utilises AudioQuests Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) for greatly improved dynamics and reduced distortions for a cleaner sound signature. The smoother surface on the solid conductors lowers distortion and produces higher performance.

£108.29Ex. VATFog Lifters significantly reduce RF coupling, whether with the floor, or due to misdirected efforts to isolate cable with stands or clamps that themselves have too much mass and are sources of RF Noise. A few inches or centimeters might not seem important, but as with light coming from a bulb, the energy falls off exponentially. A few inches or centimeters makes a big difference—which translates into a lower noise-floor and less compromise to, and distortion in, attached active circuits.

From£374.17Ex. VATVodka 48 features 10% Silver-Plated Copper conductors that have been direction-controlled for the most efficient dissipation of radio-frequency noise; a high-loss carbon layer, sandwiched between layers of metal around the 4 FRL + eARC pairs, further enhances noise-dissipation. -
£37.50Ex. VATThe Rocket 22 represents an upgrade on the Rocket 11, as the combination of AudioQuest's Long-Grain Copper and Perfect-Surface Copper results in a deep sound stage with detailed mid and high ranges, as well as full and warm bass. An overachiever at this price!
