Using technologies found throughout AudioQuest’s higher-level cables, Tower combines solid Long-Grain Copper conductors, Foamed-Polyethylene insulation, Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation, and an Asymmetrical Double-Balanced geometry to reduce distortion and interference while preserving musical detail and dynamics. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eWhether connecting a DAC to an integrated amplifier, a preamplifier to a power amplifier, or other line-level components, Tower provides a significant step beyond basic stranded interconnect cables without making the system unnecessarily complicated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"auto\"\u003eSolid Long-Grain Copper Conductors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eTower uses \u003cstrong\u003esolid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors\u003c\/strong\u003e rather than conventional stranded copper. Solid conductors eliminate strand interaction, while AudioQuest's LGC contains fewer oxides, impurities, and grain boundaries than standard OFHC copper. The result is lower distortion and smoother, clearer signal transmission. \u003cspan class=\"contents\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"auto\"\u003eMetal-Layer Noise-Dissipation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eRadio-frequency interference can enter an audio system through its cabling and compromise low-level musical information. Tower incorporates \u003cstrong\u003eMetal-Layer Noise-Dissipation\u003c\/strong\u003e, designed to absorb and reflect much of this RF energy before it reaches the equipment's ground reference.
