AudioQuest Yosemite Turntable RCA to RCA Cable

Premium Turntable Interconnect with Advanced Noise-Dissipation Technology

The AudioQuest Yosemite Turntable RCA to RCA Cable is designed for high-performance vinyl playback systems that demand careful attention to signal integrity, noise management and component connectivity. Combining Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors, Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation, FEP Air-Tube insulation and AudioQuest's 72V Dielectric-Bias System (DBS), Yosemite brings advanced cable technology to the connection between your turntable and phono preamplifier.

This dedicated turntable interconnect features two male RCA connectors at each end, making it suitable for compatible turntables with standard RCA outputs and phono preamplifiers with RCA inputs.

For vinyl enthusiasts upgrading from basic interconnects or assembling a dedicated high-end analog system, Yosemite offers an engineered approach to preserving low-level phono signals and managing unwanted radio-frequency interference.

 

Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ Conductors

Yosemite uses AudioQuest's premium Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors.

AudioQuest developed Perfect-Surface Technology to create exceptionally smooth, high-purity copper surfaces. PSC+ is intended to minimize distortion associated with conductor grain boundaries and surface irregularities.

Its solid-conductor construction also eliminates the electrical and magnetic interactions that can occur between individual strands in conventional stranded cables.

These design considerations are particularly relevant to turntable applications. Phono cartridges generate extremely small electrical signals, especially low-output moving-coil cartridges, making the connection to the phono preamplifier an important part of the analog signal chain.

Yosemite's PSC+ conductors are designed to minimize conductor-related distortion while supporting AudioQuest's RF Noise-Dissipation strategy.

Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation

Yosemite incorporates AudioQuest's three-layer Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation system.

Three alternating layers of metal and carbon-loaded synthetic materials are designed to absorb and reflect unwanted radio-frequency energy before it reaches the cable's grounded shield.

Modern listening environments contain numerous potential sources of RF interference, including wireless routers, televisions, computers, mobile devices and switching power supplies.

Conventional cable shielding can collect this interference and conduct it toward the connected component's ground reference. AudioQuest's Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation system is designed to reduce the amount of RF energy reaching that ground connection.

For sensitive phono systems, controlling unwanted interference is particularly relevant because the cartridge signal undergoes substantial amplification before reaching the loudspeakers.

72V Dielectric-Bias System

One of Yosemite's distinguishing technologies is AudioQuest's 72V Dielectric-Bias System (DBS).

The insulation surrounding a cable's conductors behaves as a dielectric, meaning it can store and release electrical energy. AudioQuest developed DBS to establish a consistent electrostatic field within the insulation.

According to AudioQuest, maintaining this polarization helps minimize dielectric-related noise and improve wide-bandwidth dissipation of induced RF interference.

Yosemite's DBS also incorporates an RF Trap designed to prevent radio-frequency energy from the bias system's field elements from being induced into the signal conductors.

This technology works alongside the cable's PSC+ conductors and Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation architecture.

FEP Air-Tube Insulation

Yosemite features FEP Air-Tube insulation around its positive conductors.

Air has exceptionally low dielectric absorption, making it desirable for minimizing interaction between a conductor and its surrounding insulation.

AudioQuest's Air-Tube construction reduces physical contact between the positive conductors and the FEP insulation. The negative conductors use a deliberately different insulation arrangement suited to their electrical function.

This approach is intended to minimize insulation-related interference and preserve dynamic contrasts.

Direction-Controlled Conductors

All internal conductors in Yosemite are Direction-Controlled.

AudioQuest identifies a directional grain structure created during the metal-drawing process and controls conductor orientation as part of its RF Noise-Dissipation strategy.

This construction is intended to manage how induced RF energy travels through the cable.

When directional arrows are present on the connectors, follow the manufacturer's indicated installation direction.

Cold-Welded, Direct-Silver Plated Pure Red Copper Terminations

Yosemite features cold-welded, Direct-Silver Plated Pure Red Copper terminations.

AudioQuest's high-pressure cold-welding process creates a conductor-to-connector connection without conventional solder.

Direct silver plating is applied without an underlying nickel layer, complementing Yosemite's conductor construction and noise-management technologies.

The result is a premium RCA termination designed for compatible turntable and phono preamplifier connections.

Dedicated RCA to RCA Turntable Configuration

Unlike the Yosemite JIS and Yosemite 90° JIS tonearm cables, this version uses conventional RCA connections at both ends.

That makes it appropriate for compatible turntables equipped with standard stereo RCA output jacks.

The cable connects the turntable's left and right audio outputs to the corresponding inputs on a dedicated phono preamplifier or an amplifier equipped with a suitable phono input.

Before ordering, confirm that your turntable uses RCA outputs rather than a specialized JIS or DIN tonearm connector. Also verify the appropriate cable length and your equipment's grounding requirements.

Designed for Serious Vinyl Playback

A high-performance analog system depends on more than the turntable itself. The cartridge, tonearm, phono preamplifier, amplification and loudspeakers must work together as a complete signal chain.

Yosemite provides a dedicated connection for compatible RCA-equipped turntables, combining advanced conductor materials with an insulation and noise-management architecture designed for demanding analog applications.

Its Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation and 72V DBS are intended to address RF interference and dielectric-related effects that AudioQuest considers important to cable performance.

For systems requiring a separate grounding connection, the appropriate ground wire should be selected according to the turntable and phono preamplifier's requirements.
