Accuphase AL-30 OFC Series 3M Audio Cable

Description

Gold-plated phono plugs provide excellent corrosion resistance

Since RCA-type phono plugs are normally inserted and removed many times, they must be highly resistant to abrasion and provide superior conductivity even after extended use. Another important consideration is the ability to withstand corrosion which can be caused by sulfuric gases and other contamination in the atmosphere. The thick gold plating of the plugs perfectly fulfils all of these requirements.

Features

The Accuphase Oxygen-Free Copper Series cables are engineered for uncompromising audio fidelity, utilizing a densely braided outer conductor made of high-purity oxygen-free copper. This robust shielding effectively protects the two twisted internal conductors also crafted from highly pure copper from external interference, resulting in negligible transfer losses and outstanding resistance to induced noise. The cable’s superb performance ensures that the unique sonic character of high-end audio components is fully preserved, allowing listeners to experience a natural, well-balanced sound that captures the full musical spectrum with clarity and depth.

At the core of the cable, the conductors are made from a precise combination of two different diameters of highly pure oxygen-free copper wires and silver-plated soft copper wires. This hybrid configuration provides superior conductivity and excellent signal transfer characteristics. The insulation system features a triple-layer structure composed of high-dielectric polyethylene and foamed polyethylene, implemented in a dual-core design. This minimizes both transfer loss and DC resistance, further enhancing signal integrity.

To maximize noise protection, the cables employ a dual-shielding method 192 ultra-fine (0.1 mm) high-purity copper wires are tightly braided to a high density, complemented by an aluminum foil tape layer. This design delivers low capacitance and exceptional protection against electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, ensuring pristine signal delivery even in electrically noisy environments.
