Description

The Audioquest Water RCA balanced interconnect cable is the entry-level of the American manufacturer’s “Elements” range. It stands out for its blue and black nylon finish and blue RCA plugs.

It’s also the manufacturer’s first interconnect cable  to be equipped with the DBS bias system.

AUDIOQUEST WATER RCA: CONNECTORS

The RCA connectors are of very good quality. Contact areas are made of high-purity red copper. They feature a silver plating.

Connection to conductors is achieved by seamless cold-welding.

AUDIOQUEST WATER RCA: CONDUCTORS

Like usual, Audioquest used Solid Perfect Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors.

This architecture prevents electrical and magnetic strand-interaction. Perfect-Surface’s smooth and pure surface eliminates hardnesses and increases clarity compared to lower-quality materials. Its extremely pure architecture minimises distortion as well.

This interconnect cable has a so-called “balanced structure” as positive and negative signals flow via a cable of similar quality. There’s also a shield cable combined with 6-layer carbon protecting the signal from electromagnetic noise and interference.

Conductors are inserted inside air-filled polyethylene tubes. In fact, air is the best insulator. The reason being that it absorbs next to no energy and that polyethylene is low-loss, provides little distortion and limits out-of-focus effect in reproduction.

AUDIOQUEST WATER RCA: TESTING AND LISTENING

From the first few measures, we are stunned by the soundstage magnitude. Vocals and instruments seem more present and better spatially defined. It seems like the true potential is shown and that distortion was further removed. Everything is more readable and clear without high frequencies being artificially accentuated.

The sound is more natural and a lot more nuanced compared to most interconnect cables from the competition. The musicians and their instruments’ performance is more evident and smooth.

The Audioquest Water also seems to play the neutrality card and is not very demonstrative. On the contrary, it keeps a low profile and favours music!

The Audioquest Water RCA interconnect cable is an unquestionable success! Would recommend

Note: This Audioquest Water interconnect cable is also available in XLR version.
