AudioQuest Golden Gate Turntable Cable + Ground Wire
Connect your turntable to a phono stage or receiver with the AudioQuest Golden Gate RCA turntable cable, which includes an integrated ground wire to help eliminate hum. Solid Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) conductors minimize distortion, Foamed-Polyethylene insulation preserves dynamic contrasts, and Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation efficiently dissipates high-frequency noise — for cleaner, clearer, more naturally beautiful music. Golden Gate is the entry point in AudioQuest's turntable cable lineup. As an authorized AudioQuest dealer in Toronto, Canada, Vinyl Sound can help you match this cable to your turntable and phono stage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a turntable cable need a ground wire?
The ground wire connects your turntable's chassis ground to your phono stage or receiver, helping eliminate hum caused by ground loops — a common issue with turntable setups. Contact Vinyl Sound if you're not sure how to connect the ground wire on your setup.
How does Golden Gate compare to AudioQuest's higher turntable cable tiers?
Golden Gate uses Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation and Solid Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) conductors. Higher tiers in AudioQuest's turntable cable lineup upgrade to Silver conductors and Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation. Contact Vinyl Sound for a detailed comparison.
