AudioQuest Sydney Analog Interconnect Cable
Connect a wide range of audio electronics with the AudioQuest Sydney analog interconnect, meticulously designed for outstanding flexibility and versatility. Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors minimize distortion, Polyethylene Air-Tube insulation preserves dynamic contrasts, and three-layer Carbon-Based Noise-Dissipation efficiently dissipates high-frequency noise for cleaner, clearer, more naturally beautiful music. Sydney sits one tier above Big Sur in AudioQuest's interconnect lineup, and is available in six connector configurations to match your source components, amplifiers, and turntables — select your preferred option below. This product is made to order at AudioQuest headquarters in Irvine, CA, with custom lengths available — expect moderately delayed fulfillment. As an authorized AudioQuest dealer in Toronto, Canada, Vinyl Sound can help you choose the right configuration for your system.

Key Features
- Solid conductors, preventing strand interaction (a major source of dynamic distortion)
- Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+), AudioQuest's best copper, minimizing grain-boundary distortion
- Three-layer carbon-based noise dissipation — alternating layers of metal and carbon-loaded synthetics "shield the shield," absorbing and reflecting most RF energy before it reaches the ground layer
- Polyethylene Air-Tube insulation, minimizing the out-of-focus effect seen in other materials
- Direction-controlled internal conductors, reducing RF noise
- Cold-welded, direct-silver-plated Purple Copper terminations
- Made to order, with custom lengths available

Frequently Asked Questions
Which connector configuration should I choose?
It depends on your source and destination components — for example, use 3.5mm Mini > RCA to connect a phone or portable player to a receiver, RCA > RCA for standard component-to-component connections, or a 5-Pin DIN configuration for tonearms and turntables using DIN outputs. Contact Vinyl Sound and we'll help you match the right option to your gear.
How does Sydney compare to Big Sur, Yosemite, or Angel?
Sydney upgrades from Big Sur's Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation to a three-layer Carbon-Based design and Polyethylene Air-Tube insulation for improved clarity. Higher tiers add FEP Air-Tubes and — at the top — Solid Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS) conductors with 72v DBS. Contact Vinyl Sound for a full comparison.
