Audioquest Forest Coaxial 1.5m

Gold-Plated Cold-Welded Terminations

This connector design allows for a solder-free connection, which is a common source of distortion. Instead of soldering, the process uses a high-pressure technique. Because the ground shells are stamped rather than machined, the metal used can be chosen for low distortion instead of machinability.

0.5% Solid Silver Conductors

Solid conductors eliminate strand interaction distortion and reduce jitter. Silver-plated conductors are perfect for very high frequency applications, such as audio and HDMI video. These signals, being such a high frequency, travel almost exclusively on the surface of the conductor. Since the surface is made of high-purity silver, the performance is very close to that of a solid silver cable, but at a price much closer to solid copper cable. It is an incredibly cost-effective way to make very high quality HDMI cables.
