Key Features
Water is the first cable in the 'Elements' series of analogue interconnects by AudioQuest. Water uses solid perfect surface copper+ conductors in a triple-balanced geometry. PSC+ nearly eliminates harshness and greatly increases clarity. While the 'Dielectric Bias System' creates a strong, stable electrostatic field which saturates and organizes the molecules of the insulation.

Water is the first cable in the 'Elements' series of analogue interconnects by AudioQuest. Water uses solid perfect surface copper+ conductors in a triple-balanced geometry. PSC+ nearly eliminates harshness and greatly increases clarity. While the 'Dielectric Bias System' creates a strong, stable electrostatic field which saturates and organizes the molecules of the insulation.
Solid conductors prevent both strand-to-strand contacts and magnetic interaction, major sources of distortion. Surface quality is critical because a conductor can be considered as a rail-guide for both the electric fields within a conductor, and for the magnetic fields outside the conductor. The astonishingly smooth and pure surface of all AudioQuest’s Perfect-Surface metals nearly eliminates harshness and greatly increases clarity compared to all other premium coppers. The extreme purity of PSC+ further minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries, which exist within any metal conductor.
Creates a strong, stable electrostatic field which saturates and polarizes (organizes) the molecules of the insulation. This dramatically reduces dielectric induced smearing of the signal, letting sound emerge from a “black” background. DBS, US Pat #S 7,126,055 & 7,872,195 B1
Because all drawn metal is directional, all audio cables are directional. AudioQuest analog and digital audio cables are all controlled for correct directionality. For the best sound, please use the cable with the arrows pointing from source to receiver or component.
Polyethylene air tube insulation ensures that there almost no contact between conductors and insulation further reduces smearing and preserves dynamics.
The Carbon based 6 layer noise dissipation system shields-the-shield, reducing RFI contamination of the equipment ground plane.
Proper ground-reference conductor prevents using the shield as an inferior ground-reference conductor.
