Key Features
An affordable all-rounder is what the good old tried-n-tested AudioQuest G2 LGC speaker cable pitches itself at. Superior transmission and a smooth, clear sound makes it a seminal partner for high-quality traditional-style loudspeakers.
The Audioquest G2 is constructed with a flat profile ensuring that runs under floors and along walls are kept as discreet as possible yet not compromising on overall audio quality.
SSCP Conductors are used in some of AudioQuest's AC power and speaker cables as a cost-effective, flexible alternative to typical stranded conductors. Semi-Solid Concentric Packed Conductors use fewer, larger strands that do not change position down the length of the cable. While solid conductors are the complete solution to strand distortion, Semi-Solid Concentric Packed Conductors avoid many of the distortion mechanisms of stranded conductors.
LGC allows a smoother and clearer sound than cables using regular OFHC (Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity) copper. OFHC is a general metal industry specification regarding "loss" without any concern for distortion. LGC has fewer oxides within the conducting material, less impurities, less grain boundaries, and definitively better performance. G2 cables use LGC strands in a Semi-Solid Concentric Packed Conductor arrangement.
Any single size or shape of conductor has a specific distortion profile. Even though radially symmetrical conductors (solid or tubular) have the fewest discontinuities, any conductor of a particular size does have a sonic signature. SST is a method for significantly reducing the awareness of these character flaws by using a precise combination of different size conductors.
A quality cable demands a quality termination. Stripped Bare wire and even DIY plugs leave the copper conductors exposed to signal-degrading oxygen which will require the cable to be re-terminated over time.
AudioQuest G2 Speaker Cable can be specially terminated with AudioQuest's SureGrip BFA Plugs in our workshop which seals in the copper leaving a nice, neat connection. Alternatively we can apply QED's Airloc terminations or Fisual Surefix bananas or spades which are hand-crimped and then nicely finished with heatshrink.
