AudioQuest - William Tell Zero w/ DBS Carbon - FR Speaker Cables (Pair)

AudioQuest's William Tell Zero speaker cables can be used in one of two ways: either employing the Zero model for Full-Range, or by using the Zero model in combination with a dedicated Bass cable, as a fully optimized Bi-Wire Combination cable. The William Tell Zero speaker cables also feature AudioQuest's patented common-mode noise-rejection technology. These latest AudioQuest speaker cables significantly outperform previous technology at controlling and draining radio-frequency noise.

“The William Tell Zero speaker cables and Water interconnects made a genuinely positive improvement in the sound of my hi-fi: better clarity, more realism, an enhanced soundstage, and higher resolution: exactly what everyone wants when they pony up for new cables.” — StereoTimes 6/19/20, Greg Simmons

The William Tell Zero speaker cables are Cold-Welded to AudioQuest’s extremely pure Red Copper Spades or Bananas. The bare copper is submerged in a vat of pure silver instead of being tumbled in a lower-grade solution. AudioQuest speaker breakouts and plug casings are not metal in order not to induce RF Noise into the conductors.

All drawn metal strands or conductors have a non-symmetrical, and therefore directional, grain structure. AudioQuest controls the resulting RF impedance variation so that noise is drained away from where it will cause distortion. The correct direction is determined by listening to every batch of metal conductors used in every AudioQuest William Tell speaker cable. When applicable, arrows are clearly marked on the connectors to ensure superior sound quality. In AudioQuest's William Tell Zero speaker cables, the arrows not only indicate the direction that optimizes metal-directionality as part of Noise-Dissipation, but also indicates non-symmetrical attachment of shield and GND in order to optimize full-system performance.

Today’s environment is saturated with radio-frequency noise that is extremely difficult to filter or reject. The frequencies of this noise from satellites, cellular towers, and Bluetooth, etc., are so extremely narrow that a conventional shield, or a series or shunt filter, is wholly inadequate. Much of the low-level signal that carries the harmonics and spatial cues that define high-resolution audio is masked by induced radio-frequency noise. AudioQuest's comprehensive Linearized Noise-Dissipation System combines multiple shields and a carbon-based linearized resistive network that turns most of this noise into heat.
