Product Highlights- Direct-silver plating looks dull because there is no distortion-causing shiny nickel layer underneath. it is optimized for sound.
- Beryllium-copper is stronger, more conductive, and better sounding than normal phosphor-bronze connectors.
- Cold-weld system for an ideal connection, better sounding than solder.

- Foamed-polyethylene insulation: any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy (loss). some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. evergreen uses air-filled foamed-polyethylene insulation on both conductors because air absorbs next to no energy and poly...
- Asymmetrical double-balanced geometry: purpose designed for single-ended applications, asymmetrical double-balanced geometry offers a relatively lower impedance on the ground for a richer, and more dynamic experience. while many single-ended cable designs use a single path for both the ground and the shield, double-balanced designs separate the two for cleaner, quieter ...
- Solid long-grain copper (lgc) conductors: solid conductors eliminate strand-interaction distortion. evergreen’s solid long-grain copper 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 t...
- Metal-layer noise-dissipation system (nds): 100% shield coverage is easy. preventing captured rf interference from modulating the equipment’s ground reference requires aq’s noise-dissipation system. noise-dissipation system prevents a significant amount of rfi from reaching the equipment’s ground plane.
- Cold-welded gold-plated rca plugs: this plug design allows for a connection devoid of solder, which is a common source of distortion. because the ground shells are stamped instead of machined, the metal can be chosen for low distortion instead of machinability.
