The RCA-to-RCA version connects turntables with RCA outputs to a phonostage or phono input, while the JIS-to-RCA version connects directly to compatible tonearms. (JIS is often called phono DIN or tonearm DIN.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGolden Gate uses solid Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) conductors rather than stranded conductors. AudioQuest's PSC processing creates an exceptionally smooth conductor surface while eliminating strand interaction, both intended to reduce distortion in the delicate analog signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFoamed-Polyethylene insulation surrounds the conductors. Its high air content reduces the amount of energy absorbed and subsequently released by the insulation, helping preserve low-level information and dynamic contrast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudioQuest also employs its Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation system to absorb and reflect radio-frequency interference before it reaches the cable's ground layer. Direction-Controlled Conductors are arranged to direct induced RF noise away from sensitive circuitry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold-welded, gold-plated terminations complete the design. AudioQuest's high-pressure cold-welding process avoids solder at the connection between the cable and plug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) conductors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal-Layer Noise-Dissipation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFoamed-Polyethylene insulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirection-Controlled Conductors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCold-welded, gold-plated terminations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeparate ground wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable with RCA-to-RCA or JIS-to-RCA terminations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eConductor Material:\u003c\/b\u003e Solid Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eInsulation:\u003c\/b\u003e Foamed Polyethylene\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNoise Dissipation:\u003c\/b\u003e Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTerminations:\u003c\/b\u003e Cold-welded, gold-plated\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eConnector Options:\u003c\/b\u003e RCA to RCA; JIS to RCA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGround Wire:\u003c\/b\u003e Included\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AudioQuest","offers":[{"title":"RCA to RCA","offer_id":53976835227832,"sku":"GGATE-1.5M-TT","price":169.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"DIN to RCA","offer_id":53976835260600,"sku":"GGATE-1.5M-TA","price":169.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1564\/1247\/files\/golden-gate-turntable-turnggate150-351698_png.webp?v=1790792638","url":"https:\/\/upscaleaudio.com\/products\/audioquest-golden-gate-tonearm-turntable-cable","provider":"Upscale Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
