NEW DISPLAY AND PRE-OWNED CABLES AND WIRES ON SALE NOW!

You just bought the best CD player or DVD player on the planet, but are you getting the most out of it?  You will! Just call Fred's Sound Of Music and we'll help!  Whether using single ended (RCA plugs), balanced XLR cables, Digital or Video Cables, AudioQuests' crystal clear and authoritative Sound & Picture is self-evident in every cable they make!

The New AudioQuest RCA and XLR Interconnect Cables!

AudioQuest Sidewinder uses two solid LGC copper conductors in a novel symmetrical Hyperlitz arrangement. One conductor is insulated and used for positive. The other is uninsulated and makes contact with the 100% coverage shield, allowing it to connect (drain) the shield while at the same time being used as a high quality conducting path for the negative signal. This mild red jacketed cable carries a UL CL-3 rating, enabling it to be used inside walls without conduit.

AudioQuest Copperhead uses two solid PSC copper conductors in the symmetrical Hyperlitz arrangement. One conductor is insulated and used for positive. The other is uninsulated and makes contact with the 100% coverage shield, allowing it to connect (drain) the shield while at the same time being used as a high quality conducting path for the negative signal. This black PVC jacketed version of this cable carries a UL CL-3 rating, enabling it to be used inside walls without conduit.

AudioQuest Diamondback uses two solid PSC conductors, and what a difference PSC makes. This extremely long grain copper allows for clarity and dynamics simply not possible with lesser materials. Double Balanced Hyperlitz design welded connectors and superior materials make this blue and black textile braided cable a great value.

AudioQuest Coral is a Triple Balanced cable featuring Hyperlitz construction. Coral uses three solid PSC copper conductors, each insulated with foamed Polyethylene. When used single-ended (with RCA plugs), one conductor carries the positive audio signal, two carry the negative. The 100% coverage shield is only attached at one end so that it is not used as an inferior audio conductor.

AudioQuest Viper uses three wonderful PSC+ conductors. Patented Air-Hyperlitz construction provides radically better performance. The same adjectives apply over and over; great ease, better preservation of dynamic contrast and of all the elements that make music involving. This beautiful black Triple Balanced cable is welded to #708 RCAs or #20/21 XLRs. Both types of plugs use direct-silver plated FPC copper for dramatically improved performance.

AudioQuest Python uses an extremely effective Air-Hyperlitz construction. It uses PE air tubes to isolate the PSC+ copper conductors. Compared to the solid PE insulation in Viper, PE tubes allows for considerably tighter focus and less overhang, cleaner sound and tighter bass. This bright Green/Black mesh Triple Balanced cable is welded to a superior color coordinated connector.

All AudioQuest RCA and XLR plugs are made from solid FPC copper. Most copper, regardless of purity, is too soft to make an effective plug. However, in addition to providing a superior signal path, FPC copper is strong enough to fabricate into truly superior plugs.

Whether it be AudioQuest's single or double bi-wire speaker cable or AudioQuest full range speaker cable, Fred's Sound of Music can help you make the best choice for your system.
We'll help you make your audio and video gear perform its best!

AudioQuest Speaker Cables, We cut and terminate any length speaker cable

AudioQuest Type 4 SST Hyperlitz uses two solid 20 awg (0.52 sq.mm) and two 17 awg (1.02 sq mm) LGC conductors. One of each size used together makes 15 awg (1.56 sq.mm). Available in Blue or White (both UL/CL-3), or with a Blue/Black textile outer braid (not UL rated). This finely tuned "4" design maximizes the amount of metal which can be used in a four conductor cable. If the 20 awg conductor we larger, skin-effect would smear the high frequencies, if the 20 awg were smaller, the character flaws of the 21 and 17 awg conductors would be heard as two flaws instead of working together as the 20 and 17 awg conductors do to minimize any such awareness (SST). If the 17 awg conductor were smaller, the cable would lose some "authority." If the 17 awg were larger, the 20 and 16 awg conductors would lose their SST advantage.

AudioQuest CV-4 is "living" proof that metal quality can make a huge difference. CV-4 uses the same exceptionally efficient design as AudioQuest Type 4 speaker cable. While Type 4 takes advantage of LGC (Long Grain Copper) in order to provide high performance at an excellent price. CV-4 uses the astonishing new PSC (Perfect Surface Copper) in order to "get out of the way" far more completely. CV-4 is smooth, pure, clean and dynamic to an extent not previously possible anywhere near this price, even from AudioQuest. While CV-4 is a wonderful full-range cable, it will perform even better when two CV-4 cables are used with biwirable speakers; serious take-no-prisoners performance. With two-way (high crossover) loudspeakers, CV-4 also makes an excellent single-biwire cable. To single-biwire a three-way (low crossover) speaker we suggest considering Slate or especially Bedrock. Available in Sea Green, Navajo White (both UL/CL3) and Green/Black textile braid.

AudioQuest Slate maximizes the benefits of third generation SST design by using four different size solid LGC conductors; 2 x 21 awg and 2 x 18 awg form the "treble half" of Slate. 2 x 19 awg and 2 x 16 awg form the weightier "bass half." The eight conductors are spiraled together in a OctoHelix Hyperlitz configuration. Used full range, Slate is a 12 awg (3.09 sq. mm) cable, big enough and designed to also be a very effective single-biwire cable. The eight conductor circular array allows each conductor to be more evenly balanced between its neighbors, providing superior performance over a four conductor cable. Between SST and a new conductor layout, Slate makes such effective use of the latest LGC copper, that it outperforms the previous LGC/FPC hybrid Indigo cable. Black satin PVC jacket, or black textile braid.

AudioQuest Bedrock uses the incredibly efficient Flat Rock design. Bedrock is our most affordable cable that combines Third Generation SST, Double Qua-Helix Geometry and Hybrid Technology. The 19 awg and 16 awg conductors in the "bass half" are LGC (Long Grain Copper). The 21 awg and 18 awg conductors use our amazing PSC (Perfect Surface Copper). When used full range, the hybrid use of PSC/LGC coppers provides much of the benefits of PSC, while keeping the price closer to LGC. When used for single biwire, the more sensitive "treble half" is pure PSC, making Bedrock an ideal single-biwire cable; especially for three-way (low crossover) speakers. This Mild red cable is 12 awg (3.19 sq.mm) Mild Red cable.

AudioQuest Gibraltar is The Top Rock! The big difference in this dark blue cable is the quality of the metal. In this fine-tuned Hybrid design the character of the overall cable is determined by our proprietary PSC+ copper used for the 21 and 18 awg and 19 conductors. Only the large 16 awg conductors are the remarkable, but in this case inferior, PSC copper. As even the "bass half" of this Flat Rock is a hybrid, even the bass half has mostly the character of PSC+. Leaving only the largest treble impaired 16 awg conductors in PSC saves money and gives up almost nothing in absolute performance. Thanks to the use of these exclusive coppers, the music is sweeter, cleaner and more dynamic. As with all the other Rocks, Gibraltar is also excellent for single-biwire use, or to make a double-biwire set with Bedrock or Granite on the bass.

Just a few of the Digital & Video Cables By AudioQuest, CinemaQuest at Fred's

AudioQuest VSD-1 (digital coax) "coax" cable has very low jitter. However, this cable is also a tremendous high performance cable in all 75 applications. This is why the cable in a Digital One package is actually our incredibly versatile new VSD-1. The initials stand for Video, Satellite

AudioQuest VSD-2 "coax" uses an 18 awg HCF (Hard Cell Foam) insulated SP-LGC conductor. The larger center conductor along with a combination foil, Silver-Plated LGC shield and a welded silver-plated connector offers improved performance for both long and short

AudioQuest VSD-4 "coax" uses HCF insulated solid FPS silver conductors in coax configuration. As great as SP-LGC is, it's still not the real thing. Very high purity solid silver is just plain flat-out bet

CinemaQuest OptiLink 1 provides significantly higher performance than is often thought possible with the Toslink interface system. Even though OptiLink 1 has a very modest price, that first step from normal cable into the CQ OptiLink series, is the biggest step .... the most sonic improvement.

CinemaQuest OptiLink 2 is better. Just as with OptiLink 1, the performance of OptiLink 2 is dependant on the quality of the ingredients and the execution. OptiLink 2 uses a significantly better optical fiber. When using most digital audio cables, there is very little difference in the sonic signature of the various cables

CinemaQuest OptiLink 4 is the best. The Toslink story is pretty well described within the above information for OptiLink 1 and 2. OptiLink 4 is the cable at the top. It uses the best of everything, including a fused silica fiber (also referred to as Quartz or Glass). As a result, this cable does less damage. It passes the most complete signal.
