AudioQuest Chicago Audio Interconnect RCA-to-RCA
Overview
Good cables let the components you chose carefully sound the way they should. The AudioQuest Chicago RCA to RCA is an analog audio interconnect (2 x Male RCA to 2 x Male RCA) for connecting a CD player, streamer, DAC, phono preamp, or other source to an amplifier or receiver.
It uses solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC) conductors, which AudioQuest says sound smoother and clearer than regular OFHC copper, and direction-controlled conductors so induced noise is dissipated and drained properly. Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation absorbs and reflects most RF noise before it reaches the ground layer.
Nitrogen-injected Hard-Cell Foam insulation keeps signal-pair geometry stable along the cable's full length, Double-Balanced Geometry separates the ground and shield, and cold-welded, gold-plated terminations make the connection without solder.
Simcoe Audio Video Insight
Choose the shortest length that comfortably reaches between your components, leaving a little slack so the plugs are not under tension. Available here in 1m and 2m.

Why the AudioQuest Chicago RCA to RCA Stands Out
Solid LGC Conductors
Fewer oxides, impurities, and grain boundaries than regular OFHC copper, with solid conductors to prevent strand interaction.
Direction-Controlled Conductors
Conductors are oriented so induced noise is dissipated and drained properly.
Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation
Absorbs and reflects most RF noise before it reaches the layer attached to ground.
Hard-Cell Foam Insulation
Nitrogen-injected foam keeps signal-pair geometry stable for a consistent impedance and lower distortion.
Double-Balanced Geometry
Separates ground and shield for a relatively lower impedance on the ground and a cleaner, quieter sound.
Cold-Welded Gold-Plated Terminations
A solder-free connection made with a high-pressure process.
Buyer's Guide
Who It's For
- The Hi-Fi Owner: Wants a well-built RCA interconnect between source and amplifier.
- The Box-Cable Replacer: Is replacing generic cables that came with a component.
- The System Builder: Wants consistent AudioQuest cabling through a stereo system.
How It Compares
The AudioQuest Evergreen shares solid LGC conductors and Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation, while Chicago adds nitrogen-injected Hard-Cell Foam insulation. The Big Sur steps up to solid PSC+ conductors.
