The AudioQuest Golden Gate Turntable RCA Cable with Ground Wire is an analog phono interconnect designed specifically for turntable connections and phono stages. It features high-purity Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) conductors that reduce distortion caused by grain boundaries and surface discontinuities, helping preserve the intricate detail and dynamics of vinyl playback. Foamed-polyethylene insulation minimises dielectric distortion for a clearer signal path, while AudioQuest’s Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System helps absorb and divert radio-frequency (RF) interference before it reaches the ground plane. Precision cold-welded RCA connectors ensure secure, consistent contact without the impedance anomalies that solder can introduce, and a dedicated ground wire helps eliminate hum and grounding issues in turntable setups.

Key Features

• Solid Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) conductors minimise distortion and preserve musical detail
• Foamed-polyethylene insulation reduces dielectric energy storage and release
• Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation System diverts RF interference away from the signal path
• Cold-welded RCA connectors provide reliable, low-impedance contact
• Dedicated ground wire included to help reduce hum and ground loops
• Turntable-specific design for phono-level signal transfer

Why Buy

If you’re connecting a turntable to a phono preamp or integrated amp with a dedicated phono input, the Golden Gate cable package provides a refined analog path with noise control and grounding support. Its conductor quality and insulation help maintain signal clarity from delicate cartridges while its ground wire helps manage hum and interference.

• Vinyl-friendly design: Engineered for low-level phono signals with grounding support.
• Noise control: Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation helps suppress RF contamination.
• Secure termination: Cold-welded connectors offer consistent electrical contact.
