AudioQuest Evergreen - The Evergreen Point Floating Bridge crosses Lake Washington and connects Seattle, Washington (USA) with the area around the city of Bellevue. Since it opened in 1963, the bridge has been the longest floating bridge in the world at 2,285 meters. The construction consists, among other things, of 33 prestressed concrete pontoons with an average length of 110 meters and a width of 18 meters.

SOLID CONDUCTORS MADE OF LONG CRYSTALLINE COPPER (LGC): Solid conductors prevent distortion caused by mutual interference between the strands. The solid long crystalline copper (LGC) in Evergreen enables a more balanced, clearer sound than cables with the usual oxygen-free, highly conductive copper (OFHC - Oxygen-Free-High-Conductivity). OFHC is a general metals industry specification that considers “losses” without any consideration of distortion. LGC contains fewer oxides in the conductive material, fewer impurities, fewer grain boundaries and offers significantly better performance.

POLYETHYLENE FOAM INSULATION: Any solid material adjacent to a conductor becomes part of an incomplete electrical network. Wire insulation and circuit board material absorb energy (losses). Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. The Evergreen uses air-filled polyethylene foam insulation for both conductors because air absorbs almost no energy and polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile. Thanks to the air in the polyethylene foam, it causes significantly less blurring effects than other materials.

METAL LAYER NOISE DISSIPATION SYSTEM (NDS): Achieving 100 percent shielding is easy. To prevent “trapped” RF interference from affecting the device’s ground reference, the AudioQuest Noise Dissipation System is required. It prevents most RF interference from reaching the ground plane of the device.

DOUBLE-BALANCED ASYMMETRICAL GEOMETRY: Designed specifically for single-ended applications, Double-Balanced Asymmetrical Geometry offers less impedance on the ground for a fuller, more dynamic sound result. While many single-ended cables use a single path for both ground and shielding, double-balanced designs separate both for a cleaner, quieter performance.

COLD-WELDED, GOLD-PLATED RCA CONNECTORS: This connector design allows connections without solder - as this is a common source of interference. Because the ferrules are stamped rather than machined, the metal can be selected for low distortion rather than machinability.
