Key Features
The AudioQuest Yukon RCA Phono Cable introduces a significant advancement in the series by incorporating Hanging Silver over Pure Purple Copper terminals. This innovation offers clear advantages over regular copper. Silver is a superior conductor of electricity, allowing electrons to flow with minimal resistance, resulting in a smoother electrical current flow. As a consequence, more of the signal is preserved at the connection point between the device and cable, delivering a more accurate and comprehensive representation of the original signal. To further enhance the performance of the Yukon series of analogue interconnects, AudioQuest has integrated Polyethylene Air-Tubes Insulation on both conductors. This technology stabilizes the cable's geometry and boosts clarity. By countering the energy absorbed by the cable's insulation and construction materials, it prevents the storage and release of distortion that could otherwise impact the cable's overall performance. The result is an even more refined and distortion-free audio experience.

AudioQuest Yukon cables are part of the 'Rivers' series of analogue interconnects, they build on the specifications of Mackenzie. Yukon cables feature 'Perfect Surface Copper+' solid conductors. Solid conductors are fundamental toward achieving Mackenzie’s very clean sound. While the 'Polyethylene Air-Tube Insulation' causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials.
Perfect-Surface Copper+ has an astonishingly smooth and pure surface. Proprietary metal-processing technology protects the wire’s surface at every stage of drawing and fabrication. When high-purity low-oxide copper is kept as soft, pure and smooth as possible, it becomes a wonderfully low-distortion PSC+ conductor. PSC+ is manufactured by applying the same exceptional technology to an ultra-pure copper. The resulting sound quality is even more focused and simply less in the way. For over 30 years AudioQuest has pioneered the use of superior metals, yet even they were surprised by the huge leap in performance made possible with Perfect-Surface Technology. PSC+ simply outperforms all previously available copper metals at any price. All of Yukon’s conductors are solid. Electrical and magnetic interaction between strands in a conventional cable is the greatest source of distortion, often causing a somewhat dirty, harsh sound. Solid conductors are fundamental toward achieving Yukon’s very clean sound.
Any solid material adjacent to a conductor is actually part of an imperfect circuit. Wire insulation and circuit board materials all absorb energy (loss). Some of this energy is stored and then released as distortion. All of Yukon’s conductors use PE Air-Tube Insulation because air absorbs next to no energy, and Polyethylene is low-loss and has a benign distortion profile. PE Air-Tube Insulation causes much less of the out-of-focus effect common to other materials.
100% shield coverage is easy. Preventing captured RF Interference from modulating the equipment’s ground reference requires AQ’s Noise-Dissipation System. Metal and Carbon-Loaded synthetics prevent most RFI from reaching the equipment’s ground plane.
The three conductors in “Triple-Balanced” Yukon cables ensure that whether prepared with RCA or XLR plugs, the positive and negative signals have equally low-distortion conducting paths. The 100% coverage shield is never used as an inferior conductor.
This plug design allows for a connection devoid of solder, which is a common source of distortion. Because the ground shells are stamped instead of machined, the metal can be chosen for low distortion instead of machinability. Purple Copper offers a cleaner, clearer sound than the nickel-plated or OFHC metals commonly found in competing manufacturers’ plugs.
