This AudioQuest Irish Red IRED05 cable features a metal-layer noise-dissipation system to help reduce RF and EMI noise. The 0.5% silver-plated copper and nitrogen-injected insulation ensure signal clarity for crisp, high-quality audio.
Q: How does this hook up when there is a left and right on the sub?
A: Plug into the left jack or LEFE jack.
Q: Do you have to use the ground? My marantz has no place for it and neither does the CV subwoofer.
A: Although I found no reference for it I did use the ground wire and just connected each end to any available screw that went into the metal frame. Couldn't hurt anything and I felt better for making the extra ground connection.
Q: What is the wire gauge of this cable?
A: Good question, but not one that anyone outside the company can answer without cutting into one. AT $99 a pop, it's not likely anyone would do this unless the cable goes bad. The cables have a sheath hiding the true diameter and construct. In the AudioQuest family of cables, this one's in the middle of the lineup at about $100 for a 10-ft cable. The Boxer cable will cost about $200 and the Husky about $500 for the same length. How much is the extra quality sound worth? As much as you want to pay.
