Slip 16/2 features semi-solid concentric-packed conductors that reduce harshness. AudioQuest long-grain copper has fewer grain junctions, which minimizes distortion and preserves clarity and naturalness. Slip 16/2's low-inductance spiral geometry minimizes phase distortion as the cable's length increases. The cable's low-friction outer jacket is ul-rated for in-wall use (CL3/FT4).
