PowerQuest Delivers
Alberto Pittaluga dives deep into the benefits of power conditioning, explores the relatively modest PowerQuest 3, and decides it’s staying in his system.
Ultra High Speed 48Gbps HDMI 2.1 Cable
Often, the choice between terminating your speaker cables with spade lugs or banana plugs will come down to personal preference. However, the EU-compliant isolated binding posts used on some power amplifiers often makes it difficult if not impossible to tighten spade lugs with high torque or pressure. In these applications, the AudioQuest banana connector is the superior choice, and may be the only choice.
AudioQuest has conducted a fairly extensive survey of contemporary amplifier manufacturers to determine whether spades or bananas will be most appropriate for a given brand and model of amplifier. Please contact us, provide the brand and model of the amplifier, and we’ll respond with the optimal connector type.
Here we typically recommend the U-Spade or banana connector. However, even though there is less weight and pressure on this side of the cable (particularly for BiWire sets), it is nevertheless important to note the binding post’s design. If a banana connector cannot seat all the way into the binding post, we recommend one of our spade connectors.
AudioQuest Photon 48, Designed for Xbox, is an Ultra High Speed Certified HDMI cable with the 48Gbps bandwidth required to support all the latest HDMI-2.1 gaming features. An excellent choice for all, whether playing for pure pleasure or striving to gain a competitive edge, Photon 48 is the perfect complement for Xbox Series X|S consoles and monitors featuring the “Gaming Features for Xbox” badge.
Photon 48 has the 48Gbps bandwidth required for 4K@120 FPS (3840x2160) gaming, Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) up to 120 FPS/144Hz, Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), and Quick Frame Transport (QFT)—all of which work to ensure smooth, lag-free, uninterrupted viewing and interactivity—and is backwards compatible with all previous-generation HDMI gaming monitors and consoles, including Xbox One.
