Product FAQ:

Q: Can I use this cable to extend a turntable's phono cable without encountering hum issues?
A: Yes, you can. This cable has been used successfully to extend the fixed cable on an Audio-Technica AT-LP120-USB turntable without any hum or buzz issues.

Q: Will these 25 ft. cables affect the sound quality?
A: As long as the cables are not excessively long (over 100 ft.) or placed behind a wall close to electrical lines, they should not affect sound quality. It is recommended to purchase larger gauge wires to prevent quality issues.

Q: Can I use this cable with Bose jewel cube speakers?
A: Yes, you can. This is a standard audio cable extender and should work with any device that uses RCA connectors.

Q: How many cables come in each package?
A: Each package contains one cable. If you need to extend both the left and right channels, you will need to purchase two cables.

Q: Does this cable support low frequencies for subwoofers?
A: Yes, it does. This cable has an impedance of 75 ohms, making it superior to other coaxial cables that can only handle analog signals.

Q: Can I use this cable for video?
A: Yes, you can. This cable can be used for video as well as audio signals.

Q: What is the wire gauge of the conductor?
A: The wire gauge is not specified by the manufacturer, but it is noticeably thicker than typical RCA cables.

Q: Can this cable be used for a yellow RCA (video) output?
A: Yes, it can. All RCA cables carry signals the same way for both audio and video.

Customer Reviews:

Fixed my turntable hum issue!!!!!
I’ve been racking my brain and scouring the internet trying to find a solution to this god-awful hum/buzz from my Audio-Technica LP-60 turntable to my Yamaha receiver phono input. I was using cheap extension cables and thought it was a grounding issue but this turntable is supposed to be internally grounded so had no idea what the issue was. Bought two of these bad boys and BAM fixed the hum issue! Ahhh pure audio heaven now!! Highly recommend!!!

The cable works very well
I used this to connect my studio monitor speakers to my computer. The sound is very good. The cable seems to be well made. It has been in use for several months with no problems noticed. The only improvement that I would suggest it to increase the cable length after the Y; I had to buy additional RCA cables to reach the speakers, which are only about 3 feet apart.

Took care of my turntable HUM/BUZZ!!!!!
Ok purchased a new/Old Stock HK Stereo Receiver for my AT LP-120 turntable. I needed a little longer run and used my old RCA cable extensions and there was a horrible hum/buzzing coming out of my speakers!! I was praying it was my cheap extension cable. Ordered Two of these heavy duty Extension cables (6 feet) hooked them up and Bam!! These did the trick!!!! Super Happy!!! I can highly recommend these High-Quality Extension cables for your Analog Audio Needs!!

Excellent value
I've been really impressed with the Kabel Direkt RCA cables I run from my CD player to my receiver, so when the need arose for extensions, I naturally got these, and I have no regrets. These cables look and feel great, sturdy, but not overly bulky, but not cheap and flimsy. I've not had any audio/signal issues with either these or my older RCA cables. Yes, there are cheaper cables out there, but for what you get in these cables, I feel the price is very fair. I've already recommended these cables to a co-worker.

Great Cable
I needed to re-route my subwoofer cable to my A/V receiver. The existing length of cable I had came up short. This 3-foot extension was the perfect solution. Have been using my system for approximately 1 week and all is perfect. This is 1 of 3 cables that I have purchased from this vendor. I am well pleased with this and the other cables.

Just works
Helped get sub in the spot I needed, no loss in sound level.

Impressed with the Quality
Perfect solution for setting up my turntable a few feet further than my fixed cables would reach. I hooked 2 of these up to my Amp along with a ground wire and ran behind my console. Plugged in the AC cord of my turntable to a convenient outlet then had the 3 connections to my Amp right on the spot. Super simple, I am impressed by the apparent quality of the cables. I wish there were an easy way to upgrade the thin gauge RCA cables coming out of my Thorens TD115 turntable.

Extension Cable
Puts the plug where I do not have to move equipment.

Not as advertised.
Ordered two. Neither had any gold plating let alone 24 carat. Not as advertised. Totally unacceptable. Will not use.

Muy buen producto
La calidad de los materiales son muy buenos, las terminaciones y diseño tambien son muy buenos, para calidad y precio valen la pena la compra, sin tener que gastar por cables de mayor precio.

This cable is awesome. Super heavy duty and seems like it will last forever.
