RCA cables that are kind to vintage jacks

Tight RCA plugs can push a vintage jack through the chassis or pull it off. Ours grip with just the right pressure, and their slim barrels fit where bulky plugs won’t.

The short answer

The Radique Audio Gold Series RCA stereo interconnect is a dual RCA to dual RCA cable for connecting components, in 0.2 m (8 in), 0.75 m (2.5 ft) or 1.5 m (5 ft). Its gold-plated plugs have narrow alloy jackets and a grip pressure set to protect vintage jacks. Inside: six layers of construction, twin cores of 67-strand tinned copper, aluminum foil and a 128-strand braided copper shield, with reinforced splitter modules, in a 7 mm gold cotton and nylon mesh jacket.

Gold and Black Series at a glance

Gold Series is our shielded line: six layers of construction around tinned copper, a gold cotton mesh jacket and gold-plated plugs. Black Series is the entry line: well made, and priced to replace the cable that came in the box.

What makes it better

Vintage-safe grip

Plugs tuned to hold firmly without the push-through and pull-off failures that overly tight connectors cause on old jacks.

Slim plugs for tight panels

Narrow barrels fit closely spaced or recessed RCA jacks on vintage receivers, amps and tape decks.

A very low noise floor

Foil and braided copper shields, which matter most with phono preamps, tube amps and headphone amps.

Six-layer construction

Twin 67-strand tinned copper cores, PE insulation, aluminum foil, 128-strand braided copper, a PVC jacket and a gold cotton and nylon mesh.

Reinforced where it counts

Heavily reinforced three-element splitter modules at the Y-junction, the point most RCA cables fail.

Vintage or modern

A 1970s Marantz or a modern streamer: it works beautifully with both.

Questions we get about this one

Will the plugs fit your vintage gear?

That’s what they’re made for: slim barrels fit closely spaced and recessed jacks, and the grip is firm without the force that can push an old jack through the chassis.

Which length?

Measure jack to jack and add a little slack. 0.2 m links stacked components; 0.75 m suits most racks; 1.5 m reaches across a cabinet.

What can it connect?

Any RCA output to an RCA input: turntable preamps, CD players, tape decks, tuners, DACs and streamers to a receiver, integrated amp or preamp, and preamps to power amps.

What warranty does it have?

A 1-year warranty, like every Radique Audio product: if it fails under normal use within the year, we replace it at no charge. See our warranty FAQ.

What does shipping cost? Is pickup possible?

Pickup in Kanata is free, by appointment. To have it shipped, add it to your cart and enter your city and postal code on the cart page: you’ll see live carrier rates before you commit. We ship across Canada and internationally. Buying it with one of our pre-owned speakers or components? Then it rides along in the same order at no extra shipping cost.

Do you ship to the United States?

Yes. On Radique Audio products we add the US import duties and fees at checkout and prepay them for you, so there’s nothing to pay at delivery.

Not sure which cable you need?

Tell us what you’re connecting to what, and we’ll tell you the cable, the length, or whether you need one at all.
