Premium RCA Female Sockets

 It's always nice when you see improvements being made on components that we take for granted in the audio world.  I had these full insulating sockets made up for using in the Aurealis MC SUTs as high quality gold over copper female RCAs were becoming increasingly expensive.
 
These are beautifully machined by AEC in Taiwan.  They use a delrin body which means that it's much easier to isolate the RCA from the enclosure. Internal insulation is teflon, and contacts are gold over CuTe (copper tellurium).

The solder tags are prominent and easy to work with.  The external grey nut is actually coated brass so it's very robust and turns smoothly on the delrin body.  It's very easy to get a tight grip on the enclosure.



And as would be expected from such high quality components, the sound quality is exceptional. 

As AEC's minimum order quantity is relatively large, I have some of these for sale on the DIY page at www.aurealisaudio.com.au

Aurealis Audio - www.aurealisaudio.com.au



Finally after several years of selling audio accessories on Ebay, and battling with its ever increasing fees, I have moved most of the Aurealis Audio products over to a new independent website:  www.aurealisaudio.com.au

This is the first time I've been able to put all the information on the Aurealis interconnects and speaker cables in the one place. This has also enabled a consolidation and expansion of the range.  There is now a method to the madness and the distinctions between the various Aurealis cables now make some logical sense.  Here's a quick rundown of what is available:

Interconnects

R1 series - a mix of 20, 24 and 28 awg.  Available in all copper UPOCC wire or a mix of copper and silber.

R2 series - fine wire interconnects - using only 28awg - 3 versions: UPOCC silver, UPOCC copper and silver plated copper.

Phono cables, including a version with a Din style plug termination at the tonearm end.

 Speaker Cables 

UP Series - available in sizes from 20 awg up to 12 awg - UPOCC solid core wire only.

SP Series - available in sizes from 17awg up to 12 awg - silver-plated solid core copper

HG Series - heavy gauge cables available in UPOCC as a mix of solid core and multistrand UPOCC

DIY

Bulk UPOCC copper wire and silver plated wire, and a variety of connectors are also available on the site.
