AudioQuest's Mythical Horses, Black Beauty and Pegasus, bring the proven advantages of ZERO-Tech to a much wider audience.
Most of the delightfully obvious sonic advantages of ZERO-Tech and the other refinements that enable the Mythical Creatures (ThunderBird, FireBird, and Dragon) are just as obvious when listening through the Mythical Horses.Â
To keep the very complicated construction flexible, the upper Mythicals have two or three externally visible separate constructions. While also necessarily complex, Black Beauty and Pegasus package all that ZERO-Tech goodness in single round cables (smaller for the 2-conductor RCA versions, a bit larger for the 3-conductor XLR versions).
Like Black Beauty, Pegasus features Direction-Controlled Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) conductors, Carbon/Graphene Mesh-Network, Copper-Plated Plug Casings, and Hanging-Silver over Red-Copper plugs. In addition, to further reduce distortion and dissipate radio-frequency noise, Pegasus increases the silver content of its RF Drain-Wires from 0.5% to 6%.Â
As with the Mythical Creatures, the RCA version of Pegasus uses a single 72v DBS pack, and, in order to maintain the integrity of the ZERO-Tech system, a Dual-DBS pack (2x 72v in a single case) is used with the XLR version.

LEVEL 6 NOISE-DISSIPATION (INTERCONNECTS): ZERO-TECH + 72V DBS + CARBON/GRAPHENE MESH-NETWORK + DIRECTION-CONTROLLED
Radio-Frequency Noise from cellular, WiFi, and satellites is everywhere. AQ’s Level 6 Linear Noise-Dissipation includes a carbon & graphene resistive mesh-network, direction-controlled conductors, 72v DBS, and Silver-Plated drain wires, significantly minimizing RF Noise masking effects.
6% Silver-Plated RF Drain-Wires
Direction-Controlled Silver-Plated RF Drain-Wires further ensure the proper and efficient dissipation of induced radio-frequency noise for clearer, more natural sound.Â

COPPER-PLATED RF-DRAINING BARRELS
Grounded Copper-Plated Barrels maximize Noise-Dissipation by preventing a metal barrel from capacitively coupling RF to the conductors.

HANGING-SILVER OVER RED-COPPER PLUGS
AudioQuest’s finest plugs feature superior Hanging-Silver (not tumbled) directly over extreme-purity Red Copper to ensure uncompromised signal transfer.
