Gold Series RCA Interconnects
For the System That Demands Everything. Built for the Listener Who Hears the Difference.
The Gold Series RCA Interconnect is VaultTone Audio's reference-level cable — a handcrafted signal path built for audiophiles who have invested in systems capable of resolving every last detail a recording contains. Where the Silver Series excels at clarity and speed, the Gold Series adds mass, scale, and harmonic depth. This is the cable for the listener who has heard what their system is capable of and wants more of it.
Built by hand in small batches at our studio inside a historic bank building on the Ohio River, every Gold Series cable is individually inspected before it leaves our bench. The same hands that built cables for some of the most respected names in high-end audio built this one.

What 288 Strands Actually Means
The Gold Series carries four times the conductor mass of the Silver Series — 288 strands of 36 AWG silver-plated copper versus 72. This is not a cosmetic upgrade. Greater conductor mass means lower resistance, improved current delivery, and the ability to resolve low-level musical information that thinner conductors simply cannot retrieve. In a highly resolving system, the difference is not subtle. You hear it in the weight of a bass note, the air around a vocal, the decay of a piano string in a quiet room.
The Type 2 Litz geometry controls how those 288 strands interact with each other and with the signal — minimizing skin effect and strand-to-strand interference so the conductor mass works for you, not against you.
The VaultTone Design Philosophy
Every VaultTone cable begins with a simple objective: preserve the integrity of the musical signal while minimizing the electrical artifacts that can obscure detail, texture, and realism. Our designs utilize precision-built Type 2 Litz conductors, carefully controlled twisted-pair geometries, and premium Furutech terminations to reduce losses and maintain signal purity.
The Gold Series represents the fullest expression of that philosophy — maximum conductor mass, precision geometry, and reference-grade terminations, all assembled by hand and inspected individually before shipping.
Furutech FP-126(R) Connectors
Both ends of every Gold Series cable are terminated with Furutech's FP-126(R) rhodium-plated RCA connectors. Furutech's α (Alpha) pure copper conductors and rhodium plating deliver low contact resistance, long-term corrosion resistance, and the extended high-frequency clarity rhodium is known for. At this price point, there is no compromise on termination. These connectors are the same standard found on cables costing significantly more.

Gold Series vs. Silver Series
| Specification | Silver Series | Gold Series |
|---|---|---|
| Conductor Size | 18 AWG equivalent | 12 AWG equivalent |
| Strand Count | 72 x 36 AWG | 288 x 36 AWG |
| Construction | Type 2 Litz, Twisted Pair | Type 2 Litz, Twisted Pair |
| Connectors | Furutech FP-126(R) | Furutech FP-126(R) |
| Performance Character | Clarity, speed, transparency | Greater resolution, scale, and harmonic refinement |
The Silver Series is an exceptional cable. The Gold Series is for the listener whose system can extract everything it has to offer — and who wants to hear what that sounds like.
