Ailsa RCA Duo Grun
Advanced OCC copper interconnect.
Wide-bandwidth solid-core RCA interconnect cable utilising our new 'Duo' independent dual-drain screen topology, a further refinement of our proven 'dd' dual-drain system, and which defines a new performance level for the Ailsa range.
Designed to overcome the shortcomings of conventional coaxial cables, the Ailsa Duo Ultra L RCA features two separate, independently-screened solid-core OCC copper conductors for 'hot (+) and 'cold‘ (-) connections, enhancing rejection of unwanted signal-degrading ‘noise.’ Solid-core offers significant improvement over multi-strand conductors, with lower distortion and greater consistency in performance.
Connectors are our acclaimed, low-mass Ultra L (Latik) RCA plug, which benefits from an innovative and extremely stable non-conductive 3D-printed geometric lattice structure, designed to have minimal impact on the delicate signal. Pins are of the same grade OCC copper as the conductors, which, in tandem with our solder-free cold-weld connection method, ensures excellent signal continuity.
Combined with a precision-twisted assembly – further increasing rejection of RF and EM interference – we’ve created a cable with a distinctive appearance, and we believe, clear, easily demonstrable performance gains with more than a hint of the coherence and tonal accuracy of our 'High End' Mavros and Arran products.
Listening to this latest generation ‘rebooted’ Ailsa reveals a neutral, detailed but engaging presentation without artifice or exaggeration, offering fresh insight into both new and familiar music.
Performance – particularly with regard to increasing dynamic range by lowering the system noise-floor – is further enhanced by Atlas’ Grun Coherent Earthing System (Grun lead & spade adapter included).

Reviews. What the specialist media say… (review refers to the previous version of this product).
Every now and again – maybe every few years – you come across a product that manages to balance the best of everything, and this cable bundle is exactly this. …this cable slots in like the ideal guest you’ve been waiting for to get the party started.
The interesting thing about its timing is that Ailsa Duo seems calmer and more measured than many cables, which sound rushed by comparison. This is a result of keeping noise at bay and minimizing losses through the use of OCC copper in both the conductors and contact pins, as well as the choice of topology.
…parallel stereo outputs enables instant A/B comparisons between two balanced interconnects, revealing the Ailsa Duo OCC to be a very even-handed and smooth-sounding customer indeed.
Ailsa is the ‘Goldilocks’ series in the Atlas Cables range and offers all the essential high-end ingredients…
