Tan QY 2RCA to 2RCA Cable, Gold-Plated 2 RCA Male to 2 RCA Male Stereo Audio Cable for Home Theater, HDTV, Gaming Consoles, Hi-Fi Systems

Not as good as you can see in the photo. Not satisfied with the product quality.

Excellent choice. I use it to connect components of McIntosh. No extranoise or humming. Works very well, thick and yet flexible. Good value for the money.

I picked up the Tan QY 2RCA-to-2RCA 3ft/1m cable mainly so I could cut it up and make a high-level stereo-to-RCA converter harness in my truck. Out of the bag, the packaging was nicer than expected, and the connectors look decent for the money (color-coded red/white and gold-plated). After opening it up and doing basic continuity checks: What I liked: • Jacket is labeled “OFC (Cu-4N)”, meaning copper with a purity of 99.99% and the conductors look like they could be tinned copper (silver-colored strands). I can’t 100% confirm the metallurgy without proper testing, but it didn’t scream “junk” on inspection. • Wire size looks roughly ~26–24 AWG compared to a known 24 AWG piece I had on hand (so a little on the thin side, but usable for line-level audio). • There’s foil shielding (the typical “conductive on one side only” style), which is what I expected in a cheap stereo cable, nice to have nonetheless. • Internally, red/white are the two signal positives and black is the shared negative/return, and mine was actually wired logically (I always test, some budget cables aren’t). Things to know: • The two RCA channels share a common negative/ground conductor. That’s normal for many stereo RCA leads, but if you’re chasing the absolute best channel separation/noise rejection (or running long distances), separate fully shielded coax per channel would be better. • The conductors are a bit thin, so I wouldn’t choose this for a “forever” install where it’ll be constantly flexed or tugged, though it does have molded strain relief at the ends. For the price, it’s not terrible at all. If you just need a basic short RCA cable, or you’re doing a DIY project like I was, it’s totally serviceable, just don’t expect “premium” copper gauge or construction.

The sound quality is great, the length is just what I needed, and it's at a great price too. One thing to keep in mind is that the cable starts out at two cables, but runs down as just a singular cable, rather than two cables placed next to each other. This makes the cable a bit thicker than other similar cables I've seen, but considering how short it is, it's no big deal. As for sound quality, the cable is so short I would be shocked if there was any audible loss in quality or increase in noise. Sure, the cable is very cheap, but I think the quality is good for its size. It'd be very difficult to make an RCA cable as short as this one sound bad.
