AudioQuest Greyhound Subwoofer Cable Review: Precision and Power Unleashed
Welcome to our in-depth AudioQuest Greyhound Subwoofer Cable Review where we explore why this cable has set a new benchmark in subwoofer connectivity. Our hands-on evaluation at The Audio Tailor reveals how precision engineering and cutting-edge materials combine to deliver unrivalled low-frequency performance.

Build and Design: Elegance Meets Endurance
The AudioQuest Greyhound Subwoofer Cable draws inspiration from the graceful, athletic lines of its namesake. Encased in a sleek, durable jacket, it conceals a complex internal structure designed for maximum fidelity. The robust metal-layer noise-dissipation screen shields your ground plane from RFI, while foamed-polyethylene insulation minimises energy absorption and signal smearing.
Key Technologies Explained
-
Metal-Layer Noise-Dissipation Technology
A dedicated screen absorbs and reflects RF energy before it modulates the ground reference, ensuring a distortion-free signal path. -
Solid 0.5% Silver Conductors
Silver plating optimises high-frequency bandwidth and transient response, delivering crisp, articulate bass without the premium price tag of pure silver essentials. -
HyperLitz Coax Geometry
Eight spiralling, individually insulated negatives around a large positive conductor counter skin effect and offer impressively low resistance for deep, controlled subwoofer output. -
Cold-Welded Gold-Plated Terminations
Distortion-free, solder-free connections preserve dynamic range and clarity. The high-pressure cold-weld process ensures long-lasting contact integrity. -
Foamed-Polyethylene Insulation
High air-content insulation reduces dielectric absorption, improving transient accuracy and preserving the purity of your low-frequency information.
Listening Tests: Ground-Shaking Impact
In our Brisbane listening room, the Greyhound demonstrated exceptional authority and precision. Electronic dance music delivered taut, punchy bass lines while orchestral scores revealed layers of sub-bass ambience with remarkable clarity. The cable’s low noise floor and rapid transient response made every note palpably alive.
Who Should Choose the Greyhound?
If you’re an audiophile or home-cinema enthusiast seeking to extract every ounce of performance from your subwoofer, the AudioQuest Greyhound Subwoofer Cable is for you. It’s equally at home driving large active subwoofers for home theatre and supporting sealed or ported units in critical listening setups.
