C5 plug: 2.5A @ 220V - 240V

Distortion is added to every power cable - especially stranded cables - no matter how perfect the power source. Even the most sophisticated filters and power supplies cannot prevent these cable-induced distortions.

SEMI-SOLID CONCENTRIC PACKED CONDUCTORS: Semi-solid concentric conductors are used in some AudioQuest power and speaker cables because they provide a cost-effective, flexible alternative to traditional stranded conductors. Semi-Solid Concentric Packed conductors use fewer and larger strands that maintain their position relative to each other throughout the length of the cable. While solid conductors are the ultimate solution to strand-induced distortion, semi-solid-concentric-packed conductors avoid many of the causes that cause distortion in stranded conductors.

LONG-GRAIN-COPPER (LGC): Long-Grain-Crystalline Copper (LGC) allows for a more balanced, clearer sound than cables with the more common Oxygen-Free-High-Conductivity (OFHC) copper. OFHC is a common metal industry specification that considers "losses" without any consideration of distortion. LGC contains fewer oxides in the conductive material, fewer impurities, fewer grain boundaries and clearly offers better performance. NRG-X3 cables incorporate LGC strands in a semi-solid-concentric-packed conductor construction.

HELIX GEOMETRY: The relationship between the individual conductors defines the basic electrical properties of a cable (capacitance and inductance). Even if these variables are kept in a sensible balance, however, the ratio of the conductors to each other can vary in such a way that the sound is strongly influenced. The helix arrangement (such as a round spiral) allows for much better dynamics and clarity of information than with parallel conductors or as multiple stranded pairs of the same conductors. macos/deepLFree.translatedWithDeepL.text
