{"title":"Power Cables","description":"\u003cp\u003eA power cable connects a HiFi component to the wall socket and supplies it with power – high-quality versions rely on solid conductors, good plugs and clean shielding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy a good power cable?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe power cable is the first metre in your system's power path. A solid cable with a proper cross-section and firm, well-contacting plugs ensures a stable, safe power supply – power-hungry amplifiers in particular reward this with a firm fit and reliable contact. There's also a practical benefit: a cable of the right length keeps things tidy behind the rack, instead of lying coiled up next to the signal cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat matters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat counts is sufficient cross-section, good plug contacts (in Switzerland Type J \/ T12 or IEC appliance connectors) and effective shielding. At HD Zürisee in Wädenswil we give you an honest assessment and look at whether a good power cable, a clean power strip or a mains filter will make the bigger difference in your setup. We think of the power supply as a whole, not just the one cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it's for – and straight talk\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone who wants to set up their power supply cleanly and safely – from swapping the flimsy cable supplied with the power amplifier to carefully cabling the entire chain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStraight talk:\u003c\/strong\u003e Power cables are the topic with the hottest debates. What's certain: a solid cross-section and firm contacts make sense, especially with power amplifiers. Whether you perceive an additional listening benefit beyond that depends on the system, the mains and the ear – we won't promise you any miracles here. Clean mains power via a filter often achieves more than the most expensive single cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVerdict:\u003c\/strong\u003e A good power cable is a sensible, long-lasting foundation – bought with realistic expectations. If you want to get the maximum out of your power supply, we'll look at cable, power strip and filter together with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes an audiophile power cable make an audible difference?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat's hotly debated. Measurably relevant are cross-section, contact quality and shielding; an audible effect depends heavily on the system, the mains and the listener.

Make sure the current rating matches the device. We supply the right combination and advise you on the choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need a dedicated power cable for every component?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery component needs a power lead, but not every one needs the most expensive cable. For power-hungry components like power amplifiers, a solid cross-section is worth it above all. For small sources the need is lower. We help you prioritise sensibly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePower cable or invest in a mains filter instead?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA clean power supply via a filter or a good power strip often achieves more than a single premium cable – especially on a noisy mains. Ideally the two work together.

What matters more is that the cable isn't unnecessarily coiled up right next to sensitive signal cables.

That makes it the cable for small, ungrounded components, not for your integrated amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the NRG-X2?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause power is the first ingredient in your chain, and it's exactly this ingredient the free cable in the box skimps on. AudioQuest fits direction-controlled Long-Grain Copper (LGC) here: copper with noticeably fewer grain boundaries than off-the-shelf stock, so less distortion arises at the transitions. Add to that the Semi-Solid Concentric geometry — seven substantial strands in a single, even layer around a core wire, instead of 37 strands getting in each other's way. The plug contacts are cold-welded rather than soldered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo reinvention of your system, more of a tidy-up: the background gets quieter, transients start more precisely, and the bass gets contour instead of mere bloom. That shows up most clearly on small digital sources otherwise hanging off the thinnest imaginable figure-eight cable. Anyone expecting an explosion will be disappointed; anyone looking for a clean foundation will nod with satisfaction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is the NRG-X2 for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor anyone running a streamer, compact DAC, CD player, or digital radio with a C7 input who wants to take the first sensible step with their power cable. Straight talk: if your device has a three-pin C13 input, the X2 simply won't fit — then the NRG-X3 is your cable. The same goes if your device needs a ground conductor. And for power amps, it's simply too thin at 2.5 A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOur verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NRG-X2 is the most honest entry point into the subject of power cables: affordable, cleanly made, without esoteric fanfare.

You'll find this connector on streamers, compact DACs, CD players, and radios. If your device instead has a three-pin C13 input, you need the NRG-X3. A glance at the old cable makes it clear in ten seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is the NRG-X2 only two-pin?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause its counterpart is too. Devices with a C7 socket have no ground connection, so the cable doesn't carry one either. That's why a two-pin Europlug sits on the mains side. If you want a grounded feed despite the C7 socket, reach for the NRG-Y2 instead — same coupler, but a three-pin mains plug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much current can flow through the cable?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp to 2.5 A at 230 V. That's generous for small source components and too little for amplifiers. Streamers, DACs, and players stay well below that. Anything that draws heavily on impulse belongs on a three-pin cable with a larger gauge, such as the NRG-X3 or NRG-Z3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the cable's direction really matter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudioQuest orients the copper conductors according to their grain structure and marks the direction with an arrow on the jacket.

Instead of many strands, the Thunder uses solid-core conductors of Long-Grain Copper and Perfect-Surface Copper – 11 AWG for the current-carrying cores, 12 AWG for the earth.

A solid conductor doesn't have this problem. The price for that is a stiffer cable – allow some bend radius when routing it so the connector isn't under tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Thunder really worth it on a power amp?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat's where it pays off most. A power amp demands a lot of current in a very short time on transients; any bottleneck before it costs control in the bass. A cable with large cross-section and solid conductors removes that bottleneck. The effect is clearly audible on powerful amplifiers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's the difference between the Thunder and the Blizzard?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's in the conductor construction and the intended use. The Blizzard, from the Wind series, uses semi-solid PSC+ conductors and aims for refinement. The Thunder belongs to the Storm series, uses solid LGC and PSC conductors, and is built for high currents.

The difference lies in the treatment. With the Entropic Process, each cable goes through an elaborate additional manufacturing step; a 2-metre cable therefore needs around 30 instead of 18 hours of manufacturing time, according to LessLoss.
