AudioQuest NRG-X3 Power Cable

AudioQuest is one of the most well-regarded cable manufacturers in the world, with each cable seeing a level of meticulous detail in both its aesthetic construction, as well as intuitive engineering within to provide an impressive performance. Regardless of whether the cable in question be an analogue or digital interconnect, speaker cable, subwoofer cable or anything with Audioquest's badge on it - only the finest quality materials and construction expertise is used to form an exceptional, industry-leading product.

Regardless of how clean an AC power source is, distortion will always be added within any AC cable, especially cable with a stranded design. Even the most adept and sophisticated mains condition units and power supplies can no remove the cable-induced distortion. A quality power cable though, can reduce these parasitic effects and have a direct effect on the quality of your audio system.

SEMI-SOLID CONCENTRIC PACKED SOLID LONG-GRAIN COPPER (LGC) CONDUCTORS:

Using solid conductors ensures that potential distortion caused by conductor strands is completely eliminated. This means that the cable is able to offer a much smoother and more detailed sound response than lesser cables that use OFHC copper. OFHC stands for 'Oxygen Free High Conductivity', but this acronym is slightly misleading as the term is a general metal specification that does not take distortion into consideration as being 'loss'. Long-Grain Copper however has fewer oxides within the conducting material, reduced grain boundaries and as a result; a superior performance in audio.

HELICAL-ARRAY GEOMETRY:

The relationship between conductors truly defines the most basic electrical values of any cable, namely the capacitance and inductance. The issue is that even when these variables are kept in a reasonable balance, the way the conductors talk to each other may be varied in ways that greatly effect the sound of the signal being transmitted through it. AudioQuest attempts to improve the quality of this through the use of Helical-Array Geometry. This means that the cable is constructed in a circular-spiral fashion, offering a dramatically improved dynamic contrast and signal clarity than if the same conductors were run in parallel or as multiple twisted pairs.
