AudioQuest - NRG-Y3 Power Cable (Single)

No matter how perfect an AC power source, distortion is added within any AC cable. Even the most sophisticated filters and power supplies cannot eliminate this transient intermodulation distortion as the induced RF noise modulates the low-level audio/video signal.

While many AC power cables feature low DC resistance in order to accommodate the demand for high current, a cable’s characteristic impedance is also crucial for optimal performance. Unlike most AC cables that constrict or compress an audio-provoked transient, AudioQuest NRG-Y3 AC power cables combine low DC resistance and zero characteristic impedance in order to deliver uncompressed transients on demand.

Long-Grain Copper (LGC) minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries that exist within any metal conductor. In AudioQuest's Semi-Solid Concentric conductor topology, strands are packed more tightly and never change position within the bundle, significantly reducing strand-interaction distortion.

Direction-controlled Silver-Plated shield conductors efficiently drain RF noise from the line and neutral shields to ground via the third “ground” pin. The net result is powerful, dynamic, and immersive. A fundamental aspect of AudioQuest's multifaceted Noise-Dissipation technology, Direction-Controlled Conductors ensure induced noise is dissipated and drained properly.
