Even the most sophisticated filters and power supplies cannot eliminate this cable-induced distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAudioQuest NRG-X3 Power Cable Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSEMI-SOLID CONCENTRIC PACKED CONDUCTORS:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-Solid Concentric Packed Conductors are used in some of AudioQuest’s AC power and speaker cables as a cost-effective, flexible alternative to typical stranded conductors. Semi-Solid Concentric Packed Conductors use fewer, larger strands that do not change position down the length of the cable. While solid conductors are the complete solution to strand distortion, Semi-Solid Concentric Packed Conductors avoid many of the distortion mechanisms of stranded conductors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLONG-GRAIN COPPER (LGC):\u003c\/strong\u003e LGC allows a smoother and clearer sound than cables using regular OFHC (Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity) copper. OFHC is a general metal industry specification regarding “loss” without any concern for distortion. LGC has fewer oxides within the conducting material, less impurities, less grain boundaries, and definitively better performance. NRG-X3 cables use LGC strands in a Semi-Solid Concentric Packed Conductor arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHELICAL-ARRAY GEOMETRY:\u003c\/strong\u003e The relationship between conductors defines a cable’s most basic electrical values (including capacitance and inductance). However, even when those variables are kept in a reasonable balance, the relationship between conductors can be varied in ways that greatly effect performance. Helical-Array (such as circular-spiral) construction allows for significantly better dynamic contrast and clarity than if the same conductors were run in parallel or as multiple twisted pairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOLD-WELD SYSTEM:\u003c\/strong\u003e This novel plug design enables a perfect heat-free connection between cable and plug. The connection between the plug and conductors is made using AQ’s Cold-Weld System, which provides a superior connection that ensures that the structural integrity of the conductor is kept completely intact.  The Cold-Weld System refers to a combination of high pressure at the point of contact and the use of copper- or silver-impregnated paste.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTERMINATIONS:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-Pole wall plug to IEC or C–5\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AudioQuest","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449773322343,"sku":"42525","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/audioquest_nrg-x3-us_1_5570cf03-4d4c-4e85-9cfe-dfce6c26750a.jpg?v=1787090349","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/audioquest-nrg-x3-power-cord-6f","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
