This is a 1m powercord imo the 1st one that has the 72v active shielding -115-120 v U.S . I ONLY USE STRIPE-AUDIOGON for payment , due to my accident and upcoming surgeries , I can no longer afford to build a 2 nd audio system. If interested in 2 I can offer special pricing
I compared this with the AQ blizzard ,NO contest ,plug this into your line conditioner ,AMP ,OR Source , THIS HAS PERFECT COPPER conductors and much better dielectric AND BUILD QUALITY you get a big sound stage ,
and very tight imaging I had bought 7 cables ,I have 2 Thunders left for sale possibly 1 Tornado sourse
this cable still needs to be runin but opens up pretty quickly .
any AQ power cord with the 72 v dbs active shielding are all quality control tested, the active shields batteries last for at least 3-4 years I have had a tornado for over 3 years and the test button still turns on the green led , these RETAIL for $ 1195 - $495 ,THANK YOU .Long-Grain Copper (LGC) and Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) Conductors AWG 11 can handle up to 20 amps .
A carefully finessed combination of solid high-purity Long-Grain Copper (LGC) and high-purity Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) conductors prevent strand interaction, a major source of ear fatiguing transient intermodulation distortion. LGC allows a smoother and clearer sound than standard OFHC (Oxygen-Free-High-Conductivity) copper. The astonishingly smooth and pure Perfect-Surface Copper further eliminates harshness and greatly increases clarity compared to OFHC, OCC, 8N and other premium coppers.
ZERO-Tech
With current capacity of 20 amps RMS @ 125VAC 50/60Hz (16 amps RMS @ 220-240VA 50/60Hz), Thunder/High (Variable) Current can withstand current transient peaks many times its continuous (average) RMS rating. This makes Thunder/High (Variable) Current ideally suited for a wide assortment of AC power conditioners, power regenerators, AC isolation transformers, and AC battery back-up devices, as well as any power amplifier, powered subwoofer, powered loudspeaker, powered receiver, or integrated amplifier.
RF/ND-Tech
AC Ground wires may provide protection from an electrical short circuit, but they also act as an antenna. Thus, they are subject to induced radio-frequency (RF) noise. This RF noise bypasses component power supplies and is typically coupled directly into a system’s most sensitive audio/video circuits. AudioQuest’s RF/ND-Tech greatly reduces this distortion, yielding unprecedented levels of Noise-Dissipation across the widest bandwidth (range) of radio frequencies possible. Our unique circuit topology uses a common-mode phase-cancelling array, in concert with proprietary dielectric materials which provide additional differential linear filtering. US Patent # 8,988,168.
72v Dielectric-Bias System (DBS)
Insulation is also a dielectric that can act like a shunt-filter. Biasing minimizes dielectric-noise
