Audioquest NRG-Y3EU to Kettle PlugCable

The Audioquest NRG-Y3 EU to Kettle Plug Cable delivers low-distortion power transfer with advanced construction for superior audio and video performance. Designed with Long-Grain Copper and silver-plated drain wires, this cable minimises noise and distortion for a dynamic and immersive experience.

Key Features

• Low-distortion 3-pole power cable
• Long-Grain Copper (LGC) semi-solid concentric conductors reduce strand interaction distortion
• Silver-plated, direction-controlled drain wires efficiently dissipate RF noise
• ZERO characteristic impedance for uncompressed current transfer and optimal transient response
• Direction-controlled conductors and shields ensure quiet background and minimal circuit misbehaviour

Overview

Even the most perfect AC power sources add distortion within any AC cable, introducing Transient Intermodulation Distortion (TIM) as RF noise modulates low-level audio and video signals. The NRG-Y3 cable addresses this challenge by using direction-controlled Long-Grain Copper strands in a semi-solid concentric conductor arrangement, where strands are tightly packed and maintain fixed positions to significantly reduce distortion.

The cable’s silver-plated shield conductors efficiently drain RF noise from the line and neutral shields to ground via the third ground pin, resulting in powerful, dynamic, and immersive sound and video performance.

Technical Details

Semi-Solid Concentric Long-Grain Copper (LGC) Conductors: Unlike conventional multi-strand cables where strand movement increases distortion, the semi-solid concentric design keeps strands fixed, reducing electrical and magnetic strand interaction. LGC offers fewer oxides, impurities, and grain boundaries than regular OFHC copper, delivering smoother and clearer sound.

Silver-Plated Drain Wires: Direction-controlled silver-plated shield conductors efficiently drain RF noise to ground, minimising interference and enhancing clarity.

Zero Characteristic Impedance: This cable combines low DC resistance with zero characteristic impedance, allowing uncompressed transient current transfer and superior performance compared to typical AC power cables.
