Clean up the sound, with the AudioQuest NRG-Y3 1m mains cable.
Semi-Solid Concentric Packed Long-Grain Copper (LGC) Conductors
In a conventional multi-strand cable, distortion caused by electrical and magnetic strand interaction is compounded as each strand changes position within the bundle. In an AQ Semi-Solid Concentric Packed cable, strands within the bundle maintain their fixed relationships, significantly reducing distortion. Long-Grain Copper (LGC) allows a smoother and clearer sound than cables using regular OFHC (Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity) copper. LGC has fewer oxides within the conducting material, less impurities, less grain boundaries, and definitively better performance.
Silver-Plated Drain Wires
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.
Zero Characteristic Impedance
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 AC cables combine low DC resistance and zero (no) characteristic impedance in order to deliver uncompressed transients on demand.
Enjoy a smoother, more detailed sound, with the AudioQuest NRG-Y3 mains cable.

I was sceptical but not anymore
I recently bought this mains cable from Richer Sounds . I have to admit I was always sceptical about the benefits of these expensive cables but in a moment of madness i took the plunge. I’m glad I did because the improvements to sound stage,clarity and sound quality are amazing.

Excellent power cable.
Replaced the standard piece of wire that came with my streamer. To be honest, I can’t hear anything different in the sound, but then it must be better at removing RF interference due to the shielding. Just remember to change the fuse as it comes with 13amp which is probably too high for most HiFi separates.

Great power cable
I have a number of these cables and I highly recommend them. Great build quality, good insulation to minimise interference and low noise. Excellent performance/cost ratio

Initially sceptical .....but proven wrong
Great addition and recommendation by Richer Sounds. Was initially sceptical as have heard of and tried many other ‘gadgets’ but this does deliver noticeably. Not cheap but worth it...
