What customers say
The P-079 Plug receives high praise, especially for its exceptional build quality and sonic improvements. Users consistently note a significant reduction in system noise, resulting in clearer detail and better micro-dynamics. The soundstage is frequently described as deeper and more three-dimensional, organizing complex music effectively. While installation is straightforward, the premium price point is a consideration for budget-conscious buyers. Enthusiasts, however, readily justify the cost based on the tangible high-fidelity gains achieved. This component is recognized as a top-tier solution for those prioritizing ultimate sonic performance and refinement in their audio systems.
Know before you buy
The 2.0 micron Direct Gold plating provides a superior, low-resistance electrical interface. By applying the gold directly to the polished copper alloy surface, it ensures maximum conductivity and long-term protection against oxidation.
The P-079 is designed as a free-hanging AC plug intended for high-fidelity power cord assemblies. It is specifically engineered for compatibility within the Audio Surroundings P/C Series power connector ecosystem.
Yes, the double-polished surface is critical for achieving a precise, high-contact fit. This smoothness minimizes microscopic gaps between the plug and the outlet, which helps maintain a stable and consistent power flow.
No, this specific model is designed exclusively as an AC plug (male end). You will need to source a corresponding connector from the P/C series if you are building a complete power cable assembly.
The internal contact structure is crafted from a high-quality copper alloy. This base material is chosen for its excellent electrical conductivity before being finished with the 24K gold plating.
