Know before you buy
The PC Triple C conductor is designed for high-purity signal transmission, which helps improve conductivity and clarity. This results in a more realistic and detailed sound reproduction compared to standard copper cables.
The cable features a specialized noise isolation structure combined with an OFC braid shield. This dual-layer approach effectively blocks external electromagnetic interference, ensuring a cleaner signal path for your audio components.
The Astoria has an outer diameter of 12.8mm. While it is robust and well-shielded, it remains flexible enough for most standard audio setups, though you should ensure you have a few inches of clearance to avoid sharp bends at the connectors.
This cable is engineered for professional audio applications, making it an excellent choice for high-end amplifiers, DACs, and preamplifiers. Its design focuses on maintaining signal integrity for sensitive equipment.
Yes, the cable is equipped with a NEMA 5-15P plug, which is the standard three-prong connector used in North American wall outlets. The other end uses an IEC C13 connector, which is the most common input found on high-fidelity audio gear.
The nylon yarn braid sleeve provides an extra layer of physical durability and helps with vibration damping. This protects the cable from wear and tear while minimizing the impact of mechanical vibrations on the signal.
