Know before you buy
The Nova features a standard IEC C13 connector, making it compatible with most high-fidelity audio components, including amplifiers, DACs, streamers, and power conditioners that utilize a standard three-prong power input.
Standard cables often allow magnetic fields to build up, which can introduce interference. The Ground Zero design uses a specific internal geometry to cancel these magnetic fields, resulting in a cleaner power delivery that helps reduce background noise in your audio signal.
Yes, the cable is rated for an operating voltage range of 90V to 265V, meaning it is suitable for use in almost any country worldwide, provided you have the correct wall-plug adapter for your specific region.
Despite its heavy-gauge conductors and robust shielding, the Nova is designed with a tough yet flexible outer sheath. It is manageable enough to route behind most audio racks without being overly rigid or difficult to position.
While the cable performs well out of the box, many audiophiles find that high-performance power cables settle into their optimal sonic signature after a few days of consistent use as the materials stabilize.
Air is an excellent insulator. By using air-dielectric delineators, iFi minimizes the physical contact between the conductors and the cable's insulation, which reduces capacitance and helps maintain a constant impedance for more stable power delivery.
