Know before you buy
This cable is specifically engineered for source components, such as DACs, CD players, streamers, and preamplifiers. It is optimized for line-level AV gear rather than high-draw power amplifiers.
By blending solid conductors with Litz wire, the cable balances the benefits of both designs to improve transient response. This helps your components deliver a cleaner, more detailed sound with a lower noise floor.
Despite its robust 14-gauge construction, the AC-14SE MkII is designed for superior flexibility. It is much easier to maneuver in tight spaces than many other audiophile power cables, which also helps reduce strain on your equipment's power inlets.
The shield acts as a barrier against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. By blocking this external noise, the cable ensures that your sensitive source components receive a cleaner power signal.
Yes, it features a standard NEMA Type 5-15 male plug for wall outlets and a universal IEC C13 female connector, which is the most common power input found on high-end audio components.
Yes, the AC-14SE MkII features a removable ground pin. This can be useful for troubleshooting ground loop hums in specific system configurations, though it should be used with caution.
