AudioQuest NRG-Z3 Power Cable
The AudioQuest NRG-Z3 Power Cable is engineered to significantly reduce RF distortion in high-end home theater and hi-fi systems. It features AudioQuest's patented Ground-Noise Dissipation (GND) technology, which effectively drains RF noise from the line and neutral shields to ground. The cable utilizes direction-controlled Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) conductors in a semi-solid concentric arrangement, minimizing distortion caused by grain boundaries and strand interaction. This design ensures powerful, dynamic, and immersive audio and video performance by preventing RF noise from modulating sensitive circuits. The NRG-Z3 is recognized for its award-winning performance, offering exceptional value and enhancing system coherence.
