Know before you buy
The PK-10 Ascent features a standard NEMA 5-15P wall plug and a C13 connector. It is compatible with most high-end audio components, such as amplifiers, DACs, and preamplifiers that utilize a standard IEC power inlet.
The dual-layer braided copper shielding acts as a barrier against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. By blocking this external noise, the cable ensures that your equipment receives a cleaner power signal, which typically results in a lower noise floor and improved sonic detail.
While the braided polymer jacket is designed for durability and protection, it is reasonably flexible. However, due to the high-quality shielding and construction, it is stiffer than a standard stock power cord, so you should ensure you have enough clearance behind your equipment.
The PK-10 Ascent is designed to provide stable, interference-free power to sensitive components. In high-resolution systems, users often notice improved dynamics and a cleaner, more transparent soundstage compared to standard power cords.
Like many high-fidelity audio cables, the PK-10 Ascent may perform at its best after a short period of use. We recommend allowing the cable to settle into your system for 50 to 100 hours of playback to experience its full sonic potential.
