Know before you buy
The cable features a hybrid conductor design that combines 24k gold, pure red OFHC copper, and absolute pure silver. These materials are cryogenically treated to optimize conductivity and ensure a clean, stable power delivery.
Yes, the Takshaka is designed for universal application. It features a standard NEMA 5-15P plug on one end and an IEC C13 connector on the other, making it compatible with the vast majority of amplifiers, DACs, and other audio components.
Snake River’s proprietary Hanging Faraday shielding is engineered to float the shield away from the conductors, which significantly reduces electromagnetic interference and noise floor. This design helps preserve the integrity of the signal, resulting in a quieter background and a more immersive soundstage.
While the Takshaka is a high-performance cable with a robust 9-10 AWG cumulative gauge, it is finished with a flexible nylon braided jacket. It offers a balance of durability and manageability, though it is thicker than standard stock power cords.
The Takshaka is rated for 15 Amps, which is sufficient for most high-end audio components, including power amplifiers. However, you should always verify the power requirements of your specific device to ensure it does not exceed the 15A limit.
Cryogenic treatment involves cooling the metal conductors to extremely low temperatures, which helps to align the crystalline structure of the materials. This process minimizes internal resistance and improves electron flow, contributing to the cable's overall sonic clarity and musicality.
