Audioquest Thunder AC Power Cable - AudioQuest Alternating Current (AC), is a far-from-perfect power source. AC power technology is well over a century old and was never designed to meet the exacting standards of today’s high resolution audio-video components. AC noise is present at the utility source, and is then exacerbated by radio frequency noise that is induced (picked up by the AC power cord) and coupled to the component power supplies and to circuit ground. This creates distortion and low-level signal losses via the “masking effect.” Further, power amplifiers can require immense reserves of transient current for their power supplies to react to and then stabilize during dynamic audio passages. Most AC power cords and power conditioner-regenerators, though helpful to a point, are simply not up to the task.Features: Solid Long-Grain Copper (LGC)/ Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) Conductors Uncompressed High-Current Transfer Ground Noise Dissipation Technology (US Patent # 9,373,439) Zero Characteristic Impedance (50Hz – 1MHz) 72VDC Dielectric Bias System (US Patent #7,126,055) Audiolab Stereo & Video Center
