Purple Flare 3 Power Cable * NEW *

from £250.00

When you listen to your system, a lot of what you're hearing is the responsibility of the power cord. The music enjoyed from your hi-fi system is little more than AC power, transformed by components to reproduce a melody. The quality of this reproduction is directly determined by the caliber of power cord, which facilitates this transfer of raw electricity to the equipment. By simply upgrading the AC cable in your set up, the audible difference is remarkable. Unlike other cables, a power cord does not transmit a signal: It conducts AC power. The success of this cable is gauged by its capacity to deliver a sturdy, instantaneous current as well as its ability to reduce the effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequencies (RF) coming from outside sources.

The Purple Flare 3 Power Cord uses Nordost's proven, proprietary high-speed, low-loss Micro Mono-Filament construction, applied to 16 AWG silver plated, solid core OFC conductors, which have then been extruded with FEP insulation. This unique cable design provides the crucial foundation needed at the base of any successful sound system, heightening the realism of sound systems.

Lengths over 2m available: Add £50 per additional 1/2 meter

[The Purple Flare Power Cord] shines a light into music’s murkier corners exposing greater subtleties, most notably lengthening the tail of each piano note’s natural decay… And yet, paradoxically, the additional intensity brought by the Nordost wire also sounded more relaxed. Joining the dots between amped up fervour and greater repose is our third qualitative descriptor: effortlessness.
