Power Cables

The AudioQuest NRG-Y3 is an entry-level high-performance AC power cable designed to replace the stock "black noodles" that come with most audio/video gear. It is part of the Y-series, which focuses on reducing the distortion and noise that standard cables typically introduce into a system.

Product description

Core Technologies

The NRG-Y3 uses several proprietary AudioQuest technologies to clean up power delivery:

  • Long-Grain Copper (LGC): Unlike standard Oxygen-Free High-Conductivity (OFHC) copper, LGC has fewer impurities and fewer grain boundaries. This results in a smoother, clearer sound by reducing internal electrical distortion.

  • Semi-Solid Concentric Conductors: In a typical cable, strands can shift position, causing "strand-interaction distortion." In the NRG-Y3, the strands are packed tightly in a fixed relationship, which keeps the signal more stable.
  • ZERO-Tech (Zero Characteristic Impedance): Most power cables compress transients (sudden bursts of sound like a drum hit) because of their impedance. ZERO-Tech allows for uncompressed current transfer, making the audio feel more "dynamic" and "visceral."
  • Direction-Controlled Conductors: All metal strands have a non-symmetrical grain structure. AudioQuest identifies the direction that best drains Radio Frequency (RF) noise and marks the cable accordingly to ensure noise is moved away from your sensitive components.
