Eliminating Characteristic Impedance (\u003cem\u003eZero\u003c\/em\u003e means \u003cem\u003eNo \u003c\/em\u003ein this application) is like having only air in the tube, as close to a vacuum as possible. Whether the amp is running at less than a watt or is fully maxed out, the unrestricted transients are visceral — something the whole body understands, no words required.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eNRG-Y2 and NRG-Y3 AC cables use Long-Grain-Copper (LGC) in a 7-strand Semi-Solid Concentric arrangement in which the strands never change position within the bundle. This technique significantly reduces strand-interaction distortion. The higher purity and fewer grains within LGC copper further reduce distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAll the new models also feature Direction-Controlled Conductors \u0026amp; Silver-Plated Shield Drains:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAll drawn metal has a non-symmetrical, and therefore directional, grain structure. AudioQuest controls the resulting RF impedance variation so that noise drains away from where it will cause distortion. The Silver-Plated shield drains efficiently remove RF noise from the line and neutral shields via the wall plug’s “ground” pin – which is why even the 2-Pole “2” models have an unexpected ground pin.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AudioQuest","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49135953805623,"sku":"171537","price":174.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/2860\/9079\/files\/nrg-y2-us.jpg?v=1762447719","url":"https:\/\/www.worldwidestereo.com\/products\/audioquest-nrg-y2-low-distortion-2-pole-ac-power-cable-3-28-1m","provider":"World Wide Stereo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
