AudioQuest NRG-Y2 Power Cable

This cable is specifically designed for devices with a C7 power inlet, often referred to as a 'figure-eight' connector. Check the back of your audio or video component; if the power port has two rounded pins arranged in a figure-eight shape, this cable will fit.

Zero-Tech, or zero characteristic impedance, ensures that the cable does not compress or restrict the flow of current. This allows your equipment to draw the power it needs instantly, which helps maintain the dynamics and clarity of your audio and video signals during demanding moments.

Yes, AudioQuest uses direction-controlled conductors to ensure that RF noise is drained away from the sensitive components of your gear. By controlling the grain structure of the copper, the cable effectively manages how noise is dissipated, resulting in a cleaner signal path.

The NRG-Y2 is a 2-prong cable designed primarily for source components like streamers, DACs, Blu-ray players, or smaller integrated amplifiers that use a C7 connection. It is not intended for high-current power amplifiers that require a 3-prong grounded connection.

This specific arrangement minimizes strand interaction, which is a primary source of distortion in standard power cables. By keeping the strands tightly packed and organized, the cable reduces the electrical interference that can muddy your sound or picture quality.
