AudioQuest NRG-X3 Power Cable

AudioQuest designs their conductors to have a specific grain structure that minimizes RF noise. By ensuring the cable is installed in the correct direction—indicated by the arrows on the connectors—you ensure that the noise dissipation is optimized for the cleanest signal path.

Yes, this cable uses a standard NEMA 5-15P wall plug and an IEC C13 connector, which is the most common three-prong input found on amplifiers, receivers, and other high-end audio components.

Standard power cables often use lower-purity copper that can introduce distortion. The Long-Grain Copper used here has fewer impurities and fewer grain junctions, which allows for a smoother, more consistent flow of current with less signal degradation.

Cold-welding creates a high-pressure connection between the wire and the plug without the use of solder. Solder can often act as a weak point or a source of resistance, so this method ensures a more reliable, low-impedance electrical contact.

The 3.0-meter length is ideal if your equipment rack is positioned further from the wall outlet or if you need to route the cable neatly behind furniture. If your components are closer to the outlet, ensure you have enough slack to avoid putting tension on the connectors.
