AudioQuest NRG Tornado
High-Current AC Power Cable
Item #AQ:TORNADO
Overview
The Storm Series AC power cables are amongst the latest developments from AudioQuest. These high-end power cables are a design collaboration between Bill Low and Garth Powell. The Tornado High-Current combines the Perfect Surface Copper (PSC) and Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) to prevent strand interaction, a major source of ear fatiguing transient intermodulation distortion. AudioQuest Thunder is capable of delivering 20 amps RMS @ 125VAC 50/60Hz (16 amps RMS @ 220-240VA 50/60Hz) and suited to many higher current applications such as power amplifiers, AC power regenerators, power conditioners, power regenerators, powered subwoofers, loudspeakers, receivers, integrated amplifiers etc.
- Tornado/High-Current uses a carefully finessed combination of solid high-purity Perfect-Surface Copper (PSC) and extreme high-purity Perfect-Surface Copper + (PSC+) conductors to prevent strand interaction, a major source of ear fatiguing transient intermodulation distortion. The astonishingly smooth and pure Perfect-Surface Copper eliminates harshness and greatly increases clarity compared to OFHC, OCC, 8N and other premium coppers. The superior purity of PSC+ further minimizes distortion caused by grain boundaries, which exist within any metal conductor.
- AudioQuest 's patented Ground-Noise Dissipation greatly reduces this distortion, yielding unprecedented levels of noise dissipation across the widest bandwidth (range) of radio frequencies possible. AudioQuest's unique circuit-topology utilizes a common-mode phase-cancelling array, in concert with proprietary dielectric materials which provide additional differential linear filtering.
- By creating a constant dielectric field for the cable 's primary capacitance field or dielectric, DBS (Dielectric-Bias System) assures extended bandwidth and more evenly filtered noise dissipation, eliminating the distortions and ringing that plague other cables even after years of use and so called “run-in time." In addition, DBS assures that the RF Noise-Dissipation System works as linearly as possible.
- All drawn metal strands or conductors have a non-symmetrical, and therefore directional, grain structure. AudioQuest controls the resulting RF impedance variation so that noise is drained away from where it will cause distortion.
