Mains Cables

AC POWER CONDITIONERSAll your Hi-Fi components are connected to the power line along with every other electrical device in your house, and to every home and factory also using the power grid.Power equipment on the AC line generates noise that travels back into the line where it enters your audio components. This noise is called electromagnetic interference or EMI. Light dimmers, refrigerators, and other household appliances put high-frequency junk in the AC line. Vacuum cleaners and electrical power tools are a major source of power-line noise because the fibres in the motors' brushes are continually making and breaking contact. The Line is also polluted by AM radio stations; power lines act as antennae, superimposing the AM signal over the 50/60Hz line.All of these problems can be controlled with a well-designed AC power-line conditioner. They provide the optimum AC environment for your components so that they may realise their full potential. The sonic benefits of a good line conditioner include a "blacker" background, with less low-level grunge and noise. The treble often becomes sweeter, less grainy and more extended.If you haven't tried a power-line conditioner, you may not have heard your system at its best.AC POWER CABLESPower cables have become very popular recently as more and more listeners discover their benefits.The noise problems mentioned above can be reduced with careful AC cable design. Magnetic interaction and coupling between the conductors is reduced with dedicated audio power cables, resulting in better transfer of AC to the audio component.
