They surprised me. The AC power that feeds your gear is the foundation of your system's audio and video performance. Even if you've plugged your components into a power conditioner to clean up the current coming out of your wall, a flimsy stock power cord can act as an antenna for airborne interference that subtly degrades high-resolution audio and video signals. I was an aftermarket power cord skeptic until I tried one on my high-performance DAC about 15 years ago. To this day it's the most dramatic cable-related enhancement I've ever heard in my system. Advanced materials and construction for lower distortion AudioQuest's NRG-Z3 uses solid conductors made of high-purity Perfect-Surface Copper+. Solid conductors eliminate interaction between wire strands, which is a major source of distortion in an AC power cable. AQ's Semi-Solid Concentric conductor arrangement packs strands very tightly so that they never change position within the bundle, which significantly reduces distortion. Where to start when upgrading power cords The NRG-Z3 works with most components that have a detachable, three-pole IEC power cord. Some devices respond more noticeably than others to a better power cable. Opinions vary, but here's how I would prioritize upgrading your power cords: source (CD player, DAC, phono preamp) power amplifier, powered speakers preamp or A/V pre-pro, power conditioner powered subwoofer
