Frequently Asked Questions

Does power cable length or gauge matter?
Yes. Longer cables or high-current components benefit from thicker conductors (e.g., 2.5mm² or 12AWG) to maintain low resistance and voltage stability.
What is the difference between a power block, conditioner, and regenerator?
A power block is the simplest solution. It distributes mains power safely to multiple components, often with improved internal wiring and better mechanical stability than standard extension leads. A power conditioner goes further by filtering electrical noise and interference present on the mains supply. This can lower the noise floor and help systems sound cleaner and more controlled, especially in electrically noisy homes. A power regenerator actively rebuilds the incoming mains supply into ...
Are upgraded power cables better than the standard cables supplied with hi-fi equipment?
Standard power cables are designed to meet safety regulations at low cost, not to optimise audio performance. Upgraded power cables use higher-quality conductors, improved shielding, and better connectors to reduce interference and improve current delivery. In resolving systems, this can result in clearer detail, improved dynamics, and a more stable soundstage. While the effect varies by system, power cables often become more beneficial as the overall quality of the equipment increases.
When do I need a dedicated power supply or DC power upgrade?
Dedicated power supplies or upgraded DC supplies are most commonly used with low-voltage digital equipment such as streamers, DACs, routers, and network switches. These components are particularly sensitive to electrical noise from standard switch-mode power supplies. Upgrading the DC supply can improve timing, clarity, and background quietness. These upgrades tend to be most effective once the core system is already well balanced and you are aiming for refinement rather than a dramatic tonal change...
How important is clean mains power for digital and analogue hi-fi systems?
Clean mains power matters to both digital and analogue systems, but in different ways. Digital equipment can be affected by electrical noise that impacts timing, clarity, and perceived smoothness. Analogue equipment, especially turntables and phono stages, is sensitive to noise and interference that can mask low-level detail. Improving power quality can help systems sound more composed, quieter, and more consistent. The more revealing the system, the more noticeable the benefits of cleaner power...
Should I upgrade my power first or focus on speakers and electronics?
For most systems, speakers, headphones, and core electronics deliver the biggest initial improvements. Power upgrades are usually most rewarding once the system fundamentals are already strong. That said, if you are experiencing noise, hum, or inconsistency, addressing power can bring immediate benefits. Power upgrades work best as part of a wider system approach rather than as a standalone fix.
Are hi-fi fuses safe, and do they actually change the sound?
Hi-fi fuses are safe to use when they are the correct rating and type specified by the manufacturer. They function in the same protective way as standard fuses, but can use different materials, construction methods and optimisations. Some listeners report improvements in clarity, focus, and low-level detail after fitting a hi-fi fuse. These changes are typically subtle and system-dependent, making fuses more of a fine-tuning option than a primary upgrade.
What are AudioQuest mains power cables designed to improve?
They aim to reduce electrical noise, improve current delivery, and enhance overall system performance.
Do AudioQuest power cables make a noticeable difference?
Many users report improved dynamics, lower noise, and better detail, particularly with source components and amplifiers.
Do AudioQuest mains cables really make a difference to sound quality?
This is the most common question about any mains power cable, and it is a fair one. The honest answer is yes, in many systems, particularly those built around quality components that are sensitive to mains noise. The UK mains supply carries a significant amount of RF interference and noise from household devices, smart meters, and the broader electrical grid. AudioQuest mains cables are designed to reduce the amount of that noise reaching your equipment. The improvement tends to be most noticeable...
Are AudioQuest mains cables safe to use in the UK?
Yes. AudioQuest mains cables sold through Future Shop are UK-spec, fitted with correctly rated and fused UK mains plugs. All cables meet the relevant safety standards. If you are ever unsure about a cable specification or have questions about earthing and safety, our team is happy to advise before you purchase.
Which AudioQuest mains cable should I start with?
The NRG Y3 is the most popular starting point and represents strong value at its price. It uses solid Long-Grain Copper conductors and AudioQuest's noise-dissipation technology in a practical, flexible design. If your system is built around components worth upwards of £2,000 each, the NRG-Z3 or Thunder would be a more proportionate investment.

    The Chord Company PowerHAUS mains block is the distillation of decades working with signal and power transfer and benefits from a unique version of their acclaimed ARAY technology (MainsARAY) which has been specially adapted for power distribution. Virtually every component utilised inside the PowerHAUS is uncompromising and has been manufactured specifically for its intended purpose. Accordingly, both M6 and S6 models are non-switched and avoid filters and neon power indicators which can generate noise and reduce quality. Their solid aluminium construction minimises the unwanted effects of microphony, too.

    The flagship M6 offers the best performance and utilises three hybrid MainsARAYs fitted in parallel (rather than in series) to the bus bars, removing high-frequency noise whilst remaining outside of the circuit. Rather than being star-wired (which is susceptible to RFI), the wiring is run along three bus bars which are all isolated from each other. The earth bus bar is kept as far away as possible from both the live and neutral.
