Choosing a mains cable
Start with the connector. Your equipment takes one of four inlets. C13 is the standard kettle style socket, C15 is the notched high temperature version used by some amplifiers, C19 is the larger high current type on bigger power amplifiers, and Figure 8 is the small two pin fitting on lighter source components. The wrong one will not fit, so check the back of the unit before ordering.
Current capacity comes next. A power amplifier draws far more than a DAC or a streamer, and a cable designed for a source component can restrict a large amplifier on dynamic peaks. Where a manufacturer specifies a minimum, follow it.
On what to expect: changes here are usually described as a lower noise floor and better dynamic control rather than a shift in tonal balance, and they tend to be clearest on amplifiers and on digital sources with switching supplies. It is also the area of hi-fi where the gap between claim and result is widest, which is exactly why the 60-day money-back guarantee matters here. Put one on your amplifier and decide for yourself.

From£79.95Inc. VAT
As with the previous versions of NRG-X cables, new NRG-X cables use Direction-Controlled Long-Grain Copper (LGC) in superbly simplified Semi-Solid Concentric Conductors — packing the same 12 amp rating (X3,120V) into 7 strands instead of the previous 37 strands. That’s an incredibly tiny percentage of the previous strand interaction. Sounds so simple, but the resulting improvement is so delightfully clear.

Atlas EOS 4DD EU Mains Power Cable - C19 16A 1m (Special Offer) - Black November DealSKU: EOS 4DD EU - C19 16A 1m
£312.95 £445.00Inc. VAT ✓ Save £132.05Eos power cables are sophisticated products designed specifically to allow your equipment to perform properly. Built around high purity low resistance OFC (Oxygen Free Copper), with low series resistance, high-efficiency dielectrics and extensive screening, Eos 4dd cables effectively filter out harmful incoming radio frequency and power contamination, dumping these rapidly to earth. By comparison a typical domestic power lead in comparison, lacks the quality of component parts, screening layers, dual drain system and anti-vibration treatment Atlas' employ in Eos.

From£1,890.00Inc. VATThe Ultra Black II power cable might be a replacement for the Ultra Silver power cable, but its sonic signature fits firmly within the profile of the Ultra Black family - meaning a neutral, well-resolved and coherent sound with much higher performance than the Black II. -
£2,730.00Inc. VATThe Furutech PowerFlux NCF is a high-end 1.8m UK mains power cable featuring Alpha OCC conductors, FI-50 NCF IEC and FI-1363 NCF UK connectors, GC-303 EMI absorption modules, and a patented Earth/Ground Jumper System for clean, stable AC power delivery. -
£1,916.67Ex. VATThe Alpha v2 XC by Shunyata Research is much like the Alpha v2 NR, except it is designed specifically for use with power conditioners. Like its sibling the NR, it benefits from sonic welding which joins metals together at a molecular level as well as proprietary CopperCONN™ Carbon Fiber connectors to ensure longevity. Like all other Shunyata cables the Alpha v2 XC undergoes Kinetic Phase Inversion Processing- a step up from simple burning in- so they are ready to deliver audiophile and medical-grade performance right out of the box. Please note: for the XC version, C19 is the standard termination. Longer lead times may apply for the C15 termination.
