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.

£3,250.00Inc. VATThe Sigma v2 XC by Shunyata Research is much like the Sigma 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 Sigma 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.

The Omega QR-s is essentially a slimmer version of the top-of-the-line Omega QR, but still carries all of the same flagship technologies. Featuring Shunyata Research's patented QR/BB™ technology, borrowed from their industry-leading power distribution products, the Omega QR-s can easily and cleanly power any component directly from the wall, and comes with 3 DF-SS Cable Elevators included. Like any Shunyata cable, the Omega QR-s also undergoes 4 days of their proprietary KPIP processing.
Please note: for the QR/QR-s version, C15 is the standard termination. C19 connector will carry a lead time of 3-4 weeks.
