Upgrade AC (Mains) cables are used by many audio/video enthusiasts
who recognize the improvements they provide for many components. We urge you to complete a system analysis and speak with a knowledgeable dealer or Straight Wire staff
to determine which power
cables are most beneficial for your system.
MECHANICAL ISSUES: Low Frequency vibrations (60-240 HZ harmonics) cause noise
in the power supplies of many components. The supply can be poorly seated and even
with perfect power - create mechanical resonances.
ELECTRICAL ISSUES: Leakages, magnetic field effects and induced noise
based upon how well the power supply is shielded and physically coupled to the
chassis. Overall
shielding and grounding of the component is quite important.
Do power cords make audible / visible differences on most components? - YES
Do tires of the same speed rating make differences on performance cars - YES
Would you choose the same tire for a light sports car vs. a big sedan - NO
Is their one Power Cable design that will work great on all equipment - NO
Straight Wire has power cords composed of shielded low resistance
twisted helical pairs and premium materials that minimize electromagnetic effects, noise and maintain dynamics.
