## Description

The electricity network in our homes or workplaces is exposed to different interferences for instance radio frequency interreference (RFI) electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated by appliances connected to the same network (refrigerators, air conditioners, computers etc.). These interferences are not only produced inside your house or office but by all appliances in your building or even far outside it and can differ on the time of day or week when the traffic on the electrical network changes. All these interferences which we call noises can get into your AC power and interfere with your system. This “dirty” electricity can have a negative effect on performance of your audio-video system. We already offer a line of power filters (W-3900 & W-5900) and now to complement our strive to limit those unwanted mains pollutions we have developed a high quality power cord which is a perfect match to power filter, turntable, amplifier, CD player, DAC etc. and other electronic devices. Thanks to our power cords, your system will open up with superior dynamics, tighter bass, sweeter treble and improved depth and imaging. Specification: Cable Diameter: 17mm Conductor Material: 99.99% Oxygen Free Copper conductor 10AWG Cable Shielding: Double PVC jacket; Extra nylon jacket; Aluminum foil; Braided pure copper layer; Pure copper ground wire Plug: WAudio robust easy-grip US-type (15A/125~250V); Non-magnetic brass, gold plated pins and ground Connector: 3900CB robust easy-grip IEC-type (15A/125~250V); Non-magnetic brass, gold plated contacts Available Length: 3.3ft, 5ft, 6.6ft, 10ft

Review: My Audio Setup, A/B Listening Tests & Power Cord Verdicts - I purchased six (6) WAudio power cables [10 AWG Audiophile AC Power Cords] that were 6.6 feet in length. All six power cords arrived in perfect condition with no defects or loose parts. My audio setup, use of these six power cords, A/B sound quality testing and conclusions follow. My audio setup, while not at a top audiophile’s level, is more like an aspiring audiophile on a modest budget and includes the following: • Six (6) WAudio Audiophile AC Power Cables (6.6FT 10 AWG HiFi Power Cords), • Aurender N100H Network Streamer / Music Server (2TB for Digital Music Storage), • Digital Music Files: AIFF, FLAC, WAV, MQA (48kHz / 16Bit to 192kHz / 24Bit), • AudioQuest Digital Cables (Coffee USB, Coffee Coaxial & Coffee Optical), • AudioQuest Analog Cables (Big Sur RCA, Water XLR & Water RCA), • Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ (384kHz / 32Bit Capable), • Mytek Brooklyn ADC (384kHz / 32Bit Capable), • Uptone JS2 Linear Power Supply for Brooklyn DAC+ & Brooklyn ADC, • Denon AVR-X8500H (13 Ch with 150W @ 8 Ω/ohms, 20 Hz – 20kHz with 0.05% T.H.D.), • Emotiva 5 Channel Amplifier (300 Watt/Ch @ 8 Ω/ohms), • Panamax MAX 5300 EX (Power Conditioner for Denon AVR, Emotiva Amplifier, Aurender Music Server, Uptone JS2 LPS & 1 Definitive Tech Sub-woofer), • Definitive Tech. Speakers (6 Floor Standing, 1 Center, 1 Sub-Woofer & 4 Dolby Atmos) • Furman Elite 15DMi (Power Conditioner for 6 Floor Standing & 1 Center Channel Speaker) Note re EMI & RFI Audio Noise: My Speakers produce NO noise or hum when powered by either my original equipment power cables or the WAudio Audiophile Power Cables. EMI and RFI interference can cause hum, noise and distorted audio in speakers. Power conditioners and shielding in cables and audio devices helps to eliminate speaker noise which greatly improves sound quality. Currently, a lot of great innovations are being developed to eliminate EMI and RFI from audio devices. The six (6) WAudio power cables were attached, in priority order, to my audio setup’s devices as follows: • Panamax Power Conditioner, • Denon AVR, • Emotiva Amplifier, • Uptone JS2 Linear Power Supply, • Aurender N100H Network Streamer / Music Server and • Cambridge Blue Ray Player. My A/B Sound Quality Testing, discussed below, used all six WAudio power cables and did not test for sound quality using less than six power cables. A/B Sound Quality Comparisons (WAudio Power Cables vs. My Original Power Cables): IMPORTANT: Before making comparisons, I highly recommend running electrical current through the WAudio Power Cables, while attached to your device(s), for at least 75 to 100 hours. During this burn-in period, what’s required is electricity passing through the power cables; playing music, during this time, is optional. Also, many reviews mention cable thickness which does require some length and routing adjustments for cable installation. You should get a longer length cable which allows at least 4-6 inches of space for 90º to 180º bends. And the cable’s plug is big, but I connected all of them, beside each other, in my power conditioner with no problems. And remember, if you get the wrong length cable, you can return the cable, get a refund, and replace it with the correct length. Before my A/B Sound Quality Comparisons, I did one final listen to very familiar music using my current original equipment power cables (A Part Done). Next, I attached the WAudio cables to my audio equipment and immediately listened to the same music using the WAudio cables with NO burn-in time. Without any burn-in, there was no discernable loss in sound quality from the WAudio cables versus my original equipment cables. I did have to turn the volume up a little to get the same sound level but there was absolutely no loss in sound quality. That’s a good sign! Next, I did a 100-hour burn-in on the WAudio power cables. In addition to A/B sound comparisons on the power cables, I also compared the WAudio cable’s sound quality when an RCA, Coax or Optical cable was connected to my amplifier. I could not directly test the sound quality of an XLR cable input because my amplifier lacks XLR audio inputs. The audio input paths for connecting and testing the sound quality of RCA, Coax and Optical audio input cables are shown below. 1. RCA Cable Input Path: Aurender > Coffee USB > Brooklyn DAC+ > Big Sur RCA Cables > Denon AVR’s RCA Cable Input. 2. Coax Cable Input Path: Aurender > Coffee USB > Brooklyn DAC+ > Water XLR Cables > Brooklyn ADC > Coffee Coaxial Cable > Denon AVR’s Coax Cable Input. 3. Optical Cable Input Path: Aurender > Coffee USB > Brooklyn DAC+ > Water XLR Cables > Brooklyn ADC > Coffee Optical Cable > Denon AVR’s Optical Cable Input. While my excellent Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ has XLR and RCA cable outputs for amplifier connection (“RCA Cable Input Path” above), it lacks Coax or Optical output connections. As a result, audio input paths 2 and 3 above reflect the method used to connect Coax and Optical cable outputs to my Denon amplifier’s Coax and Optical audio inputs for sound testing. To do that, my Mytek Brooklyn DAC+’s XLR audio outputs were connected to my Brooklyn ADC’s XLR audio inputs. And using my Brooklyn ADC’s Coax and Optical cable outputs, Coax and Optical cables were connected to my Denon amplifier for Coax and Optical sound quality testing. The three audio input paths above show a practical consideration in choosing audio devices. Having more input and output connections on an audio device can help in finding the connection path that delivers the best sound quality. To that end, users should consider AVRs, music streamers, DACs, CD transports, etc. that have both analog and digital input and output connections. One last unpaid comment about Mytek. As a state-of-the-art leader in audio innovation and sound quality, their stuff is always brick house solid, reliable and delivers superb sound. Now, here are my A/B Sound Comparison conclusions: • WAudio Power Cables produced significantly better sound quality than my current original equipment power cables, • WAudio Power Cables (with burn-In) produced a slightly higher sound level than my original equipment power cables (using the same amplifier volume setting), • Audio clarity improved for both voices & instruments, • Audio intensity and detail increased across high, medium & bass frequencies, • Audio was slightly more open and airier (a little more emotional connection) • A few more audio details were heard for the first time, • Less high frequency harshness (common complaint with digital music), • Slightly warmer sound across all frequencies (less listening fatigue), • A little deeper & tighter bass, • Faster & tighter high & mid frequencies with less audio smearing effects, • Wider sound stage with better voice & instrument definition and separation, • More electrical power stability (less voltage fluctuation per my power conditioner) • Amplifier sound quality from different audio inputs: Coaxial & Optical cable Inputs were equally good & significantly better than an RCA cable input. The Coaxial & Optical cable Inputs could have benefited from the Brooklyn ADC’s XLR audio input source. This could possibly explain why their sound quality was better than an RCA cable input.source, • How do I know the above sound quality conclusions are correct for “my audio setup”? After listening to the WAudio cables for over two weeks, I again tried listening to music using my old original equipment power cables. I could not remove them fast enough and replace them with WAudio’s superior power cables. • IMO Thoughts: Sound quality can behave quite differently on different audio devices and audio setups. If these cables provide no significant difference on an entry level audio setup, using original equipment power cables, keep them because you will hear better audio when you upgrade. My future power cable upgrade includes Pangea Audio AC-9SE MkII Signature 15 Amp Power Cables. I do NOT know how that cable compares but will provide a review when and if that upgrade happens. • Value: On the six (6) WAudio cables I purchased for $404 (includes tax), this was a great value. Now one Pangea Audio AC-9SE MkII Signature Power Cable costs about the same as six (6) WAudio power cables. However, cost alone is not a measure of value for me. Do your ears hear improved sound quality? Does improved sound quality from a device, over its useful life, justify its cost and value to you? The thought of missing a device’s sound quality improvement every single day can be a big purchase value motivator and cost justifier for many, including this audiofool. Finally, these cables look cool and can be returned if you select the wrong cable length or are not satisfied. Pass it forward. God bless.
Review: Good Value - TLDR: These cables are a great value for ~$40. Significantly better than the throw-away 14AWG cable your equipment came with. Buy them and be happy... General Notes on Cables: My background is in sensitive electronics for nuclear reactor control systems. Full disclosure, I'm also an "audiofool." Like every component, cables affect the performance of electrical systems. Physics dictates that every action has a reaction. Contact interfaces and impedance reflections are a thing. The magnitude of these effects is debatable. My perception of these effects, imaginary or not, is not debatable. If I can hear it, that's all I care about. 'Nuff said. Construction: I normally make my own cables, but these caught my eye in a moment of laziness and lack of parts. I took them apart and they are what they claim to be. Wire is 10AWG, as promised, with a hefty copper shield and even heftier sheathing. The additional nylon outer sheath is a nice aesthetic. There were a few stray wires at the clamps, but nothing that would cause a problem. All connections were tight. Most important is that the drain wire is connected to the source ground only. Cable shielding is essentially an antenna. To effectively eliminate EMI it must connect only to the power source ground. If it is connect only to the load (or both source and load) ground then all that EMI is routed to your equipment. These are wired correctly. Materials: The conductors are pure copper, not clad. Can't say if it is oxygen free or not, but I suspect it is since this is an increasingly common production technique. The plug contacts are certainly clad. Can't tell if it is actually gold but I'll give them the BOD. Again, pretty common. The underlying metal (see last photo) is most likely beta brass (~50% copper/50% zinc) which is typical for electrical connectors. What does all this mean? This is a good cable. Value: I normally use high copper power connectors from Monosaudio. A set runs ~$35 (another great desertcart deal). Then I have to buy the cable. 10/3 shielded cable runs anywhere from $1.75 - $3.00 per foot. A 1-meter cable costs as much or more to build as these cost already assembled with 1-day desertcart shipping. Did they make a difference in my system? Yes. Nearly everything I adjust in my system has an audible effect. But I have a highly resolving system with premium components and dedicated power lines/breakers for each component (streamer, DAC, DDC, amps all on separate power feeds) with high clamping force industrial grade sockets. My mono block amps have separate 10AWG feeds/breakers to the panel, which is why I replaced my 12AWG DIY cables with these. This is the level of system you need to fully gain the benefits of a power cable upgrade. How Can You "Hear" a Power Cable? Whatever the component in your system, it is processing the audio signal in some way. The power for this comes from the component's power supply. The quality of that power is vital. A poorly made or undersized power cable will introduce impedance reflections and EMI to the power supply. The power supply may or may not be able to compensate for this. In either case, a physical effect has been introduced. Better cables mitigate these effects so that the power supply has an easier job producing clean power. This is not voodoo, it is simple physics. Now, will a $2K power cable made of moon rock forged in the starlight of the summer equinox transform your system? See below... Final thoughts: If you have standard 12AWG Romex wiring in your house with standard contractor-grade sockets, then getting these 10AWG power cables probably won't make a difference (go for the 12AWG cable instead). If you have modest audio equipment, all on the same circuit, and all sharing that circuit with your computer, air conditioner, vacuum cleaner, etc., then upgrading to these cables is unlikely to produce audible results. It won't hurt, but the rest of the system is probably not resolving enough to hear a difference.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I never thought
*by K***R on January 28, 2024*

Ok. So I do believe that the quality of your cables makes a massive difference to the sound of your system. But your system has to be above average to notice the difference. IMO. So I figured after all these years I would get a power cable. So...I figured the price was good lets give it a try. So far today .... there was an immediate difference when attached to my integrated. The specific artist is Dianna Krall..not that she is my favorite artist but that her recordings are superior. All I have to say is...why did I wait so long. Everything is tightened up and the soundstage is more focused and there is less grit. Never thought I would say that. Every thing looks great on the cable and well built. Only time will tell if it stands up. I will follow up when I get to 40hrs burn in.
