AudioQuest Storm Series FireBird High-Current Power Cord
AudioQuest FireBird / High-Current Low-Z / Noise-Dissipation 3-Pole AC Power Cable Solid Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS)/Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) Conductors Uncompressed High-Current Transfer Ground Noise-Dissipation Technology (US Patent # 9,373,439) ZERO: No Characteristic Impedance Dielectric-Bias System with Radio Frequency Noise Trap Directionally Controlled Conductors Alternating Current (AC), is a far-from-perfect power source. AC power technology is well over a century old and was never designed to meet the exacting standards of today’s high resolution audio-video components. AC noise is present at the utility source, and is then exacerbated by radio frequency noise that is induced (picked up by the AC power cord) and coupled to the component power supplies and to circuit ground. This creates distortion and low-level signal losses via the “masking effect.” Further, power amplifiers can require immense reserves of transient current for their power supplies to react to and
