AudioQuest Dragon / Source Low-Z / Noise-Dissipation 3-Pole AC Power Cable Solid Perfect-Surface Silver (PSS)/Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) Conductors Optimized For Source Components Ground Noise Dissipation Technology (US Patent # 9,373,439) Zero Characteristic Impedance (50Hz – 1MHz) 72VDC Dielectric Bias System (US Patent #7,126,055) Directionally Controlled Conductors THE CHALLENGE 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.” Most AC power cords and power conditioner-regenerators, though helpful to a point, are simply not up to the
