Store your stock cord, and get this!
Steven from Canton, MI on 3/25/2025
Great upgrade over the stock power cord for my vacuum tube preamp. Adds fullness to the midrange and improves bass extension. I compared this power cord to my more expensive cords and it more than holds its own.
Pros: Improves sound quality Secure IEC connection
Cons: Cord is a bit stiff

Amazed at the sound difference
Kevin from Monrovia, MD on 6/17/2024
I took a chance to give these a try. I honestly didn't think that a power cable would make any difference, but I was wrong. My highs and lows are tighter and and more pronounced! I used these on my AMP, CD player , and the Y2 on my sub. Yes, it is alot of money for just a power cable, but well worth it!
Pros: Everything about them
Cons: None. Just give yourself room behind your equiptment as these cables need a little bending room

Improves the Panasonic UHD Player
Bryan from East Lansing, MI on 1/16/2024
It's a good power cord that does what it claims, offering improved picture and sound quality compared with the stock cord supplied with my Panasonic UHD player. Secure connection, flexible body and it's shielded. Audioquest is just one of those bedrock brands whose products are consistent, well made, and fairly priced for what you get.

AudiiQuest AC Cables - WOW!
Gerald from HANOVER, MD on 4/28/2023
AudioQuest NRG-Y3 and Z3, both 1 meter. I just received 2 Y3s and 1 Z3 I have a pretty good HiFi, Top Range Rotel, Rega, Parasound components with SVS Sub and Klipsch Forte III speakers, all plugged into a Furman PL8C Power Conditioner, but I could not believe the difference I heard when I swapped out the stock AC cables for these AudioQuest cables. What a DRAMATIC Change! They're not even broken in yet, and they immediately added depth, clarity and realism beyond what I had thought was quite good already! In fact, I think these are such a worthwhile upgrade that I've just ordered two more, one NRG Y-3 and one NRG-Z3 to complete all AC cables in my HiFi system. BTW, the Y3s went to components and the Z3 to the Amp. Just fantastic! Highly recommended.
Pros: GREAT sound isolation - extremely quiet, improved the tone of instruments. Brought more detail to the music. Who would have expected a power cable to be so effective? I'm a Believer!
Cons: None, not even the price. I do wish these were available in shorter, half meter lengths, however.

Good Stuff
Brian from TAMPA, FL on 3/12/2022
At least for me, I'd start by saying Warning! These can be addictive! I started with one and now have everything using these and I have a good sized system. Made an improvement on everything, and especially on the sources, I highly recommended and they look so cool.

High quality power cable!
Crutchfield customer from Houston, TX on 9/26/2021
Well built cord with good shielding. I'm slowly becoming a believer that better quality cables do provide better quality sound in general. It can't hurt.
Pros: Quality build, well shielded
Cons: A bit pricy but not that much in the larger scheme of power cord on the market.

Sometimes dropping the noise is good!
Crutchfield customer from Kennesaw, GA on 12/10/2020
Great addition to my phono soundstage. The cable is well built, but flexible enough to fit in the small space that I have carved out for the preamp. The noise floor has dropped between the stock cable and the addition of this. I would certainly recommend it to anyone looking to lower the background noise that they are hearing in their system! Adding one of these cables to my subwoofer next...
Pros: Build quality Packaging
Cons: None

A usefull enhancement to higher end systems
Crutchfield customer from Tarpon Springs, FL on 6/10/2020
Adds punch and definition for a higher end system. Recommended for more serious audiophiles with appropriate equipment. Will make a less noticeable impact on lower end consumer grade rigs.
Pros: Solid construction.
Cons: Expensive

A Reasonable Investment
Crutchfield customer from Lorton, VA on 2/23/2020
Made this purchase as part of a troubleshooting exercise, trying to identify the source of some distracting noise in the right channel of my hires stereo system. After installation of the cord, the noise continued seemingly unabated. Other potential solutions also failed and I was able to eliminate everything except the amplifier. After I get the amp repaired my hope is that the other improvements (ac power conditioner, power cords and speaker cables) will be noticeable. I am pleased with the power cord. It's more flexible than others and is a good length (one meter) for my setup. The only gripe is that the fit into the amplifier is not as tight as the original cord, probably because the amplifier lacks a ground terminal to help hold the plug in place (but it's not likely to become detached). My research on possible sources of my noise convinced me that this replacement ac cord is a good investment. I recommend one for the amplifier and other components that draw a lot of current.
