The Quasar power cable by iFi audio is crafted for budding audiophiles, offering an excellent balance between performance and affordability.
Ground Zero Design:
- Magnetic Field-Free Core: Ground Zero design creates a central core free of any magnetic fields.
- Shotgun Ground Line: Non-twisting and constant impedance design significantly reduces ground loop noise.
- True Balanced Power Cable: Geometrically balanced pairs cancel out magnetic fields caused by live and neutral conductors.
- Double Circular Helix Power Line Design: Twisted configuration aids in RFI/EMI rejection.
- Concurrent Shielding: Each power line is shielded, offering constant impedance and excellent insulation from EMI/RFI.
Material and Construction:
- Copper Core: Heavy OFHC continuous cast copper core ensures excellent conductivity.
- Connectors: Gold-plated connectors with copper connectors for optimal transmission.
- Durable Casing: Impact-resistant polymer casing for increased durability and longevity.
