AC Power Cords using the Acrolink 6N Power Cable Series

I have been looking the last couple of years for a great-sounding, but fairly-priced power cable to meet the needs of many music lovers, and one to recommend for use (as a lower-cost alternative) for the Power Wing. After a good deal of testing, I found a superior product, one that clearly outperformed several other very popular, far more expensive, and well-reviewed cables. The Acrolink cables use extremely-high quality 6/9's OFC copper conductors, and are mated to the sonically-superior Oyaide connectors. With further system testing, I also determined that by adding my customary double-cryogenic treatment, together with the accelerated break-in and conditioning of the Cable Cooker™ (as used for all WorldPower products), an already terrific product became extraordinary.

For those interested in higher performance for their audio & video systems, without breaking the bank, I am happy to introduce these to the audiophile marketplace. There is tremendous hyperbole in this marketplace, with too many cable manufacturers extolling their designs, declaring them "the best in the world". Many times they are very good, or just o.k., and not ground-breaking. But as I've remarked over the years, "hearing is believing". These Acrolink cables, treated in the manner of all WorldPower products, are quite remarkable, especially in light of their price-performance ratio. Are they "the best"? What is "best" is only what works synergistically in your own system ...what others declare is irrelevant.

You are invited to experience them. And if, for instance, you later decide you prefer one "flavor" over another, exchanges will be happily made.

Audition cables will also be made available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

UPDATE....customers have been reporting great results with the 046 and 037 cables on their plasma and LCD monitors.

Pricing includes double-cryogenic treatment and 4 1/2 days of conditioning on the Cable Cooker™.

Please call for pricing on longer lengths.

Rhodium-over-silver (037):
vivid....immediate....a sense of increased detail....a closer musical perspective.

Direct gold (079):
luxurious....rich....soulful....an extraordinarily deep and wide soundstage....speakers disappear.

Palladium-over-gold (046):
extraordinary clarity....increased nuance and subtlety....a deep and wide soundstage....a 'cooler' presentation than the direct gold.

Acrolink 6N-P4030PC ...six-nines OFC, 10-gauge copper power cable.

True Purity

Various manufacturers claim to produce ultra high purity, 6N (99.99997%) copper; however, different refining processes yield materials that vary greatly in both the composition of impurities and crystalline structure.

Most of the "so called" 6N and 7N materials are not measured comprehensively. Glow Discharge Mass Spectrometry - an extremely powerful tool for performing ultra-trace elemental analysis has been applied to Acrolink's 6N pure copper. The results in the accompanying table demonstrate that Acrolink has achieved an unrivalled standard of purity.

The Effect of Impurities

Minute impurities create variations in impedance, inhibiting the ability of a cable to achieve extended frequency response. Responsible for meeting the needs of leading edge computer and aerospace technology, Acrolink has developed a multi-stage process that removes each impurity individually. Applying this to audio they have been able to achieve flat frequency response to 18 GHz in their Mexcel series!

Stress-Free

After the cable core is formed, the Acrolink Stress-Free process is applied in a clean, oxygen free environment. This imparts permanent self-annealing properties: No matter how often the cable is bent or impacted, it will always return to its original relaxed state (uniform crystalline structure).

Dielectric

A new polymer polyolefin, presently the best material available, has been chosen for the insulator for its extremely low dielectric constant (1/3 of polypropylene and 1/4 of PVC).

Resonance Absorption

Proper absorption of resonance is one of the key factors in determining final sound quality. Acrolink has focused on this issue for many years and developed tremendous expertise. Materials are carefully selected for each individual design in order to achieve perfectly balanced and effective absorption.
