iFi Audio - Nova power cable, 1.8 m, gold

The ifi Nova is a premium high-end audiophile power cable that performs well above its very reasonable price.

The Nova power cable provides a major upgrade over standard mains. It gives the sound more clarity, space and definition.

It provides a major upgrade over standard power cables, giving the sound greater clarity, space and definition. The ifi Nova features five conductors , each made of heavy, continuously cast OFHC (oxygen-free high thermal conductivity) copper, arranged in a geometrically balanced configuration – very unusual for this price point.

Two pairs of live and neutral conductors are located on either side of the grounding conductor, which is located in the center of the cable. An additional pair of air-dielectric separators - essentially polymer matrix tubes filled with air - are located on either side of the grounding conductor, keeping the two pairs of live and neutral conductors separate while improving the cable's overall dielectric performance and structural strength.

The cable is finished with a tough yet flexible polymer outer jacket and custom iFi audiophile connectors, complemented by 24-karat gold-plated oxygen-free copper conductors.

As a result, there is no residual magnetic field applied to the center ground conductor, and no unwanted induced voltage on the ground conductor – this design is an unspoken Ground Zero.

The result of this sophisticated combination of materials and construction is that the Nova power cable offers constant impedance and superior EMI/RFI rejection, maintaining the purity of the electrical network powering every component in an audio or AV system.
